Skyline Flow Controls – Venturi Meter (SFC-FV) The SFC Venturi Tube is a differential pressure flow element that accurately measures the flows of liquids or gases. SFC utilizes fabricated or cast iron venture tube which incorporates an efficient hydraulic shape with static pressure taps at the throat and inlet sections.

APPLICATIONS: The SFC-FV series venturi meter is often used in petrochemical industries, power plant, municipal water supply and wastewater systems due to its longevity and minimal maintenance. The meters are ideal for metering steam, water, sludge, slurries, viscous fluids, and even fluids contains abrasive solids as it can be coated with tungsten carbide.

ADVANTAGES: The SFC-FV series of venturi meters provide accurate flow measurement within ± 0.50% without flow calibration, even for pipes which have Reynolds numbers greater than 75000. When flow calibrated, the accuracy can be within ± 0.25% for accurate flow measurement, with stability linearity within ± 0.2%, on customer requirement.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Flow Reynolds numbers: ≥75000 Flow Rate Turn-down Ratio: 100:1 or higher

Head Loss The permanent pressure loss of the SFC venturi meter is shown in the figure beside. The head loss is only 10% to 30% of the measuring differential pressure, which is lesser than head loss produced by orifice flow meters or nozzle flow meters. For this reason, it is widely used in chemical plants, refineries, and nuclear power plants. Standard built accurate: ± 0.50% Flow Calibration Accurate: ± 0.25% or better

Skyline Flow Controls – Venturi Meter (SFC-FV)





REQUIREMENT FOR STRAIGHT PIPE-RUN

Like most flow meters, straight or unrestricted pipe-run upstream and downstream of the flow element is preferred, and will produce better results and accuracy. By providing adequate straight line piping upstream and downstream of the meter, it can significantly increase accuracy despite the presence of disturbers. General guidance is offered in the table below with all dimensions provided being considered from the apex of the wedge element.

Beta Ratio SFC venturi meters are also available with a wide range of diameter ratios (d/D). This provides users with accurate flow measurement over a broad range of flow rates for a given line size.

Temperature Range SFC can handle process temperatures between -180°C to +800 °C.

Pressure Range/End Connections Flanged end connections are made as per ANSI B16.1 from 150 LB to 2500 LB. A variety of other end connections are also available including: mechanical joint flanges or plain-end designs.

Piping Requirements Designed for full-pipe flow, SFC-FV may be mounted either horizontally or vertically. For recommended upstream pipe run, refer to SFC Engineering Instruction and Technical Manual for the Venturi Meters

Energy Considerations The graph shown beside compares the head loss of the SFC design with that of other primary flow elements. The pressure recovery of the SFC venturi tube results in reduced pumping costs. The SFC venturi has a shorter laying length and exhibits better recovery than typical and other type of flow meters.

Headloss Comparison





Design Concepts The SFC venturi meter is designed to provide a high degree of accuracy and repeatability with unquestionable and predictable performance. Key benefits to this design are as followed: Accuracy: Static inlet and throat pressure sensors provide a highly accurate, stable, and predictable flow measurement signal for flows with Reynolds numbers as low as 75000. Reliability: The SFC venturi meter is free of protrusions and sharp-edged, debris collecting annuli. Static pressure taps reduce flow noise. The internal contour is designed to minimize the buildup of solids and deter erosion, corrosion, and scaling. Energy Savings: SFC venturi meter operate with minimal head loss . This results in less energy consumption, lower operational costs, and a lower cost of ownership. The device performance and metering similitude shall be substantiated through independent testing. Performance data include coefficient value, installation effects, and hydraulic shape head loss.

SFC-VT-FI , Series Insertion Venturi For applications where limited installation space is a concern for typical venturi meter, the SFC-VT-FI series venturi meter is the most optimal choice due to its unique design. In addition, it cost less than the ordinary venturi. The SFC-VT-FI, Insert Type Venturi primary flow element is a full performance, high accuracy and reliability differential producing flow measurement device that is thoroughly substantiated for 2 sigma performance as indicated below. This equip-ment differs from the SFC-VT pressure vessel meter design in that the hydraulic shape is ruggedly constructed on a properly sized center flange that fits within the bolt circle of the mating process piping. Thus the insert (center flange), is captured between the mating pipe flanges and does not need to intrinsically withstand the line pressure in the process piping, resulting in an effective pressure rating of the element matching that of the process piping. This feature permits substantial design and manufacturing cost savings without sacrifice of metering performance. Accuracy, low installed cost. long service life and design flexibility are key characteristics of these primary flow elements. Static Inlet tap and Grouted-In designs are used for larger line size.

SFC-VT-PI Series Insertion Venturi The SFC-VT-PI insert primary flow element consists of a hydraulic shape ruggedly constructed on a properly sized center flange that fits within the bolt circle of the mating process piping. It is all plastic or fiberglass design, utilizing DERAKANE* Epoxy Vinyl Ester Resin. It is non-corrosive, self scouring, dimensionally stable and can be used with line temperatures of up to 180℉ (standard resin) and up to 250℉ (high temperature resin). The high and low pressure connections are 316 stainless steel. The Venturi is supplied with integral neoprene flange gaskets that are ready for installation. This equipment is a very inexpensive alternative for gas flow measurement, where on-site power is unavailable, and lower accuracy is acceptable.

SKYLINE FLOW CONTROLS INC. . The Leader of Accurate and Reliable Flow Measurement








Skyline Flow Controls – Wedge Meter (SFC-WM) The SFC wedge meter is a differential pressure device for use on all fluids. It is especially designed for slurries and liquids with suspended solids. The SFC-WM is also particularly effective on highly viscous fluids. The meter can also detect pipe flow of fluids with Reynold number as low as 500. SFC-WM can also be used for bi-directional flows. Pressure tapping is available in both flanged or screwed configuration. A remote seal connection is also available for DP transmitters.

DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS:

• Rugged and robust design • Low permanent pressure loss • Pipe Size: 1.5 in to 24 in (40mm to 600mm) • Chemical seals available for hazardous applications • Flow measurement of high viscosity liquids • Flow measurement of low Reynolds number fluids • Well suited for slurries applications • Bi-directional flow measurement

ADVANTAGES:

• Proven flow metering technology • Rugged design which can withstand slurries and suspended solids • Flow measurement with NO moving parts • Low maintenance due to anti-wear and erosion preventive design • Energy savings due to permanent low pressure drops
