XG-DRB Dilbar flowmeter

The XG-DRB Dearbar uniform flow meter is a new type of plug-in flow meter that uses the differential pressure principle for flow measurement and follows the Bernoulli equation: Q=KxCx root DP. It is currently internationally recognized as the most accurate, repeatable, and reliable flow meter for one-time flow detection. The simple structure, easy assembly and disassembly, low pressure loss, and low cost of use and maintenance make it an energy-saving and economical flowmeter worth promoting and using. Especially in the case of pipelines with a diameter greater than 200 millimeters, the advantages of the averaging tube flowmeter are more obvious. Widely used in industries such as power, metallurgy, and petrochemicals.

Working Principle:
The XG-DRB Dearbar constant velocity flowmeter measures flow through the differential pressure generated before and after its unique sensing probe. When fluid flows through the probe, a high-pressure distribution area is generated at the front, which is slightly higher than the static pressure of the pipeline. According to the Bernoulli equation principle, the velocity of the fluid increases as it flows through the probe, and a low-pressure distribution area is produced at the back of the probe, where the pressure is slightly lower than the static pressure of the pipeline. After the differential pressure fluid flows through the probe, vortices appear on both sides of the probe, and a partial vacuum is generated at the rear of the probe. The average high pressure in the high-pressure area is transferred to the positive pressure chamber of the differential pressure instrument through the probe high-pressure conduit; The average low pressure in the low-pressure area is transmitted to the negative pressure chamber of the differential pressure instrument through the probe low-pressure conduit. The differential pressure instrument measures the difference between the average high pressure and the average low pressure, and after a square root calculation, it reflects the magnitude of the average flow velocity of the fluid. The average flow velocity is proportional to the flow rate and can then be used to calculate the volume flow rate or mass flow rate of the fluid in the pipeline.  

Product Features:
1. Multiple application media and wide measurement range. Suitable for various fluids (gas, liquid, steam), with diameters ranging from 38mm to 15000mm, a maximum pressure of 40MPa, and a maximum temperature of 550 ° C or higher. When required, it can also guarantee ± 0.1%, especially suitable for industrial process control;
2. Simple structure and light weight;
3. Easy to install and disassemble, low cost, and can be installed and maintained online;
4. Low requirements for straight pipe sections. The requirement for the length of the straight pipe section is relatively low compared to the orifice plate, generally about 10 to 25 times the diameter;
5. Low pressure loss and significant energy saving. The unrecoverable pressure loss is 2% to 15% of the signal pressure loss, which is only one tenth of the unrecoverable pressure loss of commonly used orifice flow meters. The annual operating cost is 1/40 to 1/50 of the orifice plate;
6. Constant fluid coefficient (K), stable measurement signal, and small fluctuations;
7. High accuracy and good long-term stability;
8. The probe pressure measurement itself is anti-blocking, and the probe is designed with a single-piece dual-cavity high-strength structure;
9. Friendly human-machine interface, 360-degree rotatable LCD meter head; It can display instantaneous flow rate, cumulative flow rate, bar chart percentage, etc.                                                                         

Main application areas:
1. Measurement of primary and secondary air in power plants
2. Measurement of blast furnace gas;
3. Measurement of ethane, ethylene, natural gas, etc;
4. Measurement of gas, nitrogen, oxygen, etc;  
5. Compressed air measurement:
6. Measurement of saturated steam, high- and low-pressure steam:
7. Measurement of tap water, circulating water, etc.

FAQ Performance Specifications

Q1: What is the principle of a Dilbar flowmeter and what media can it measure?
A: Belonging to the plug-in averaging tube differential pressure flowmeter, based on the Bernoulli principle, the probe collects the average total pressure on the upstream side and the static pressure on the downstream side to obtain differential pressure signals. It is equipped with a differential pressure transmitter and is combined with temperature and pressure compensation to calculate the flow rate. It can measure gases, liquids, and saturated/superheated steam, and is suitable for large-diameter pipelines above DN38, such as flue gas, compressed air, circulating water, and steam.

Q2: What are the reasons for the inaccurate display of Dilba flow rate, such as excessive or insufficient flow?
A: Common 4 points: ① Leakage, accumulation, and blockage of pressure pipelines; ② The transmitter range and square root parameter settings are incorrect, and the DCS range does not match; ③ Insufficient installation of straight pipe sections and incorrect insertion depth of probes; ④ The actual inner diameter of the pipeline does not match the calibration ID of the probe. Prioritize checking the sealing of the pressure pipe and verifying the probe parameters and transmitter configuration.

Q3: Will the Dilbar probe get stuck? How to deal with dusty media?
A: Dilbar itself comes with an anti-blocking pressure hole design, which is not easily blocked during normal continuous operation. However, high dust, viscous, and fibrous media still pose a risk of blockage during long-term shutdowns and frequent starts and stops. Solution: Install an online blowing device and regularly blow back compressed air/steam; Close the high- and low-pressure valves during shutdown, and open the balance valve to protect the pressure pipeline.

Q4: What are the requirements for the installation of Dilba's straight pipe section, and can it be installed online with pressure?
A: Generally, it is required to have a straight pipe section of 10D in the front and 5D in the back (where D represents the inner diameter of the pipeline). Bends, valves, and reducers will disturb the flow field and reduce accuracy. The plug-in structure supports continuous installation under pressure, suitable for large pipeline renovation projects. Ensure that the probe is facing the fluid flow direction during installation. After the pipeline scanning is completed, install the probe to avoid damage to the pressure tapping hole caused by welding slag.
