Vortex flowmeters can also experience failures even when operating stably over a long period of time. The main reasons for this malfunction are as follows: 1. Side panel and electronic component failures. After long periods of use, some electronic components may reach the end of their lifespan or fail, resulting in instrument malfunctions. II. Damage caused by impurities in the medium Over time, the accumulation and deposition of contaminants in the fluid on the inner walls of the measurement tube, as well as on the inner walls of the generator and converter, on the surface of the generator, and on the surfaces of the measuring elements, alter the geometric dimensions of these components. This increases the measurement errors of the instrument, reduces the sensitivity of the measuring elements, decreases the signal amplitude, and ultimately leads to the failure of those elements. III. Damage from lightning Damage to vortex flow meters caused by lightning strikes during thunderstorm seasons is a common issue. Lightning strikes can generate instantaneous high-voltage spike pulses and strong surge currents in power transmission lines, thereby breaking down or destroying the electronic components in converters. This type of lightning strike is mainly caused by power lines and signal lines. IV. Environmental factors Prolonged exposure to corrosive gases and moisture in the environment can lead to a decrease in the insulation resistance of the sensing elements, as well as corrosion of certain electronic components, terminals, and grounding terminals. This increases the contact resistance of the connectors and weakens the transmitted signals. For more information, please visit the company’s official website at http://www.yb1518.com/.
