LUGB VORTEX FLOW METER

Summary

LUGB type vortex flow meter is a kind of velocity flow meter, which is widely used in

petroleum, chemical, electric power, light industry, power heating industry. The

production and implementation standards of our company's vortex flow meter are

vortex flow sensor (JB/T9249-2015) and verification regulations for vortex flow

meter (JJG10299-2007).

Operating Principle

The vortex flow meter is composed of a vortex generator, a detection probe and corresponding electronic

circuits. When the fluid flows through the vortex generator, two alternating rows of vortices are formed on

both sides of it. This vortex is called the Karman vortex street. On the basis of the Karman vortex street theory,

Strohha proposed that the frequency of the Karman vortex street is proportional to the flow velocity of the

fluid, and gives the relationship between frequency and flow velocity

f = St × V/d

Formula:

f Vortex generation frequency (Hz)

V Average flow velocity on both sides of the vortex generator (m/s)

St Strohal coefficient (constant over a range of Reynolds numbers)

d Width of front face of vortex generator (m)

These alternating vortices form a series of alternating fluid lift forces. The lift force acts on the detection

probe based on the piezoelectric effect to generate a series of alternating charge signals, which are

converted, shaped and amplified by the preamplifier. Output a pulse signal with the same frequency as the

vortex shedding and proportional to the flow velocity.

Instrument Features and Applications

Features:

1. No moving parts, long term stability, simple structure for easy installation and maintenance;

Installation Requirements
1. Flowmeter Installation

Horizontal Installation Vertical Installation Tilt Installation

Installation Diagram
① Make openings in the pipe as required by the opening size and position the openings to meet the

requirements of the straight pipe section.

② Place the flanged flowmeter set into the open pipe.

③ Spot weld positioning of the flange and pipe.

④ Remove the flowmeter, weld the flange as required, and clean all protrusions in the pipe.

Install the sealing gasket with the same diameter as the pipeline in the inner groove of the flange, and install

the flowmeter into the flange. The flow direction of the flowmeter should be the same as the direction of the

fluid, and then tighten the bolts.

2. Installation Notes
① The flowmeter is best installed indoors. If it needs to be installed outdoors, measures should be taken to

avoid direct sunlight and prevent rain.

② The flowmeter should be installed in places with strong magnetic interference, small space and

inconvenient maintenance.

③ The flowmeter should not be installed in places with high temperature, heat radiation from equipment,

or corrosive gas. If installation is required, heat insulation and ventilation measures must be taken.

④ The flowmeter should not be installed on the pipeline with mechanical vibration. If installation is

necessary, shock absorption measures must be taken. A hose transition can be installed, or a fixed pipe

support point and anti-vibration pad should be installed at the 2DN upstream and downstream of the

flowmeter.

⑤ The flowmeter should be removed after the flange and pipe spot welding position, and the flowmeter

 Dandong TOP Electronics Instrument (Group) Co., Ltd

should not be welded with it.

⑥ Vortex flowmeter can measure liquid, gas and steam, but is not common between different media. The

same medium is divided into three specifications: low temperature, high temperature and extra high

temperature, and is not common between different temperatures.

⑦ When measuring liquids, it is important to ensure that the piping is filled with liquid so that the media

flow direction is from the bottom up.

⑧ The flow meter can be installed at any 360 degree vertical direction along the pipe axis. Optimal

installation: low-temperature dielectric rod installed vertically on the ground; high-temperature dielectric

rod installed parallel to the ground.

⑨ The flowmeter should be mounted on a long overhead pipe as far as possible, as the sagging pipe is

likely to cause seal leakage between the flowmeter and the flange. If installation is necessary, pipe

support points must be provided at 2D upstream and downstream of the meter.

⑩ In piping used to measure steam, the instrument connecting rod should be uninsulated at least halfway

through to prevent excessive converter temperatures (as shown in Figure 7-2).

⑪ In order to facilitate observation and wiring, the meter head can be rotated 360 degrees in the original

position, after adjusting the position, tighten the lock nut. To prevent moisture from entering the

housing from the lock nut, the lock nut should be wrapped with waterproof tape to seal it if necessary.

⑫ The shielded cable connected to the flow meter should be routed away from strong electromagnetic

field interference and should never be laid together with the high-voltage cable. The shielded cable

should be as short as possible and not coiled to reduce the distribution inductance, and the maximum

length should not exceed 500 m. The shielded cable should be as short as possible and not coiled to

reduce the distribution inductance.

⑬ When wiring, first unscrew the case back cover and feed the signal wire through the waterproof

connector. Follow the wiring diagram for proper wiring. Tighten the waterproof connector and ensure

that the cable must be bent downward before entering the waterproof connector to ensure that water

does not enter the housing through the cable (as shown below).

3. Requirements for Straight Pipe Sections

In order to ensure accurate measurement, the upstream of the flowmeter must have a sufficiently long

straight pipe section, the upstream flow distribution is as undisturbed as possible, if there is a control and

throttling device is best installed in the downstream. The minimum upstream and downstream requirements

are as follows: upstream: 10DN (10 times the diameter); downstream: 5DN (5 times the diameter).

If there are elbows' shrinkage' expansion' valves, etc. upstream of the flowmeter, a longer straight section of

pipe is required, as shown in Figure 7-4.

 Dandong TOP Electronics Instrument (Group) Co., Ltd

Note: Requirements for piping: The inner diameter of the piping upstream and downstream of the

installation point of the flowmeter shall be the same as the inner diameter of the flowmeter, which shall meet

the requirements of the following formula.

0.98D < DN <1.05D

In the formula: D inside diameter of flowmeter; DN inside diameter of pipeline

The pipeline should be concentric with the flowmeter, coaxial deviation should not be greater than 0.05 DN.
