Which Instruments Require Temperature and Pressure Compensation?

2025-12-19
01 Overview of Temperature and Pressure Compensation

Temperature and pressure compensation refers to a technology where instrument measurement data is automatically corrected using calculation formulas based on on-site temperature and pressure measurements, with the reference standard set at 25℃ and one standard atmospheric pressure. Its core purpose is to convert measurement results obtained under non-standard operating conditions into corresponding values under standard conditions, ensuring that results from different measurement points are on the same scale for easy comparison and statistical analysis.

02 Types of Instruments Requiring Temperature and Pressure Compensation
1. Vortex Flow Meter
  • Application Scenarios: Measuring the flow rate of gases, steam (saturated steam, superheated steam), and liquids
  • Compensation Reason: Fluid density changes with temperature and pressure, affecting measurement accuracy
  • Features: Built-in temperature probe and external pressure transmitter form an integrated temperature-pressure compensation system
  • Applicable Media: Compressed air, steam, etc.
2. Differential Pressure Flow Meter
  • Types: Orifice flow meter, Double D-bar flow meter, Annubar flow meter, etc.
  • Compensation Reason: Measures volume flow under current operating conditions, which needs to be converted to mass flow under standard conditions
3. Gas Turbine Flow Meter
  • Compensation Reason: Gas density is significantly affected by temperature and pressure; direct volume flow measurements require conversion to standard mass flow
4. Flow Totalizer
  • Function: Specialized measurement and totalization system for flow with temperature and pressure compensation
  • Input Signals: Temperature, pressure, flow (current, voltage, pulse)
  • Applications: Flow measurement of superheated steam, saturated steam, and general gases
03 Significance and Advantages of Temperature and Pressure Compensation
1. Improve Measurement Accuracy

Eliminates the impact of density changes caused by temperature and pressure fluctuations on flow measurement.

2. Unify Comparison Benchmarks

Converts all measurement results to standard conditions, facilitating system-wide comparison and statistical analysis.

3. Expand Instrument Turndown Ratio

Intelligent temperature and pressure compensation can achieve a turndown ratio of 1:15, three times higher than that of ordinary instruments.

4. Fault Diagnosis

Equipped with self-diagnostic functions for temperature and pressure faults, enhancing system reliability.

04 Notes
1. Applicable Occasions
  • Occasions with low requirements for temperature and pressure control
  • Measurement of compressed air
  • Internal metering scenarios
2. Limitations
  • High maintenance costs
  • Data must be read from the flow meter's local display
  • Not suitable for applications with suspended pipelines
3. Installation Requirements
  • Temperature and pressure measurement points should be as close as possible to the flow measurement point
  • Ensure synchronization of measurements
