Common faults of vortex flow meters
Vortex flowmeters are suitable for measuring the mass flow and volume flow of superheated steam, saturated steam, compressed air, general gas, water and low corrosive liquids. We often encounter the following failures in the use of vortex flow meters:
1. Vortex flowmeter is not suitable for installation in the case of strong vibration is widely known by users, but in the case of frequent changes in the magnetic field, the vortex flow sensor will measure higher than normal signal output. Practice has proved that in a field without gas flow, when the vortex flow sensor is in a changing magnetic field and the magnetic field changes at the moment, the vortex flow meter sensor will sense an error signal and output it. When the change ends and the magnetic field is stable, the meter will output a normal signal.
2. Coke oven gas has high temperature and high humidity when leaving the factory, so there will be moisture in the gas transmission process. The gas flow drives the water to fluctuate back and forth, thus forming a pulsating flow. When the vortex flow meter sensor is in this fluid state, the output data is large and small. All rights reserved. It cannot reflect the production situation.
3. Because coke oven gas has many impurities and is easy to crystallize, impurities condense in the sensing head, resulting in mismeasurement. When the temperature rises, the impurities volatilize, the sensitivity increases, and the signal is enhanced. On the contrary, it decreases. Thus, the data is unstable.
4. The pressure line is not solid during the instrument wiring process, resulting in intermittent signals during transmission.
5. The grounding wire of the instrument does not meet the requirements of the specification, so that the 50Hz interference in the strong current enters, when the normal signal is higher than 50Hz, the normal signal is output, and the wrong signal will be output when we understand these faults, it is more convenient to solve.
