Piston type water meter detection device

An overview,

Liquid flow standard device is widely used in liquid flow meter experiment and verification device, especially for flowmeter production enterprises, there are a lot of instrument verification work and experimental work of product development, a set of efficient and reliable liquid flow standard device is of great significance to their production activities. In industrial application, flow standard device should not only have enough accuracy and reliability, but also have relatively high verification efficiency. Also consider the construction cost of the device, the operating cost, the technical requirements of operators and other factors. Traditional liquid flow standard device is based on quality standard, the more volume of standard device, to generate pump provides traffic flow source, but the flow is fluctuating, flow stability, flow point adjustment is not precise, but with the rapid development of the flow measurement and testing technology, these devices are not well meet the requirements. For liquid flow meter calibration, calibration, inspection, and the growing trend of new type flowmeter production, were designed and manufactured by our company with water as the medium of active piston liquid flow standard device, the standard device design is unique, its basic principle is to a certain time interval piston discharge volume flow of the fluid and the volume flow of test meter. The volume of fluid expelled by the piston is obtained by multiplying the cross-sectional area of the piston cylinder with the displacement of the piston. Driven by servo motor, the disturbance to liquid flow is reduced, which has many advantages, such as stability, reliability, good repeatability, high degree of automation and simple operation. It avoids the start-stop effect or commutator effect point existing in the traditional liquid flow standard device, and is conducive to improving the measurement uncertainty level. The device also has the characteristics of self-contained, compact structure, high efficiency and energy saving, no need to build a pool, no need to put forward special structural requirements of the building, very suitable for the production testing and product development testing of small flow meters.

Industrial computer has strong anti-interference, which makes the verification process more stable and reliable. PLC and servo motor adopt international famous brand with high precision and high reliability. Control and data processing software are written in accordance with relevant national verification regulations.

(1) grating ruler

The standard cumulative flow of an active piston fluid flow standard device is the product of the piston's internal cross-sectional area and piston displacement within a time period. Therefore, accurate measurement of piston displacement is one of the key factors to reduce the uncertainty of the device. In order to improve the accuracy of displacement measurement, grating ruler is used to measure the displacement of piston. The output signal of the grating ruler is AB orthogonal signal, which is 4 times higher than the original accuracy.
