As a non-contact liquid level measurement tool, ultrasonic liquid level meter is widely used in various industrial scenarios. In order to ensure that its measurement is accurate, stable and safe, the following matters need to be paid attention to when using an ultrasonic liquid level meter.
1. Installation location selection
1. Ensure that the ultrasonic liquid level meter is installed in a stable and flat position to avoid vibration and impact. 2. Make sure there are no obstacles above the measurement point, such as beams, pipes, etc., to avoid affecting the propagation of ultrasonic waves. 3. Choose a location that is close to the liquid surface and not affected by liquid fluctuations for installation to obtain more accurate measurement results.
2. Avoid sources of interference
1. Avoid installing ultrasonic liquid level meters in areas with strong electromagnetic interference, such as near large motors and frequency converters. 2. Stay away from vibration sources, such as pumps, compressors, etc., to reduce interference with measurement results.
3. Regular calibration
1. Calibrate the ultrasonic liquid level meter regularly to ensure its measurement accuracy. 2. Before calibration, it is necessary to confirm that the liquid level gauge is in normal working condition and has no faults or abnormalities.
4. Maintenance and Cleaning
1. Clean the probe and housing of the ultrasonic level meter regularly to maintain good measurement performance. 2. Avoid using corrosive cleaning agents to avoid damage to the equipment.
5. Consideration of temperature effects
1. Pay attention to the operating temperature range of the ultrasonic liquid level meter and avoid using it in high or low temperature environments. 2. If the temperature of the working environment changes greatly, corresponding measures should be considered, such as installing a temperature sensor for compensation.
6. Power supply stability
1. Ensure that the power supply of the ultrasonic liquid level meter is stable and reliable to avoid measurement errors caused by power supply fluctuations. 2. Use a dedicated power cord and avoid sharing it with other devices to reduce interference.
7. Understanding liquid properties
1. Before using the ultrasonic liquid level meter, you need to understand the characteristics of the liquid to be measured, such as density, viscosity, surface tension, etc. 2. For liquids with different characteristics, it may be necessary to select different probes or adjust measurement parameters to obtain the best measurement results.
8. Follow safety regulations
1. When installing, debugging and maintaining ultrasonic liquid level meters, relevant safety regulations should be followed to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment. 2. Avoid using ultrasonic liquid level gauges in flammable, explosive and other dangerous environments. If necessary, appropriate safety measures should be taken.
Through the above precautions, the accuracy, stability and safety of the ultrasonic liquid level meter during use can be ensured, thereby providing users with reliable liquid level measurement data.
