Problems with Emerson vortex flowmeters
Thread Content
Our factory has an vortex flow meter, and the medium flowing through the pipeline is water. When it is not in use, the control system shows a flow rate of 3 tons per hour. Is it necessary to remove the meter in order to clean its internal cavity? Where is the zero-point adjustment in the menu? What other aspects need to be considered?
In the case of air traffic control, what is output are interference signals
First, check if it’s a installation issue or caused by vibration; if not, consider reducing the flow rate If it’s caused by vibration, eliminate the vibration?
Your capacity isn’t that large either; 3 m³/h of water is not a small amount. From personal experience, it’s very likely that you have indeed gone through it. Another possible cause is vibration, as vortex flow meters are very sensitive to it. Or an air traffic control failure alarm occurs, and the fault output remains active.
First, remove it for inspection to ensure there are no debris on the vortex sound generator, and then proceed with other tasks
