Research of Intelligent Integrated Averaging Pitot Tube Flowmeter

Abstract:

Averaging Pitot tube flowmeter often uses a separated structure which is not convenient. The research uses a design of integration to overcome the problems and creates an intelligent system to process data. Some improvement methods such as the non-linear correction of meter factor, temperature and pressure compensation are proposed to improve the accuracy of flow rate. In experiments, by comparisons of the results before and after improvements, it comes to a conclusion that the intelligent integrated averaging Pitot tube flowmeter shows a higher performance.
