Key elements for the safe use of mass flow meters

2020-08-17View Original

Thread Content

Since mass flow meters are generally simple to use, as long as they are installed correctly, they can be put into operation after simple calibration. In daily use, it is only necessary to adjust the instrument’s zero point periodically; almost no maintenance is required, but care should still be taken when using it. Next, I will explain in detail the elements for its safe use.   1. Mass flow meters have high accuracy, but they are also expensive; therefore, careful maintenance is required, such as using a high-quality regulated power supply and regularly checking for vibrations and operating conditions on site, in order to maintain accuracy and ensure the safety of the instrument.   2. The success of flowmeter applications is directly related to its installation. In addition to the normal installation requirements, special attention should be paid to reducing the effects of vibration, as mass flow meters operate on the principle of vibration, and external vibrations can introduce interference. However, minimizing external interference is undoubtedly beneficial for accurate measurement; therefore, efforts should be made to avoid vibrations coming from the pipelines and the surrounding environment.   3. During operation, it is necessary to perform accurate zero calibration under the applicable conditions. Mass flow meters are high-precision measuring instruments used online, and drift in the zero point can affect the measurement results; therefore, regular calibration is essential when using them over extended periods of time.   4. It is essential to avoid exceeding the operating range of the instrument, as this will reduce its measurement accuracy and, in severe cases, may cause damage to the instrument. For example, operations such as steam purging that exceed the operating temperature range of the instrument can damage the detection coil, rendering the instrument unusable.   After learning about the key safety considerations for using mass flow meters, it is believed that everyone has gained further knowledge and understanding.
