Electromagnetic flowmeters are susceptible to soak failures due to improper installation location, inadequate protection level, or damage to the external sheath.
Electromagnetic flowmeter is a flow control instrument widely used in industrial fields. Due to the influence of environmental moisture and structural factors of the electromagnetic flowmeter, water soaking failure is prone to occur. The main reasons for water failure are as follows:
1. The electromagnetic flowmeter is installed in an improper location, such as the lower part of the water pipe or an area with accumulated water, causing water to enter the inside of the sensor.
2. The electromagnetic flowmeter’s protection level is insufficient and cannot prevent heavy rain and water seepage.
3. The external sheath of the electromagnetic flowmeter is damaged, and water enters the interior from the damaged area, causing water immersion.
2. Solution to electromagnetic flowmeter soaking in water
If the electromagnetic flowmeter is soaked in water, it will cause the instrument to become unstable and needs to be dealt with in time. The following is a solution to the problem of electromagnetic flowmeter soaking in water:
1. Replace components
If the electromagnetic flowmeter is soaked in water, it may cause corrosion and damage to various components and need to be replaced. In particular, the sensor's coils and electrodes may become damaged and need to be replaced.
2. Drying
Disassemble the electromagnetic flowmeter, use a hair dryer or dryer to dry the inside thoroughly, and then reinstall it for testing.
3. Clean the inside
If there are impurities in the water, it will easily cause damage to the electromagnetic flowmeter, and the inside needs to be cleaned.
3. Preventive measures for electromagnetic flowmeters soaked in water
1. Choose a waterproof electromagnetic flowmeter and choose an electromagnetic flowmeter with a waterproof rating.
2. The electromagnetic flowmeter should be placed at a high place. Placing it in a muddy area or a place with a low waterproof level will increase the possibility of being soaked in water.
3. Regularly maintain and inspect the external sheath of the electromagnetic flowmeter to ensure the overall waterproof performance of the electromagnetic flowmeter.
In short, the electromagnetic flowmeter is a very important industrial instrument that requires regular care and maintenance to ensure its stable operation. Once you encounter a water-soaking failure, you should deal with it promptly and take corresponding preventive measures to prevent it from happening again.
