    Question about what type of flow meter application to use

    First, thanks everyone for your continued input and time with this issue. please forgive me for my delayed responses, I've been having to work on other projects so haven't had the required time to really dig into these issues that are being brought up. I should free up within the next 2 weeks...

    Question about what type of flow meter application to use

    Thanks LittleInch. Im going to look more into how accurate the Diff PT compared to the Vortex flow meter accuracy, to see if the Diff PT can do the job. I'll post my findings. Probably in 2-4 weeks from now. thanks again.

    Question about what type of flow meter application to use

    Thanks everyone. your help/input is much appreciated. georgeverghese: Sorry, I left the thermocouple information out. The thermocouple is to alarm in the DCS incase the pump's maximum operating temperature is exceeded.

    Question about what type of flow meter application to use

    Bimr, do you know of a website or sometype of resource that I can look up the level of accuracy for a diff press trans and a vortex flow meter?

    Question about what type of flow meter application to use

    Thanks bimr. Higher accuracy is desired (please correct me, if the diff press transmitter can perform good enough to get the same results): To reduce inaccurate measurements that can cause the pump to still be repaired from operating below its minimum flow rating. to avoid future problems/...

    Question about what type of flow meter application to use

    Hello, I was wondering what method is more accurate to measure flow given the below application? Im helping with a project that involves measuring flow for feedwater (steam cycle power plant). It’s to measure flow at the discharge of a pump and the flow meter will control a valve on the pump...

    Steam Power Plant- Heater drip pump recirculate to Low Pressure Feedwater heater - increasing flow

    Thanks everyone for the responses. I appreciate the time taken for all the feedback. mk3223: you are correct, the existing 1" recirculation pipe is not providing enough flow for the pump to reach its minimum flow requirement. LittleInch: I attached a sketch for your reference. The...

    Steam Power Plant- Heater drip pump recirculate to Low Pressure Feedwater heater - increasing flow

    Hello, Do you guys know if there are any concerns/issues that I should look into in regard to this: Increasing the amount of water that's being recirculated back to a LP Feedwater heater? This is for an existing heater drip pump (HDP). The existing HDP has a 1" recirculation line tapped from...
