26、imary device is an axial flow type turbine whose ro tating member is driven by the fluid and essentially all the fluid passes through the rotating member 3 CONSTRUCTION 3.1 General The axial flow type gas turbine meter consists ofthree basic components: (a) the body (b) the measuring mechanism (c) t

27、he output and readout device Schematics of axial flow gas turbine meters are shown in Fig. 1. The flow enters the meter and is directed to the annular passage formed by the inlet nose cone and the interior wall of the body. The fluid enters the rotor and, due to the angle of the blades, imparts a fo

28、rce to rotate the blading. The ideal speed of the rotor is di rectly proportional to the flow rate. The actual rotational speed of the rotor is a function of the passageway size and shape, and the rotor design. It is also dependent upon the load that is imposed on the rotor system due 4 to internal

29、mechanical friction , fluid drags, external loading, and fluid density. 3.2 Body The body and all other parts comprising the fluid-con taining structure of a turbine meter are designed to han dle the pressures and temperatures for which they are rated. Body connections should be designed in accordan

30、ce with ANSI flange standards or appropriate threaded con nection standards. Other accepted standards could be used. Bodies should be constructed of any material suit able for the service conditions to be encountered. All components forming the pressure vessel will be hydrostatically pressure tested

31、 to a minimum of 1.5 X the maximum allowable operating pressure. The dura tion of the test shall be in accordance with ANSI Bl6.5 or other recognized, applicable standards. Bodies should be badged or marked to show the man ufacturers name or trademark, serial number, pressure rating, and maximum cap

34、echanism The measuring mechanism consists of the rotor, rotor shafting, bearings, and the necessary supporting struc ture. There are two general mechanism configurations cat egorized by the way they are installed in the meter body : (a) Top or Side Entry Type- the measuring mech anism is removable,

35、as a unit, through a top or side flange without disturbing the end connections (b) End Entry Type- the measuring mechanism is removable, either as a unit or as separate pieces, through the end connections The measuring mechanism should be permanently identified if it is removable as a unit with the

36、following information: (a) mechanism serial number (b) direction of flow if module mounting is reversible 3.4 Output and Readout Device Turbine meters are available with mechanical drive arid/or electrical pulse outputs. For mechanical drive output meters, the output con sists of shafting, gearing,

37、and other drive components needed to transmit the indicated rotor revolutions out side the body for uncorrected (line) volume registration . Meters should be marked near the output shaft to indi cate the direction of rotation and the nominal uncor rected volume per revolution. The intermediate geari

38、ng should be marked with the basic gear ratio, not includ ing the change gears. If used, change gears should be stamped with the size, and the number of teeth. For electrical pulse output meters, the output includes the pulse detector system and all electrical connections necessary to transmit the i

39、ndicated rotor revolutions out side the body for uncorrected volume registration. Me ters should be marked to indicate the proper electrical connections and the number of pulses per unit of uncor rected volume. The readout devices may be of any form suitable for the application. 4 INSTALLATION 4.1 G

40、eneral The turbine meter is a velocity measuring device. The piping configuration immediately upstream of the meter 6 MEASUREMENT OF GAS FLOW BY TURBINE METERS should be such that the flow profile entering the meter has a uniform distribution and is without jetting or swirl. Since the turbine meter

41、construction is designed to di rect the flow to the annular passage upstream of the ro tor, it effectively tends to average the velocity profile of most normal flow conditions, thus minimizing the influ ence of minor flow distortions on meter performance. Straightening vanes are recommended; however

42、, re gardless of location they will not eliminate the effect of strong jetting. Integral straightening vanes installed in the entrance to a meter and a part of the meter design will eliminate minor swirl conditions. Straightening vanes located in the upstream meter piping in accor dance with piping

43、configurations (para. 4.2) will elimi nate most normal flow swirl conditions. The installation of a throttling device such as a reg ulator or partially closed valve is not recommended in close proximity to the meter. Where such installations are necessary, the throttling device should be placed an a

44、dditional eight nominal pipe diameters upstream or an additional two nominal pipe diameters downstream of the installation configuration in Fig. 2, illustrated in para. 4.2. When used in the configurations illustrated in Figs. 3, 4 , and 5, the additional pipe diameters should be added upstream or d

45、ownstream of the vertical riser. Placement of such a device in closer proximity to the meter may result in accuracy degradation and/or re duced bearing life. 4.2 Installation Configurations 4.2.1 Recommended Installation for In-Line Meters. The recommended installation requires a length of 10 nomina

46、l pipe diameters upstream with straight ening vane outlet located at 5 nominal pipe diameters from meter inlet as shown in Fig. 2. A length of 5 nom inal pipe diameters is recommended downstream of the meter. Both inlet and outlet pipe should be of the same nominal size as the meter. 4.2.2 Optional

47、Installations for In-Line Meters. The use of optional installations may result in some deg radation in meter accuracy. The meter manufacturer should be consulted for performance accuracies that could be expected when using an optional installation configuration. (a) Short Coupled Installation. In th

48、ose instances where the required space for the recommended instal lation of Fig. 2 is not available, a short coupled instal lation may be employed. This configuration utilizes about 4 nominal pipe diameters upstream with straight ening vanes located at the inlet of the piping. A typical installation

49、 is shown in Fig. 3. The distance between the straightening vane outlet and the meter inlet should MEASUREMENT OF GAS FLOW BY TURBINE METERS be a minimum of 2 nominal pipe diameters. The meter should be mounted between vertical risers using a stan dard tee or elbow with the block valves, filters, or strainers mounted on the risers. The maximum pipe re duction to the risers is 1 nominal pipe size. (b) Close Coupled Installation. Close coupled instal lation of a gas turbine meter is shown in Fig. 4. The meter design must incorporate integral straightening vanes upstre
