2024 09/02

The type of instrument must meet the requirements of the production process, such as whether it requires the remote transmission or transmission of the indicating value, automatic recording or alarm; Whether the nature and state of the measured medium (such as corrosion strength, temperature, viscosity, dirt, inflammable and explosive, etc.) put forward special requirements for the instrument; The installation environment of the instrument is regulated, such as the ambient temperature, electromagnetic field, and vibration. After overall analysis of these conditions, the correct selection of the instrument type is an important prerequisite for the normal operation of the instrument and to ensure the safety of production. (2) Measuring range of the instrument: the measuring range of the instrument is considered according to the size of the measured pressure and to ensure the life of the instrument, etc., usually the upper limit value of the instrument should be slightly greater than the maximum value of the measured pressure of the process. In order to avoid the failure of the pressure gauge over load, the upper limit value of the instrument should be higher than the maximum pressure value that may occur in the production process. For elastic manometer, when the measured pressure is relatively stable, the measured maximum pressure should be 3/4 of the upper limit value of the manometer; In the case of large pressure fluctuation measurement, the maximum pressure to be measured should be 2/3 of the upper limit value of the pressure gauge. In general, in order to ensure the accuracy of the measurement, the minimum value of the measured pressure should not be less than 1/3 of the full range. (3) The accuracy level of the instrument should be determined according to the maximum error allowed by the production process for the pressure measurement. The selection of the position of the pressure measurement point shall comply with the following provisions: a The measurement point for measuring the pressure of the pipeline shall be set on the straight pipe section with stable flow rate, and shall not be set on the part with eddy current. b The distance between the pressure source component and the adjustment on the pipeline: the upstream side should be greater than 2D; The downstream side should be greater than 5D (D is the inner diameter of the process pipe). c When measuring pressure below 0.1MPa, additional errors caused by liquid columns should be minimized. d The position of the furnace pressure source component should comply with the provisions of the boiler factory, and should be set in the upper part of the combustion chamber flame center. e The pipe resistance between the pressure measuring point of each primary or secondary air duct of the boiler and the burner should be equal. The former shall be installed in the inlet diameter part of the mill, and the latter shall be installed on the air powder mixture pipeline near the coarse powder separator. g The turbine lubricating oil pressure measurement point should be selected at the lower pressure of the end section of the oil pipe. The installation orientation of the pressure measuring point on the horizontal or inclined pipeline shall comply with the following provisions: a. When measuring the gas pressure, the measuring point is on the upper part of the pipeline; B. When measuring liquid pressure, the measuring point is within the range of 45° Angle between the lower half of the pipeline and the horizontal center line of the pipeline; C. When measuring steam pressure, the measuring point is within the range of 45° Angle between the upper and lower half of the pipeline and the horizontal center line of the pipeline. When measuring gas pressure, the source component should be in the upper half of the process pipe
When measuring liquid pressure, the source component should be in the lower half of the process pipe and the horizontal center line of the process pipe at an Angle of 0 to 45 degrees. When measuring steam pressure, the source component should be in the upper and lower half of the process pipe and the horizontal center line of the process pipe at an Angle of 0 ~ 45 degrees. The pressure source component installation precautions: 1. When the pressure source component and the temperature source component are in the same pipe segment, they should be installed on the upstream side of the temperature source component. 2. When measuring the pressure with a medium such as dust or air powder mixture, a pressure taking device with an anti-blocking and/or purge structure should be adopted.

On the horizontal pipeline, the pressure tube should be above the pipeline and should be installed at an acute Angle along the flow beam. 3. The setting of the pressure point must be representative, and the pressure point should be selected in a place that can correctly and timely reflect the actual value of the measured pressure. For example, set in the part of the measured medium flow smoothly, should not be too close to local resistance or other disturbed places. The inner wall of the end face of the pressure tube and the connection of the equipment should be kept flush, and there should be no protruding objects or burrs, so as not to affect the balanced flow of the liquid. 4. The end of the pressure source component should not exceed the inner wall of the process equipment or pipeline. 5. When measuring steam pressure, a condensing tube should be installed to avoid direct contact between high temperature steam and the pressure measuring element. For corrosive or large viscosity, crystallization, precipitation and other media, can be installed isolation tank, tank filled with neutral isolation liquid, in order to prevent corrosion or plug the pressure tube and pressure gauge. 6, the pressure aperture of the wind pressure should be consistent with the outside diameter of the pressure device to prevent blockage. The pressure taking device shall have a plug for purging and a removable pipe joint. A cut-off valve should be installed between the pressure inlet and the pressure gauge for use when inspecting the pressure gauge. The cut-off valve shall be installed near the pressure opening. Where on-site calibration or frequent flushing of the pressure guide is required, the cut-off valve can be used as a three-way valve. 7, the pressure hole and the source parts should be free of burrs. The inner wall of the end face of the pressure tube and the connection of the equipment should be kept flush, and there should be no protruding objects or burrs, so as not to affect the balanced flow of the liquid. 8, when the measured pressure is small, and the pressure gauge and the pressure port are not at the same height, the measurement error caused by the height difference of the liquid column should be corrected. 9. When the measured pressure fluctuates violently and frequently (such as the outlet pressure of the pump and compressor), a buffer or damper should be installed.
