A Study for Removal of Pipe Vibration on Swirlmeter

Abstract:

This paper provides a method to eliminate pipe vibration on swirlmeter. We made an experimental research on a diameter 50 mm swirlmeter to study the influence that pipe vibration on the swirlmeter. Results show that using difference method can eliminate the error caused by pipe vibration by putting two sensors along the same side of the swirlmeters axis and using difference method. The experiment proved the approach using difference method to calculate the measured data feasible.
