Electromagnetic flowmeter is a commonly used flow measurement instrument that obtains flow values by measuring electromagnetic signals in conductive liquids. However, during use, it is sometimes found that the readings of the electromagnetic flowmeter will retreat unexpectedly, that is, the value of the flow meter will gradually decrease, which causes trouble to users. So, what exactly causes the electromagnetic flowmeter readings to recede?
First of all, we need to understand the working principle of electromagnetic flowmeter. Electromagnetic flowmeters calculate flow by generating a magnetic field along a fluid pipe and measuring changes in the magnetic field caused by the fluid's conductivity. Generally speaking, the readings of electromagnetic flowmeters are relatively stable, but sometimes they may recede. Below we will conduct a detailed analysis of several possible reasons.
First of all, it may be that the reading of the electromagnetic flowmeter recedes due to the presence of impurities or bubbles inside the pipeline. Impurities and bubbles will disrupt the flow state of the fluid and cause uneven distribution of the magnetic field, thereby affecting the measurement accuracy of the electromagnetic flowmeter. The way to solve this problem is to clean the pipes regularly to ensure the purity and smoothness of the fluid. At the same time, a bubble remover can be installed to remove bubbles in the pipeline and ensure fluid continuity.
Secondly, the retreat of the electromagnetic flowmeter may be related to improper installation position. Electromagnetic flowmeters should be installed on smooth pipes and avoid installation on curved, diverging or constricting sections. This is because the uneven flow velocity distribution of the fluid in these areas will cause magnetic field disturbances and affect the accurate readings of the electromagnetic flowmeter. Therefore, a suitable location should be selected during installation and the pipe should be kept stable.
In addition, high temperature environments may also cause the electromagnetic flowmeter readings to recede. Electromagnetic flowmeters usually use electronic components for measurement and signal transmission, and high temperatures can cause the electronic components to age, thus affecting the accuracy and stability of the measurement. Therefore, in high-temperature environments, we can consider taking some measures, such as lowering the operating temperature, enhancing heat dissipation, etc., to reduce the adverse effects of temperature on the electromagnetic flowmeter.
Finally, the reason for the retreat of the electromagnetic flowmeter may be related to the interference of the signal transmission line. The distance between the signal transmission line and the electromagnetic flowmeter is too long, or there are other strong magnetic fields or high-frequency interference sources near the line, which may cause instability in signal transmission, thereby affecting the reading of the electromagnetic flowmeter. Therefore, the impact of interference sources on signals should be minimized during line design and installation, and the transmission distance should be shortened.
To sum up, the regression of electromagnetic flowmeter readings may be caused by many reasons, including pipeline impurities, bubbles, improper installation location, high temperature environment and signal transmission line interference. In order to solve this problem, we can take some corresponding measures, such as cleaning the pipeline, adjusting the installation position, reducing the operating temperature, preventing interference, etc., thereby improving the measurement accuracy and stability of the electromagnetic flowmeter and ensuring its normal operation.
