    Non-real Flow Calibration Technology for Multi-path Ultrasonic Flowmeter With a Small Diameter

    • 摘要: 为了实现超声波流量计在线流量测量,发展一种有效的超声波流量计现场非实流校准技术十分重要.超声波流量计的非实流校准以超声传播时间差的标定和几何尺寸的校准为基础,由于现场校准设备的局限性及简化操作流程的需求,以几何尺寸的校准为基础,通过公式推导分析对流量计量产生影响的参数,并结合实验确定参数对流量计测量数值的影响.以某型DN80多声道流量计的非实流校准过程为例,分析并验证小口径多声道超声流量计的非实流校准技术.在校准过程中,由内径千分尺测量管道内径,并使用流量计所带的传感器组进行超声激励和接收.对所得超声信号使用相关法进行处理,计算声程长度,并对流量计出厂参数进行修正.结果表明:校准后测量误差大幅下降,该方法可以用于小口径多声道超声流量计的校准.

       

      Abstract: Ultrasonic flowmeter is a device that can achieve online flow measurement. It is very important to develop an effective non-real flow calibration technique for ultrasonic flowmeter on the scene. The non-real flow calibration of the ultrasonic flowmeter is based on the calibration of the propagation time difference of ultrasonic wave and the calibration of geometric dimensions. Because of the limitations of local equipment and the need for easy operation, this paper was based on the geometric dimension calibration and tried to find the parameters that can impact on the result of flow measurement. Then, with the help of the experiments, the influence of the parameters on the flowmeter measuring results were confirmed. A process of non-real flow calibration for some DN80-type multipath ultrasonic flowmeter was used as an example to analyze and verify non-real flow calibration techniques for small diameter ultrasonic flowmeters.In the process of calibration, the pipe diameter was measured by the inside diameter micrometer, the sensor array of the flowmeter was used for the excitation and reception of ultrasonic wave, the correlation method was used to process the signals of ultrasonic wave, the ultrasonic path distances were calculated, and the factory parameters were correspondingly modified. Results show that the measurement error is reduced significantly after calibration. Therefore, the proposed method can be used for small diameter multipath ultrasonic flowmeter calibration.
