What Is the Best Flow Meter for Sludge?
Tired of clogged flow sensors? Sludge measurement needs specialized solutions – standard meters fail within months under abrasive conditions. For sludge applications, slurry-optimized electromagnetic flow meters with ceramic liners and carbide electrodes outperform alternatives. They handle 15-60% solids content, resist abrasion (3x longer life than standard mag meters), and maintain ±1% accuracy even with fibrous […]
Why Does A Magnetic Flow Meter Need Grounding?
Your mag meter suddenly shows erratic readings – did you check the grounding? Poor grounding causes 50% of all mag meter failures in the field. Magnetic flow meters require grounding to complete the electrical circuit for accurate measurement. Without proper grounding: 1) Stray voltages distort the weak flow signal (typically 1-10mV), 2) Electrical noise interferes […]
What Is the Measuring Range of Electromagnetic Flow Meter?
Struggling to select the right mag meter size? The secret lies in matching pipe flow rates – not just pipe diameter. Standard electromagnetic flow meters measure 0.3-10 m/s velocity (0.98-32.8 ft/s), with actual flow range determined by pipe size. For a DN100 (4") pipe, this equals 8.5-850 m³/h (50-5000 GPM). Measurement accuracy degrades below 0.3 […]
What Causes Errors in a Magnetic Flow Meter?
Your mag meter was working perfectly yesterday – why is it showing erratic numbers today? Small installation oversights cause 80% of accuracy issues. Magnetic flow meter errors stem from: 1) Improper grounding (50% of failures), 2) Partially filled pipes (air bubbles disrupt readings), 3) Electrode coating (insulating buildup blocks signals), 4) Uncalibrated zero point, 5) […]
How Do I Reset My Electromagnetic Flow Meter?
Did your mag meter suddenly stop giving reliable readings? Before you reset, know this: factory resets erase ALL custom settings. To safely reset an electromagnetic flow meter: Power off, hold both arrow buttons while powering on, wait for "FAC" display (3-5 sec), press Enter to confirm, then re-enter basic parameters (pipe size, units, K-factor). Avoid […]
