A kind of expanded type volume pipe flow metering implementation method is provided with expansion detector switch S3, and following detection step is arranged between upstream detection switch S 1 and initial detected downstream switch S 2:
1) begins to demarcate the piston left lateral;
2) finish a standard volume operation, piston continues left lateral;
3) hoisting gear starts upward lift block right lateral, piston left lateral;

In the practicality, the version of the particularly little volume volume pipe of volume pipe, main structure is as shown in Figure 1.Volume pipe generally all is the hollow piston structure of band lift valve.Volume pipe shown in Figure 1 adopts the chain hoisting gear, and two relative positions are installed by dragging piece on the chain, and chain is by driven by motor, and its standard volume also is the verified volume section volume of corresponding upstream detection switch S 1 and detected downstream switch S 2.
Other volume pipe adopts hydraulic pressure lift and nitrogen assist system in addition, and its standard volume is the verified volume section volume of corresponding upstream detection switch S 1 and detected downstream switch S 2.
As can be seen, the version of this volume pipe is the same basically.
The flow range of volume pipe is meant the flow interval from the minimum flow to the maximum flow that it guarantees precision.Determining of the maximum flow of volume pipe and minimum flow by analyzing and testing and finish.The analysis aspect has the following aspects in main.
Determining of the maximum flow of volume pipe mainly by following factor decision.
The maximum flow of volume pipe is subject to the maximum movement speed of piston;
According to the 4.3.4.3 joint requirement of API 4.3, the maximal rate of volume pipe piston is 1.5m/s, and this rate request mainly is unlikely to cause damages such as piston and detector switch based on the motion of piston component.
The maximum flow of volume pipe is subject in the verification process piston in the working time of upstream detection switch and detected downstream switch;
This condition is based on following 2 points: during the calibrating flowmeter, need to collect enough flowmeter pulse numbers; The precision of the detector switch of volume pipe and repeatability are limited.
The maximum flow of volume pipe is directly proportional with the orthobaric volume of volume pipe; The orthobaric volume of volume pipe is big more, and corresponding metering cylinder diameter is big more, and under identical flow, the movement velocity of piston is slow more.Orthobaric volume is big more, and piston is long more through the time of upstream detection switch and detected downstream switch.Therefore, the maximum flow of volume pipe is directly proportional with the orthobaric volume of volume pipe.
The maximum flow of volume pipe is relevant with the version of volume pipe;
The lifting version of volume pipe is the main factor of flow of having the greatest impact, and when adopting the hydraulic pressure lift mode, the demarcation stroke of piston can be subjected to bigger resistance, thereby has restricted the travelling speed of piston, has reduced the maximum flow of volume pipe.Other aspects comprise that piston structure, encapsulant and form can influence the maximum flow of volume pipe equally.
The minimum flow of volume pipe is mainly by following factor decision.
The minimum flow of volume pipe is subject to the longest run time of demarcating stroke piston; Substantially be exactly the time to the calibrating of flowmeter single the working time of demarcating stroke piston, and this time can not be oversize.If long can reduction the demarcation efficient, can cause the temperature and pressure variation range to exceed the desired limit value of vertification regulation.
The minimum flow of volume pipe is directly proportional with the sealing property of piston component; In general, the sealing property of piston component is good more, and the minimum flow of volume pipe is more little.The minimum flow of volume pipe is directly proportional with the running resistance of piston; The running resistance of piston is more little, and the pressure surge that its convection cell caused is more little, the operation of piston is steady more, more little to the influence of detector switch, thereby the running resistance of piston is more little, and its minimum flow is more little.
The minimum flow of volume pipe is directly proportional with the orthobaric volume of volume pipe; Volume pipe orthobaric volume little, the working time of demarcating stroke piston is just little, its minimum flow is also accordingly little.
The minimum flow of volume pipe is relevant with employed dielectric property.The good greasy property of medium reduces the running resistance of piston, and the high viscosity of medium can reduce leakage rate, and therefore, the minimum flow of volume pipe is correlated with employed dielectric property.
For the flow range of extended volume pipe, the one, can enlarge its maximum flow, the 2nd, can reduce the minimum flow of volume pipe.Consider to enlarge the feasibility of maximum flow first.From the analysis of front as can be known, at a certain concrete volume pipe, the maximum operational speed of its piston and orthobaric volume have been mapped with the maximum flow of its nominal, and its version determines that also it is impossible obviously increasing the volume pipe maximum flow.Therefore the unique method of extended volume pipe flow range is to reduce minimum flow.
In fact, the minimum flow of volume pipe is the most directly related with its orthobaric volume.When orthobaric volume hour, also reduce synchronously the working time of demarcating stroke piston.The method that we will adopt reduces orthobaric volume exactly.For the convenience of representing, we describe with the volume pipe of top Fig. 1 form.
Specific embodiment is seen shown in Figure 4.Between the upstream detection switch S 1 of volume pipe and detected downstream switch S 2, increase a detector switch S3, also form a less verified volume section between S1 and the S3 accordingly.When forbidding S3 work, volume pipe is equal to nothing and does any change, and the maximum flow of volume pipe does not change more precisely; And when forbidding S2 work, the orthobaric volume of volume pipe just has only the part of primary standard volume, and standard volume reduces greatly, thereby has reached the purpose that reduces the volume pipe minimum flow.
The specific embodiment of volume pipe flow expansion as shown in Figure 3.
The enforcement of volume pipe flow expansion is fairly simple, software, control section and structure to volume pipe do not need to do any change, what unique needs were done is to increase a detector switch on the standard detection assembly of volume pipe, disposes a switching signal switching part again, specific as follows:
One. between volume pipe upstream detection switch S 1 and detected downstream switch S 2, increase detector switch S3;
Two .S3 orientate as, and S3 equals S2 to 1/5th of the distance of S1 to the distance of S1.If making the standard volume between corresponding S1 and the S2 is V
S1, the standard volume between corresponding S1 and the S3 is V
S2, then
Three. increase the selection switching device shifter of a detector switch S2 and S3;
Four. corresponding V

1min1/5th;
Five. the range ratio of general volume pipe is 1000:1, and after the flow expansion, the range ratio of volume pipe has reached 5000:1.
The volume pipe working method is described as follows:
Volume pipe is operated in one of dual mode, promptly makes upstream detection switch, S2 with S1 and makes the orthobaric volume working method of detected downstream switch and make the little orthobaric volume working method that upstream detection switch, S3 are made the detected downstream switch with S1;
S2 and S3 adopt manual or automatic form to switch, and when switching to S2, for the orthobaric volume working method, when switching to S3, are little orthobaric volume working method.
The course of work when adopting the little verified volume section of volume pipe is: when the needs volume pipe is operated in little verified volume section, select S3 to make the detected downstream switch, its course of work as shown in Figure 4.
1) begin to demarcate, piston is (downstream) motion left under the effect of fluid, and lift valve cuts out in the motion process, when the position of piston arrives S1 correspondence, begins to demarcate metering;
2) piston continues operation left, when arriving detected downstream switch S 3, demarcates metering and finishes.
3) piston continues operation left, and the piston hoisting gear starts simultaneously, and the lift block on the hoisting gear moves right, and is opposite with the direction of motion of piston;
4) lift block on the hoisting gear contacts with the piston riser, and piston stops to move left;
5) under the double action of fluid and piston hoisting gear, the lift valve in the piston is opened, whole piston operation to the right under the drive of hoisting gear simultaneously;
6) piston continues operation to the right, and when arriving after top dead center, travel switch S0 moves, and hoisting gear stops, and volume pipe enters next staking-out work process.
