In the environments of high temperature (>300 °C – 1000 °C), corrosive and even irradiation application, the challenges of providing reliable and accurate flow rate measurement is significant. In comparing with many other existing technologies for normal operation environments, correlated thermal transit-time flow meter show its advantages of resolving the challenges encountered in those harsh conditions. The correlated thermal signals can be detected by two separated thermal sensors (for example, thermocouples) in series alignment along the pipe, and derive the flow rate. It was evaluated to have accurate measurement for small pipe at slow fluid speed. In the higher flow rate and big pipe size application, this technology shows its weakness due to the limitations associated with slow response time of thermal sensor, dimension, and low strength of thermal signal. In this paper, we present a sophisticated layout of thermal transit-time flow meter with numerical simulation and experiments. By numerical results, we observed that the obtained flow in the bypass route is linearly proportional to the main flow over higher range of flows showing that the measured flow is successfully extended to high range and with stable and accurate measurement results.

It is well known that the wetness of steam flow sometimes causes measurement errors of the steam flow meter. However, it is difficult to clarify a particular error quantitatively in actual plants and factories, and thus far, there has been no established method for estimating the error caused by the wetness of steam flow. Therefore, wet steam flow rate measurement experiments were conducted to clarify the measurement error caused by the wetness of steam flow in a plant and a factory. In this study, as the first step, the orifice flow meter was applied because it is the main flow meter in actual plants. Experiments were conducted with the steam flow apparatus by changing the flow rate, pressure and wetness. As a result, the correlation between the measurement error and the flow condition was clarified. Moreover, for the correction of the error, a new correction method was applied and was confirmed to be better than existing methods now being used.
