1. Differential pressure flow meters are generally not suitable for use below 30% of full range. Why? Differential pressure flow meters are generally not suitable for use below 30% of full range, mainly due to the following two reasons: accuracy cannot be guaranteed: the measurement principle of differential pressure flow meters is based on the proportional relationship between differential pressure and the square of bypass flow. When the flow ratio is below 30%, the nonlinearity of this proportional relationship can lead to a significant decrease in measurement accuracy. In addition, when the flow rate is less than 30% of the full range, the Reynolds number is often lower than the limit Reynolds number. At this time, the flow coefficient α is no longer a constant, but changes with the flow rate, which further exacerbates measurement errors and makes flow measurement inaccurate. The variation of flow coefficient alpha: Reynolds number is an important parameter that describes the flow state of a fluid. When the Reynolds number is below a certain threshold, the flow state of the fluid will change, thereby affecting the stability of flow coefficient alpha. The stability of the flow coefficient α is crucial for ensuring measurement accuracy in differential pressure flow meters. When the flow rate is below 30% of the full range, due to the decrease in Reynolds number, the flow coefficient α will no longer be a constant, resulting in an increase in measurement error magnitude. Therefore, in order to ensure the measurement accuracy and stability of the differential pressure flowmeter, it is generally not recommended to use it below 30% of the full range. If it is indeed necessary to measure at low flow rates, it can be considered to solve the problem by adjusting the orifice plate size or instrument range, or choosing other types of flow meters such as turbine flow meters.

2. How is the differential pressure flowmeter calculated? The calculation of differential pressure flowmeter is based on the throttling principle of fluid flow, using the relationship between the pressure difference and flow rate generated when the fluid flows through the throttling device. The specific calculation method and operation process:

1. Calculation Principle The working principle of differential pressure flowmeter is mainly based on Bernoulli equation, which means that the kinetic energy, potential energy (static pressure energy), and the sum of pressure energy of the fluid remain unchanged during the flow process. When the fluid passes through a throttling device (such as an orifice plate, nozzle, or Venturi tube), due to the sudden decrease in flow area, the residual velocity of the flow will increase, and the static pressure energy will decrease, resulting in a pressure difference (i.e. differential pressure) before and after the throttling device. In addition, attention can be paid to the Yangpai optical quantum multiphase flowmeter and Yangpai resonant flowmeter, which are mainly based on Yangpai optical quantum phase separation measurement technology and Yangpai resonant phase separation measurement technology. The Yangpai optical quantum phase separation measurement mixed phase flow fluid technology is a technique used to study mixed phase flow. Different phase fluids have different attenuation effects on light quanta of different energy levels. By measuring the attenuation degree of light quanta of different energy levels, the phase separ
