Flow meter for high vibration pipe
Flow meter for high vibration pipe
(OP)
I would install the flowmeter on the high vibration type,
So I'm not sure which type of flowmeter would suitable for this application

What is causing the vibration Centrifugal pump, Piston type pump or something else?
Vibration is not good for any flowmeter but if we know more we may be able to suggest a solution.

What fluid, what temperature, what pressure?
How much vibration, at what frequencies?
What accuracy is required?
What have you tried that doesn't work, and why?
RE: Flow meter for high vibration pipe
Temperature of fluid about 30-40*c and the pressure in the pipe is 3-5 bars.
Please advise.

Can you move the flow sensor downstream where there's less vibration?
Can the sensor unit be modified so that the electronics board can be moved just off the vibrating pipe? Perhaps supported by a fixed mount a fraction of an inch outside the maximum vibration zone (plus a bit for safety). Some might point out that the wires from the sensor to the circuit might break, to which I reply: There's got to be wires anyway. The advantage of this is that it might be a lot easier to modify a replacement sensor than to re-engineer the whole system.
Another option, less straightforward, might be to figure out how the board is vibrating and damp it out. Maybe it is a simple flex failure and could be stopped with a dab of glue. Or contact the manufacturer and ask their help.
