 Calculation of Diameter
 
Calculation of liquid
*
Volumetric flowrate of liquid to be measured Qt(l/h)
Put density and maximum flowrate of measured liquid into Formula 1, and calculate the flowrate of water!standard medium; then, find out the corresponding diameter and float number from flowrate table and put the flowrate of water provided by standard float No. into Formula 1 again, accordingly, make out the flowrate of measured liquid; finally, adjust the flowrate into an integer so that to get the scale range of liquid to be measured.
* Mass flowrate of liquid to be measured Qm(kg/h)
Calculation formula of scale range is as follow while calculation method is as above:

Thereinto: Qt ----- Max volumetric flowrate of liquid to be measured( l/h)
  Qm --- Max mass flowrate of liquid to be measaured(kg/h)
  Qs -----flowrate of standard medium water(l/h)
  ρf-------Density of float(kg/m3)
  ρt-------Density of liquid to be measured(kg/m3)
  ρs-------Density of water(kg/m3)
* Example
Some liquid to be measured, its operating density is 850 kg/m3 and max. flowrate is 2400 1/h, please calculate its diameter, float No. and scale range.
Solution: density of float ρf = 7800 kg/m3, density of water ρs = 1000 kg/m3
Put ρt = 850 (kg/m3) and Qt = 2400 (1/h) into Formula 1 to get Qs = 2188.86 1/h
Then, look up the flowrate table and find out: DN25, float No. F26.3, Qs =2500
Put Qs into Formula 1 again to get Qt = 2741.23,
Then adjust it into an integer, get the scale range of this fluid: 270 - 2700 1/h.
Calculation of gas  
Gas is easily affected by temperature and pressure and quite different from liquid. Therefore, at the time of calculating flowrate, we do not only consider the density factor, but also take account of the influences from temperature and pressure, so it is extremely important to provide correct temperature and pressure of gas to be measured under operating condition.
* Standard flowrate of gas to be measured QN(Nm3/h)
* Operating flowrate of gas to be measured Qt(m3/h)
* Mass flowrate of gas to be measured Qm(kg/h)
Thereinto:
QN ----- Max. volumetric flowrate of gas under standard condition(Nm3/h)
Qt------ Max. volumetric flowrate of gas under operating condition (m3/h)
Qm-----Max. mass flowrate of gas in operating condition (kg/h)
Qs ----- Flowrate of standard medium air(m3/h)
ρs ------Density of air under standard condition (kg/m3)
ρst ----- Density of gas under standard condition (kg/m3)
ρt ------ Density of gas under operating condition (kg/m3)
Ps--------Absolute pressure of air under standard condition (0.1MPa)
Pt--------Absolute pressure of gas under operating condition (MPa)
Ts------- Absolute Temp. of air under standard condition (293.15K)
Tt--------Absolute Temp. of gas under operating condition (K)

* Example
Some gas to be measured, oxygen, its average molecular weight: 32; process pressure: 0.4 MPa(gauge pressure), process temperature: 25≧, Max. flowrate: 35 Nm3/h, please calculate its diameter, float No. and scale range.
Solution: ρs = 1.20kg/m3, Ps = 0.1MPa, Ts = 293.15K,
     ρst = 1.331kg/m3, Pt = 0.5MPa, Tt = 298.15K, QN = 35Nm3/h
Put the acquired data into Formula 3 to get Qs = 16.60 m3/h
Look up flowrate table, find out: DN 15, Float No: F16.8, Qs = 18
Put Qs into Formula 3 again, make out QN = 37.96
Then adjust it into an integer and get scale range of measured fluid: 3.8 - 38 Nm3/h
