Metal tube float flowmeterDue to its high temperature resistance, high pressure, strong corrosiveness, high precision, and strong stability, it is widely used in the industrial field, especially for flow measurement under complex working conditions. The following are application scenarios and specific case studies in the petrochemical industry:
Crude oil and natural gas metering
Scenario: In the process of crude oil extraction, transportation, and refining, it is necessary to accurately measure the flow rate of media such as crude oil and natural gas.
Advantages: The metal tube float flowmeter can withstand high temperatures (such as wellhead temperatures exceeding 150 ℃), high pressures (oil pipeline pressures exceeding 10MPa), and corrosive media such as sulfur and wax, ensuring long-term stable operation.
Case: A certain oil field uses a metal tube float flowmeter made of Hastelloy material to measure the natural gas flow rate at the wellhead. The corrosion resistance is significantly better than that of ordinary flowmeters, and the maintenance cycle is extended to more than 3 years.
Flow control of chemical raw materials and products
Scenario: In chemical production, it is necessary to monitor the flow of corrosive liquids such as acid, alkali, and solvents, such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and sodium hydroxide solutions.
Advantages: The metal tube float flowmeter lined with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or made of titanium material can resist strong acid and alkali corrosion and adapt to low flow rate and low flow rate scenarios (such as laboratory reactor feeding).
Case: A chemical plant uses a titanium flowmeter to measure the flow rate of concentrated nitric acid, avoiding production accidents caused by corrosion and rupture of glass rotor flowmeters.
