A CFD study of the effect of venturi geometry on high pressure wet gas metering
Venturi meter is increasingly being preferred as wet gas flow meter because of its simple construction and ease of operation. It has been found that the performance of venturi in single phase gas is very different from that of water. In this work, with a view to optimise the design, the effects of diameter, diameter ratio and convergent angle on the performance of a venturi meter for wet gas ...

What are the differences between a liquid and gas flow meter?
Introduction Liquid and gas flow meters are essential tools in many industries, from oil and gas to food and beverage production. While both types of flow meters serve the same purpose of measuring the rate of fluid flow, there are several differences between liquid and gas flow meters. In this blog post, we will explore the key differences between these two types of flow meters. Measurement ...

Sub-metering of natural gas-flexible flow measurement delivers improved accuracy and substantial savings
Introduction Unlike oil, natural gas exists in abundance in the United States. Of the natural gas consumed in the United States in 2011,95% was produced domestically. The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects U.S. natural gas production to increase from 23.0 trillion cubic feet in 2011 to 33.1 trillion cubic feet in 2040, a 44% increase. Almost all of this increase in domestic natural ...

Can phytocapping technique reduce methane emission from municipal landfills?
Landfill gases, predominantly methane and carbon dioxide, are produced by the biodegradation of organic wastes. Biodegradation occur, if the water comes in contact with the buried waste. Techniques such as clay capping are used to minimise percolation of water into the landfill, or gas collection system installed to reduce methane emission into the atmosphere. The use of clay cap has proven not ...

Capillary Tube Thermal Mass Flow Meters & Controllers - A User`S Guide - White Paper
Abstract Capillary tube thermal mass flow meters directly measure the mass flow rate of clean gases and gas mixtures in lower flow ranges. A capillary tube thermal mass flow controller adds an integrally mounted flow control valve to the flow body of the mass flow meter and bom monitors the mass flow rate and controls it to be equal to a set-point value selected by the user. This paper ...

Detection of early PFA seals (perfluoroalk-oxyethylene) degradation exposed to process gases inside a reactor chamber
Problem Statement Replacement of PFA seals inside the reactor chamber is performed according scheduled maintenance and life expectancy of the seals. Early degradation of seals goes completely undetected until there is a complete failure of the seal, letting atmospheric contaminants inside the reactor and forcing an unscheduled reactor downtime. IRGAS Applicability The IRGAS Turnkey Gas ...

Sensor design the key advantage in thermal mass flow meter performance
Immersible thermal sensors arc finding growing acceptance in the gas flow measurement field. By using two Platinum Resistance Temperature Detectors (PRTDs) immersed in a stream of flowing gas, modern thermal flow meters can directly measure mass flow, without the need for temperature or pressure compensation. Thermal meters offer very high turndown, accu- racy and repeatability at an economical ...
