Turbine flowmeter common troubleshooting methods

 

Phenomenon

Reason

Treatment Measures

No display when fluid is
flowing normally
1. Power cord, fuse, etc. have a break or poor contact. 1. Use an ohm meter to troubleshoot.
2. Poor contact inside the display. 2. Use the replacement “spare version”
method to check.
3. The coil has broken wires. 3. Check the coil for broken wires or
solder joint desoldering.
4. There is a fault inside the sensor circulation channel. 4. Remove the sensor’s foreign matter, and clean or replace the damaged parts.
Flow shows a gradual decline 1. The filter is clogged. 1. Clean the filter.
2. The valve spool on the sensor pipe section is loose and the valve opening is reduced. 2. Judging whether the valve spool is loose or not from whether the valve handwheel adjustment is effective.
3. The sensor impeller is obstructed by debris or the bearing gap enters foreign matter and the resistance increases. 3. Remove the sensor to clear the debris, and recalibrate if necessary.
The fluid does not flow, flow rate display
is not zero
1. Poor grounding of the transmission line shield. 1. Check if it is well-grounded.
2. The pipe vibrates and the impeller shakes with it. 2. Reinforce the pipeline, or install brackets in front and behind the sensor to prevent vibration.
 3. The shut-off valve is not closed tightly. 3. Overhaul or replace the valve.
4. The display instrument’s internal circuit board between or
electronic components deterioration damage.
4. Take the “short-circuit method” or item-by-item inspection to determine the source of interference and find out the point of failure.
A significant difference between the displayed value
and the empirically assessed value
1. Internal failure of the sensor
circulation channel.
1-4. Identify the cause of the failure and
find countermeasures for the specific cause.
2. Insufficient sensor back pressure and cavitation,
which affects impeller rotation.
3. Reasons for pipeline flow.
4. Internal failure of the display.
5. The permanent magnet material element in the
detector is demagnetized by aging.
5. Replace the loss of
magnetic components.
6. The actual flow rate flowing through the sensor
has exceeded the specified range.
6. Replace the appropriate sensor.
