Xiamen Hongkong Instrument Engineer will explain to you: Coriolis Mass Flow Meter Application of HK-CMF Mass Flow Meter in Alcohol Concentration Measurement With the continuous development and progress of science and technology, mass flow meter has been widely used in various fields as a high-precision and high-reliability flow measurement instrument. Especially in the measurement of alcohol concentration, mass flow meters play an important role. This article will introduce the application background, measurement principle, advantages and practical application cases of mass flow meters in alcohol concentration measurement.
1. Application background.
Alcohol concentration measurement is an indispensable part of brewing, beverage production, chemical analysis, and more. Traditional methods for measuring alcohol concentration include specific gravity method, refraction method, etc., which are simple but less accurate and susceptible to factors such as temperature. In order to improve the accuracy and reliability of alcohol concentration measurement, people began to explore the use of flow meters for measurement. As a high-precision and high-reliability flow measurement instrument, the mass flow meter has gradually become the preferred equipment for alcohol concentration measurement.
Second, the measurement principle.
A mass flow meter is a flow measuring instrument based on the Coriolis principle. In alcohol concentration measurement, the mass flow meter calculates the concentration of alcohol by measuring the mass of alcohol flowing through it within a certain period of time, combined with the corresponding temperature, pressure and other parameters. Since the mass flow meter directly measures the mass and is not affected by factors such as density and viscosity, it has high measurement accuracy and reliability.
3. Advantages. 1.High accuracy: The measurement accuracy of the mass flow meter can reach 01%, which can meet the needs of high-precision alcohol concentration measurement.
2.High reliability: The mass flow meter adopts a design with no mechanical moving parts, which reduces the possibility of mechanical wear and failure, and improves the reliability and stability of the equipment.
3.Intelligent: Modern mass flow meters usually have intelligent functions, such as automatic calibration, automatic temperature compensation, automatic pressure compensation, etc., which further improve the accuracy and reliability of measurement.
4.Easy to maintain: The mass flow meter has a simple structure, easy to install and disassemble, easy to maintain, and reduces the cost of use.
Fourth, practical application cases.
In order to improve the accuracy and reliability of alcohol concentration measurement, a brewery decided to use a mass flow meter for measurement. After market research and technical evaluation, the HK-CMF series Coriolis mass flow meter produced by Xiamen Hongkong was finally selected, and the installation and application were carried out according to the following steps:
1.Preparation before installation: According to the installation requirements of the mass flow meter, the pipeline is cleaned and dried to ensure that there are no impurities and moisture in the pipeline. At the same time, choose the appropriate installation position and pipe diameter according to the actual needs.
2.Installation and commissioning: Follow the installation instructions of the mass flow meter to install the flow meter correctly, and ensure that it is tightly connected to the pipeline and has no leaks. Then the system is debugged to check whether the signal output of the flowmeter is normal and ensure that it is in good working condition.
3.Parameter setting and optimization: According to the nature of alcohol and the actual measurement needs, the parameters of the mass flow meter are set and optimized, such as temperature, pressure compensation parameters, etc., to improve the accuracy and reliability of the measurement.
4.Data collection and analysis: Through the real-time monitoring of alcohol flow through mass flow meters, relevant data is collected, processed and analyzed, and the alcohol concentration is accurately controlled and optimized. At the same time, combined with the needs of the production process and control system, automatic control and optimal management are realized.
5.Maintenance and maintenance: Regularly inspect and maintain the mass flow meter to keep it in good working condition and service life. At the same time, establish perfect equipment files and maintenance records to improve the management level and reliability of equipment.
Through the implementation of the above steps, the brewery successfully applied the HK-CMF series mass flow meter for the measurement and control of alcohol concentration. Compared with the traditional measurement method, the mass flow meter not only improves the accuracy and reliability of the measurement, but also provides more accurate data support for the production and management of the enterprise. At the same time, it reduces the production cost and management difficulty of the enterprise, and improves the market competitiveness of the enterprise.
