About Nitrogen
Nitrogen N2 is usually a colorless and odorless gas. Generally speaking, nitrogen is less dense than air. Nitrogen accounts for 78.08% (volume fraction) of the entire atmosphere and is one of the main components of air.
At standard atmospheric pressure, when nitrogen is cooled to -195.8°C, it becomes a colorless liquid. When cooled to -209.8°C, liquid nitrogen becomes a snow-like solid.
Nitrogen (N2) is an inert gas. It is widely used in a variety of industries, from food packaging to industrial processes, and is also used to energize flammable substances and sterilize them. It is difficult to react with other substances at room temperature, so it is often used to make preservatives.
What is a Nitrogen Flow Meter?
In the field of industrial flow measurement, a nitrogen flow meter is an instrument specifically designed to measure and control the flow of nitrogen in various applications. It is often used in scenarios where accurate nitrogen delivery is critical, such as chemical blanketing or food packaging.
A nitrogen flow meter is an industrial digital flow meter used to measure the flow rate of nitrogen. Typically, nitrogen (N2) can flow in gaseous, liquid form.
If your plant requires nitrogen, installing a nitrogen flow meter will increase your productivity. Nitrogen flow meters can measure and control instantaneous flow, cumulative flow, and more. You can even use a nitrogen flow meter to detect if there is a nitrogen leak.
Benefits of Using a Flow Meter to Measure Nitrogen
Nitrogen flow meters have significant advantages. By preventing overcurrent or underwriting, security is provided, valuable data is provided, and key nitrogen flows are monitored to ensure smooth operation without interruption.
- Save cost
Determine the areas of excessive consumption and implement measures to reduce waste - Process control
Make sure the product quality is consistent and prevent problems caused by air fluctuations. - Leakage detection
Monitoring flow rate helps to identify potential leakage in the nitrogen system, timely repair and prevent gas loss. - Enhance security
Prevent dangerous situations such as overpressure or sudden decline in pressure. - Data analysis
Analyze the nitrogen use mode in detail to determine the trend and optimize the operation of the system. - Inventory management
To better manage nitrogen inventory and prevent unnecessary excess inventory.
Types and Features of Nitrogen Flow Meters
Different types of nitrogen flowmeters use different technologies to measure flow, including vortex flowmeters, rotating vortex flowmeters, differential pressure flow meters, and thermal gas flowmeters.
Sino-Inst offers a variety of traffic meters for nitrogen. If you need any further help or information, please contact us.
Vortex Flow Meter
Vortex flow meter work is based on the principle of Kamen Vortex Street. Can be used for traffic measurement of various industrial gases, liquids and steam.
- The measurement range is wide and the pressure loss is small.
- There are diverse structures, including flanges installation, pairing installation, etc.;
- High measurement accuracy.
- Support integrated and split temperature pressure compensation;
- The measurable media range is wide.
Precession Vortex Flowmeter
The Precession vortex flowmeter is a new type of gas flowmeter. The flow meter is a flow, temperature and pressure detection function, which can automatically compensate the temperature, pressure and compression coefficients.
- Measure natural gas, compressed air and other gases
- Automatic compensation temperature, pressure and compression factor
- LCD display, the head can rotate at 360 °
- 24V, 3.6V battery power supply
- High reliability, high operating accuracy, wide range of flow
Differential Pressure Flow Meter
Differential flow meter is a measurement technology to measure liquid, steam, or gas flow in the pipeline in the pipeline.
- Suitable for various fluids, including gas, liquid and steam;
- Have high accuracy and reliability;
- Simple design, no activity components, convenient manufacturing and installation.
- Compared with other flowmeters, cost performance is high;
- Adapting to high temperature and high -pressure environment, traffic can be measured under bad conditions.
Thermal Mass Flow Meter
Thermal mass flow meter is an instrument that measures gas flow with the principle of heat diffusion. Sino-Inst’s thermal gas quality flow meter has two types: plug-in and direct pipe segmentation type
- No need for temperature and pressure compensation for gas flow measurement.
- The range ratio is wide and can be used for gas leak detection.
- Good shock resistance and long service life.
- Convenient installation and maintenance.
- Digital design.
- Using RS-485 communication or Hart communication can achieve factory automation and integration.
- Optional AC220V, DC24V or AC220V, DC24V dual power supply.
How to Choose the Best Nitrogen Flow Meter?
To choose the best nitrogen flow meter, the following factors should be considered: application requirements (flow range, temperature, pressure), required accuracy, cost, and maintenance requirements.
Whether you need quality flowmeters or volume flowmeters depends on your precise demand for measuring nitrogen flow.
- Application requirements:
Determine the range, temperature and pressure of nitrogen in the process.
- Accuracy requirements:
High accuracy is very important in many applications, especially when a small deviation may have a profound impact.
- Cost and maintenance needs
Different models, brands, and measurement ranges of flowmeters are different. The budget and needs need to be considered comprehensively, and the flowmeter that is easy to maintain and calibrate to reduce the long-term cost.
- Environmental consideration factors
Check whether the instrument can handle the expected work temperature and pressure of nitrogen.
- Material compatibility
Check whether the instrument material is compatible with nitrogen and is not affected by potential pollutants.
- Safety compliance
If you use high-pressure nitrogen, select the instrument that meets relevant safety standards and certification.
Exploring the world of nitrogen flow meters can seem complex, but with the right tools and knowledge, you can harness the power of nitrogen flow meters to drive your efforts to success.
