Working principle

LUGB-type 2 vortex flow sensor measuring the flow of liquid of steam,gas and low viscosity
according to Carmen and Strouhal relevant spiral produce and on the theory of the flow
relationship. As shown in picture, In the meter body vertical insert a triangular prism root
namely the happening of the body, when eddies of medium flow through the table body, in
triangular prism behind the alternate produce in opposite directions regular karman swirl,its
spiral separation and the flow of the medium frequency F speed by sensing head is
proportional to the V detected the number of spiral,can measure the flow velocity,again
according tp the table body mouth

Flowmeter structure and external dimension

� Insertion type vortex flowmeter are mainly used for various of industry,industrial
pipe large caliber gas,liquid,steam medium flow measurement,its characteristic
is structure simple,no move mechanical parts,low pressure loss,measuring
range rate is wide,range degrees of 10~15,high price-performance ratio.
� Pay attention to the installation;
� Mounting base insert pipe and the insert parts less than pipe inwall
� Base in pipelines should be correct position,not skewed.
� Deburring,wipe off welding slag
� The flange plane of base shoud be parallel with pipe axis
� Ensure that medium flow direction and Flow direction indicating rod consistent,
forbidden to pull the Flow direcitiong indicating rod.

Assenbling conditions

Sensor should be installed in horizontal,vertical,tilt(liquid flow from bottom to top)

corresponding with its`caliber of pipe,the sensor upstream and downstream should configure a
certain length of straight pipe section,and its length should be suitable with the below table

before anf after straight pipe section

8
 LUGB

� Near the Installation liquid sensor of pipeline should be filled with measuredliquid
� Sensor should avoid installed in pipeline which has strong mechanical vibration
� The inner diameter of the straight pipe section consistnet with sensor caliber
as far as possibl,if not consistent,it should use the pipeline which is slightly
bigger than sensor caliber
� When measuring medium which is need to corrected for temperature and
pressure,it should be take after the sensor 3 ～ 5 DN distance places as pressure
point, and take 5 ～ 8 DN distance places as temperature point
� The measured medium contains many impurities,it should be add install filters
which is in outside of the required length of the sensor straight pipe section upstream
� Sensor should avoid installed in the place which has a strong electromagnetic
interference,small spaces,and maintenance convenient..
