Gravimetric Method for Calibrating Flow Meter

Abstract:

What the earth obtain the energy annually is ten thousand times of the earth energy consumption at present,but the solar energy has a lower energy density on the earth’s surface .solar energy is the main source of all energy The experimental research was conducted for the heating performance utilizing the solar-assisted heat pump experimental platform. Experimental errors will be caused to flow meter by different measured media and long time usage In order to improve measurement precision and reduce the experimental errors, this test use gravimetric method to calibrate the LZB glass rotor meter and MCE08-787 cumulative flow meter of indoors and outdoors pipes. The paper also presents flow correction coefficient to guarantee both the accuracy and reliability of the experimental results.
