Propeller current meter

1. Product introduction of propeller flow meter

The propeller flow meter is also called the propeller flow meter. The propeller flow meter is a hydrological testing instrument. It is mainly composed of a propeller flow sensor, a flow meter and a measuring rod. It is specially used for hydrological stations, factories and mines, and environmental monitoring. It was developed for open channel flow velocity and flow measurements in the field by departments such as stations, farmland drainage and irrigation, and hydrogeological surveys. The propeller current meter (portable current meter for short) is a general-purpose instrument for measuring flow velocity in hydrological surveys. It is used to measure the average flow velocity at predetermined measuring points in rivers, lakes, reservoirs, canals and other water-crossing sections.

This flow meter complies with relevant national standards such as GB/T 11826-2019 (rotor flow meter).

This flow meter is widely used in hydrological tests, water conservancy surveys, farmland irrigation, runoff experiments, etc. It can also be used in hydropower, environmental protection, mining, transportation, geology, scientific research institutes, municipal administration and other industries to monitor related flow rates or flows.

The propeller flow meter is mainly composed of the LS1206B propeller flow sensor, flow rate calculator, and 0.4m×4Ф16 measuring rod. The complete set of instruments is placed in a high-grade aluminum alloy password box. By connecting the signal line, the flow rate in each open channel can be measured and the flow rate will be automatically displayed.

The instrument has a simple structure, is lightweight and convenient, consumes less power, has complete functions, has a high degree of automation, is stable and reliable, and complies with the national open channel flow measurement standards. It is equipped with a 60-degree high-temperature propeller. It is a new type of portable flow velocity measuring instrument in China.

3. Measurement principle of propeller flow meter:

This instrument is designed based on the flow velocity area method principle of open channel flow measurement. By measuring the flow velocity, the flow rate can be obtained Q=V·S (S is the cross-sectional area)

1.Flow velocity measurement:

When measuring the flow rate, the propeller-type rotor flow meter is driven by hydraulic power to rotate, and the built-in signal device generates a revolution signal. The flow rate is calculated by the following formula: V=KN/T+C (m/s) (automatic calculation)

V: average flow velocity during the flow measurement period (m/s)

K: Blade hydraulic pitch

C: flow meter constant

T: flow measurement duration (unit: S)

N: Number of signals in T period

When this instrument is used, K and C are constants. When measuring flow, as long as T and N are measured, the flow rate can be calculated.

2. Calculation of flow rate:

Flow measurement is based on the velocity area method of open channel flow measurement. The flow rate is measured first and then multiplied by the cross-sectional area to obtain the flow rate.
