Especificação do medidor de vazão da suspensão alimentada a peneira vibratória

Abstract

The measurement of flow is a relevant factor in the productive process of the companies, since it allows the exercise of activities of control and measurement of processes and the evaluation of the performance of equipment. Throughout the drilling fluid treatment steps, the cleaning of the same to be returned to the process is of paramount importance from an environmental and economic point of view. The equipments used for such separation consists of vibrating screens, hydrocyclones and decanter centrifuges. The focus of this work was for vibrating screens, more specifically the flow meter that feeds such a sieve. Therefore, the objective of this work was to establish a methodology for the selection and correct sizing of the flow meter, thus, the properties of the worked fluid were presented, and the meters were classified with brief comments about the most common types. With this, it was analyzed all the characteristics of the experimental bench where the prototype of the vibrating sieve is located and consequently where the flow meter is located. Thus, one can complete the best meter to the required specifications.
