Liquid damping of the stator vibrations at the true mass flow meter 50, a mass flow measuring instrument for non-steady-state two-phase flow
Abstract
The liquid damping system used in the TMFM 50 True Mass Flowmeter for damping the stator vibrations excited by the two-phase mixture is reviewed from performance and theoretical points of view. The results furnished by a computer code elaborated for parameter studies are compared with that obtained in a series of vibrations tests on original components. The TMFM 50, nominal range of measurement 50 kg/s, is suitable for direct measurement of the two-phase mass flow under transient PWR conditions.
