Flow meter errors in pulsating flow
Webinar of the EFRC Standardisation Working Group
November 6th, 15:00-16:00 CET
Venue: online webinar
Description
Flow meters are essential components in process installations. Accurate flow measurement is required to ensure stability of process but also for fiscal metering of valuable gas products. In pulsating conditions, flow meters may be significantly disturbed. This leads to inaccurate reading, or even systematic offsets. Unsteady flow may be the consequence of rotating equipment, such as reciprocating compressors, but also due to disturbances in the flow itself. In future applications (for example H2 production, with large turn-down ratios) the disturbing effects may become more severe.
In the webinar the EFRC guideline “Flow meter errors in pulsation flow of reciprocating compressor systems”, released in 2020, will be presented and discussed. This guideline is freely available on the EFRC website: EFRC-Guidelines-Flow-Meter-Errors-in-Pulsating-Flow-of-Reciprocating-Compressor-Systems-December-2020.pdf
The speakers will be:
- Tim Norden (NEUMAN & ESSER, chairman of EFRC Standardisation working group)
- Leonard van Lier (TNO, pulsation and vibration consultant)
- André Eijk (independent consultant, member EFRC Standardisation working group)
The webinar will contain the following parts:
- Introduction to EFRC Standardisation working group
- Fundamentals of pulsating and unsteady flow
- Description of selected flow meter concepts; impact of pulsations on the accuracy.
- Mitigation methods to minimize the effect of pulsations.
- Questions & Answers
With best regards,
Tim Norden, chairman EFRC Standardisation working group
