Fujifilm portable ultrasonic flowmeter in the field to check pump outlet flow

Error analysis in flow measurement

Check the abnormal reading of the on-line flowmeter

Avoid the background of process disruption and more expensive opening costs

Waterworks are mainly used to treat water, and generally have the following procedures:

1: Water intake structures, such as bucket and trough water intake structures, the function is to take water. It can also play a certain role in pre-settling

2: the first level pump house, the source water is pumped to the water plant

3: The coagulation tank, adding medicine in the water, so that the impurities in the water and the drug action, the formation of dao flocculant

4: The sedimentation tank will precipitate the formed flocs, thereby reducing the turbidity of the water

5: filter, water through the filter material layer, remove the particles in the water, at this time the turbidity of the water should reach below 1NTU

6: Add medicine, add chlorine back to the water, kill pathogenic microorganisms, so as to meet the national standard

7: Clear pool, adjust the volume of water.

8: two pump room to clear water pool into the pipe network.

Of course, the process of water plants in different places is different, but the principle is the same.

Measurement requirement

In order to control the flow process of a variety of larger quantities of liquids, tap water uses a lot of online flowmeters, most of which are electromagnetic flowmeters. Sometimes, one of the meters will measure an abnormal flow rate, a large deviation in velocity, or even no flow rate. In the past, water has removed these in-line flow meters from the production line so that field service departments can test the performance and functionality of these meters. However, most of the flow meters that were removed were inspected as functioning normally, and most of the errors actually occurred at another point in the process chain. As a result, opening the tube causes unnecessary process disruption and more expensive opening costs. Therefore, customers are looking for on-site verification instruments that can check the flow in the tube before removing the tube equipment.

Kekun Solutions

Kekun recommended the Fuji portable external clamp ultrasonic flowmeter FSCS10C4-00C. This portable ultrasonic device is battery powered and can be installed outside the pipe to measure fluid velocity flow. Waterworks pipe diameter thickness is diverse, Fuji flowmeter can measure DN13 ~ DN6000mm, Fuji ultrasonic flowmeter sensor can fully meet the needs of applications.

The compact evaluation unit (converter) measures fluid velocity, flow rate and various diagnostic values. The readings are displayed graphically on a large color liquid crystal.

The FSCS10C4-00C stores readings in integrated memory for data recording. They can also be transferred to a computer via an SD card for further analysis, or directly to a computer via a USB interface.

Customer benefit

The portable ultrasonic flowmeter is a more suitable diagnostic equipment for water companies, which can be used to speed up repair and save related costs. Before opening the pipeline and removing the online flowmeter, it is easier to check the process flow rate when there is a large deviation in the indication of the electromagnetic flowmeter.

The FSCS10C4-00C Ultrasonic flowmeter also provides additional convenience for customers: If one of the in-line flowmeters is damaged or needs to be temporarily replaced, the portable external clamping flowmeter from Fujifilm makes it easy to replace the electromagnetic flowmeter. It can be installed in a matter of minutes, thus minimising downtime and avoiding interruptions to long-term maintenance processes.

External clamp equipment can also play a role in the expansion process of the customer's production site. Before the start of a new production process, engineers use water for testing in order to detect possible leaks in time. During testing, the FSCS10C4-00C can be used to check the flow of water and diagnose whether the installed pump has reached the expected capacity, thereby improving the customer's understanding of the process before production begins.
