Custom liquid flow meter one-stop services for industry

How do I troubleshoot a magnetic flow meter?Verify measurement conditions and environment: Check for any environmental factors that could cause a malfunction. Ensure that the magnetic flowmeter operates under normal environmental conditions, including the temperature, pressure, and conductivity of the liquid.Check power supply and connections: Ensure that the magnetic flowmeter is supplied with a normal power supply and check that the power cord is well connected.Check signal wiring: Check the signal wiring to ensure that it is securely connected and not shorted or disconnected.Electrode condition: Check the electrode of the magnetic flowmeter, clean the electrode surface, use appropriate cleaning agent if necessary.Check the condition of the piping: Check the piping for air bubbles, impurities, or buildup of solid particles.Calibrate electrodes: If the magnetic flowmeter allows the user to perform calibration, make sure the electrodes are calibrated correctly.Magnetic field condition: Check that the magnetic field generated by the electromagnet is uniform and normal. Abnormal magnetic fields may result in inaccurate measurements.Clean the Magnetic Flow Meter: Periodically clean the Magnetic Flow Meter, including the electrodes and the magnetic field sensing section. Clean out possible dirt, deposits, or corrosive materials.The process of troubleshooting a magnetic flow meter usually involves following certain steps to determine the root cause of the problem and taking appropriate action.How is traffic monitored?Magnetic flow meters measure fluid flow by utilizing the conductive properties of electrically conductive liquids. The following are the basic principles of magnetic flow meters for measuring the flow of conductive liquids:Establishing a Magnetic Field: Electromagnetic flowmeters accomplish this by generating a stable magnetic field around the measuring pipe, usually by using a spiral or solenoid-shaped coil (solenoid). This magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of liquid flow.Conductive fluids flow through the magnetic field: When conductive liquids (such as water, acids, bases, etc.) flow through the magnetic field, the charged particles in the liquid (usually ions) will be generated under the action of the magnetic field electric potential. The size of this electric potential is proportional to the fluid flow rate.Measurement of induced voltage: Electromagnetic flowmeter electrodes are located in the pipe, measuring the induced voltage generated by the liquid. The magnitude of the induced voltage is directly proportional to the flow rate of the fluid, so the flow rate of the fluid can be determined by measuring the induced voltage.Calibration and Calculation: Because the conductivity of a liquid may be affected by temperature, concentration, and other factors, electromagnetic flowmeters usually need to be calibrated. After calibration, the flow rate of the fluid can be accurately calculated.It is important to note that electromagnetic flowmeters require a high conductivity of the liquid, as sufficient induced voltage can only be generated when sufficient conductive material is present. In addition, particles and air bubbles in the fluid may also affect the accuracy of the measurement, so additional pre-treatment equipment may be required in special cases.

Coriolis Mass Flow MeterA Coriolis meter works on the Coriolis Effect, hence it is named so. Coriolis meters are considered to be true mass meters since they tend to measure the mass rate of flow directly while other flow meter technologies measure volumetric flow.Since mass does not change, no adjustments are needed for varying fluid characteristics. Hence, a Coriolis meter operates in a linear fashion.These types of meters exist in a variety of designs.Components of Coriolis Mass Flow MeterThe most common type of unit includesa U-shaped flow tubea sensor assemblyan electronics unitIn this meter unit, the liquid passes through a U-shaped tube which vibrates in an angular harmonic oscillation. Coriolis forces will then deform the tube and a further vibration component gets added to the already oscillating tube. This added vibration element results in a phase shift or twist in a few parts of the tubes.This resulting phase shift which is directly proportional to the liquid mass flow rate is measured with the help of sensors. This measured information is further transferred to the electronics unit where it gets transformed to a voltage proportional to mass flow rate. A Coriolis meter is shown in the figure below:Principal of OperationThe flow is guided into the U-shaped tube. When an oscillating excitation force is applied to the tube causing it to vibrate, the fluid flowing through the tube will induce a rotation or twist to the tube because of the Coriolis acceleration acting in opposite directions on either side of the applied force.For example, when the tube is moving upward during the first half of a cycle, the fluid flowing into the meter resists being forced up by pushing down on the tube. On the opposite side, the liquid flowing out of the meter resists having its vertical motion decreased by pushing up on the tube.This action causes the tube to twist. When the tube is moving downward during the second half of the vibration cycle, it twists in the opposite direction.This twist results in a phase difference (time lag) between the inlet side and the outlet side and this phase difference is directly affected by the mass passing through the tube.An advantage of Coriolis flow meters is that it measures the mass flow rate directly which eliminates the need to compensate for changing temperature, viscosity, and pressure conditions.Variable Area Flow meter Advantages & Disadvantages  Advantages:U shape design-provides excellent stability and repeatabilityDedicated ASIC with digital closed-loop control(DLC) improves the performance of gas-liquid flow measurementDynamic vibration balance(DVB) technology enhances system stability2-point temp. compensation and process pressure compensationSpecial configurations for diffcult applications (e.g. high temp.)SURE of Variable Area Flow Meters               Measuring TubeSS316L; Hastelloy CAccuracy±0.1%; ±0.2%; ±0.5%;Output4-20mA; PulseComm.RS485; HARTExplosion ProofExdibIICT6GbProtectionIP67Density Measurement AccuracyError: 0.0005g/cm³ (0.5g/m³ )Click here to get quoteCCDCCCDADcCC
