Rosemount mass flow meter error

2016-09-09View Original

Thread Content

The Rosemount mass flow meter has large errors, with readings fluctuating up and down! Is there any way to fix this? Please help!

It’s not fixed properly. Check if the tube is shaking. How is the levelness?

If everything is fine above, please send over the process instrument parameters and I’ll help you do the calculations.

If everything is fine after the calculation, there’s no other choice but to turn to the manufacturer for a solution.

Check whether the pipeline is vibrating and if there is any electromagnetic interference....

If it is confirmed that the selection and installation are correct, then the focus should shift to examining external factors, such as pipeline vibrations and signal interference as mentioned above. It is also necessary to check the process control, ensure that the medium pressure is stable, that the pipes are fully filled, and that the conditions for measurement are met. Additionally, the service life of the instrument, its maintenance status, and the condition of its circuit board must all be taken into consideration. If there are any graphs available, it is best to analyze them as well

1 Try reducing the instrument sensitivity a bit (if such an option is available). 2 What is the medium used in the process? If a liquid is measured, it may contain an excessive amount of gas. 3 Check whether the wiring from the sensor to the gauge head is loose, and whether there are any poor connections at the joints. 4 Check whether there are still fluctuations in the readings without using a medium

Thank you! These flow meters are used for loading purposes; there is no flow when they’re not in use. The issue is that during loading, sometimes more and sometimes less volume is delivered – 1 ton when more is loaded, and around 600 Kg when less is loaded. The pipes vibrate normally, and the pressure difference between the front and back is also within a reasonable range

Here is the flow meter data sheet for your review

Check whether the pipeline is vibrating, whether the instrument enclosure is grounded, and whether the shielding of the signal wires is properly grounded. I guess selecting the appropriate model in a design institute is not a problem; if the inspections show no issues, then it’s necessary to check whether the pump’s performance is stable. Is it possible for the medium to have two Liu values? In case that doesn’t work, in case there’s a problem, the damping time can be increased a bit, but it is recommended not to use this method.
