Abstract
<p>The performed analysis of known capillary flowmeters for low gas flows reveals the prospect of constructing the primary measuring transducers of flowmeters with a linear output signal. Owing to the stability of dimensions of the pass-through channels in glass capillaries channels such flowmeters can demonstrate high metrological characteristics. In this regard, we have investigated the capillary as a sensing element in the primary transducers of flowmeters for low gas flows.</p><p>Different circuits of capillary primary transducers for the measuring instruments of low gas flow rate have been examined. Our study makes it possible to select the optimal circuit of a primary measuring transducer based on the measurement range, as well as the number and size of the pass-through channels in capillaries. For example, the flow meter based on a package of capillaries demonstrates a wider measurement range compared to other schemes.</p><p>We have derived analytical dependences that enable the design of single- capillary, package, and bridge transducers. Comparative characteristics of the specified primary measuring transducers are provided. We have constructed algorithms for calculating dimensions of channels in the capillaries of transducers with a linear output signal.</p><p>The influence of temperature and barometric pressure on a deviation in the static characteristic of the transducer has been estimated. It was established that the bridge circuit, unlike others, ensures partial compensation for the influence of external factors.</p>We have designed and investigated a capillary oxygen flowmeter, constructed using the bridge measurement circuit with a linear conversion function, intended for an automated system of the manufacturing process of workpieces for fiber light guides. The upper limit of measurement by the flowmeter is at the level of 54 l/h, its basic relative error is 0.8 %
