What should I do if the gas flow meter is flooded

2023-12-15
There may be the following reasons for the water flow of the gas flowmeter:

1. Improper installation and maintenance of equipment: gas pipeline connections may leak, seals may age or be damaged, and equipment installation locations may be improperly selected.
2, external environmental factors: such as bad weather, sewage plug damage, etc., may also lead to gas flow meter water.
3, flow control equipment failure: when the gas enters the system through the water inlet, or due to the failure of the flow control equipment and the influx from the water inlet, it will lead to measurement errors, thus affecting the accuracy of the experimental results.

Therefore, in order to prevent the gas flow meter from entering water, it is necessary to correctly install and maintain the equipment, and regularly check maintenance to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

When the gas flow meter is flooded, the following measures can be taken for treatment:

1. Stop the machine immediately and close the intake valve to prevent further water flow into the meter and avoid further damage.
2, immediately drain water from the gas flow meter. Open the drain valve on the gas flow meter to allow water to flow out and prevent water from flowing into the meter and causing short circuit.
3. Clean the gas flowmeter. Remove the gas flow meter, disassemble the parts that can be removed, and clean the equipment with water or alcohol. Do not clean with strong acid or alkali.
4, if the gas flow meter can not be used normally after water needs to be repaired or replaced.

In terms of preventive measures, the following measures can be taken:

1, installed in a position to avoid water: the gas flow meter should be installed in a higher position to avoid water into the equipment.
2, install waterproof measures: you can install protection, waterproof sleeve, etc., outside the equipment to ensure that the equipment is not affected by humid air.
3, regular inspection and maintenance: regularly check the gas flow meter, clean, and replace the damaged parts in time to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
4, quality assurance: the purchase of gas flow timing should choose quality assurance, reputable manufacturers and products. Aister Instrument provides you with the best products and services.
