1. What are the types of mass flow meters?

2. What are the optional size specifications for methanol flow meters?

The mainstream size specifications for methanol flow meters cover DN15~DN2000, which needs to be determined based on the type of flow meter, operating flow rate, and pipeline parameters.

1. General size selection interval 1 Small flow scenarios: DN15~DN50, suitable for small diameter conveying scenarios such as sampling pipelines and small filling lines in workshops; 2. Medium flow scenario: DN65~DN300, which is the mainstream fitting size for the methanol main pipeline in the factory area; 3. High flow scenarios: DN350~DN2000, suitable for ultra large caliber working conditions such as dock unloading and long-distance methanol pipelines.

2. Size adaptation limitations for different types of flow meters: (1) Vortex flow meters: suitable for DN15~DN300, measurement accuracy will significantly decrease after exceeding DN300, and can only be used for measuring volume in non-conductive media (such as anhydrous methanol);

; （2） Electromagnetic flowmeter: suitable for DN10~DN2000, but can only be used for measuring industrial methanol containing trace conductive impurities. Anhydrous methanol cannot be used; （3） Coriolis mass flowmeter: suitable for DN10~DN300, with the highest measurement accuracy, mostly used in trade settlement scenarios, and relatively high cost; （4） Rotary flowmeter: only suitable for small flow sampling and measurement of DN15~DN50, mostly used in laboratories or trace conditions.

III. Selection and Use Constraints 1 Flow range constraint: It is necessary to ensure that the actual working flow rate is within the optimal range ratio range of the selec

ted flow meter (usually 10%~100% of the rated flow rate), in order to avoid accuracy failure at low flow rates; 2. Medium adaptation constraints: Anhydrous methanol should avoid electromagnetic flow meters and use instruments such as vortex street and Coriolis mass flow meters that are adapted to non-conductive media. The corresponding size range should be adjusted according to the type of flow meter; 3. Safety installation constraints: Methanol is a flammable chemical medium, and the installation of flow meters should be completed by personnel with chemical pipeline operation qualifications to avoid safety risks caused by medium leakage.

3. What are the standard dimensions before and after installing the flowmeter? Before installing the flowmeter, the required length of the standard straight pipe section upstream and downstream may vary depending on factors such as the flowmeter type and pipeline conditions. For orifice flow meters, the length of the upstream straight pipe section is generally required to be 10 times the pipe diameter, and the downstream is required to be 5 times the pipe diameter. This is to allow the fluid to fully develop into a stable flow state before entering the flowmeter, reducing the impact of flow interference on measurement accuracy. For example, when installing an orifice flowmeter in a pipeline with a diameter of 100 millimeters, the length of the upstream straight pipe section should reach 1000 millimeters and the downstream should be 500 millimeters. Vortex flowmeters typically require an upstream straight pipe length of 15 to 20 times the pipe diameter and a downstream length of 5 to 10 times the pipe diameter. Because vortex flowmeters are commonly used to measure flow by detect
