Reasons why the electromagnetic flowmeter shows a negative value

Thread Content

　　Electromagnetic flowmeters have a very wide range of applications. They can be used to measure the volumetric flow rate of liquids, without being affected by parameters such as the liquid’s temperature, pressure, density, or viscosity. As a result, they are widely utilized in various industrial sectors including chemical manufacturing, petroleum and metallurgy, chemical fiber production, and cement manufacturing. Well, if the flow rate displayed by an electromagnetic flowmeter is negative during installation or operation, there could be several reasons for this: 1. The sensor was not installed in accordance with the indicated flow direction, resulting in the measurement being taken in the opposite direction. Solution: Reinstall. 　　2. The sensor signal wires are connected in reverse; since the electromagnetic flowmeter has the capability to measure flow in both directions, it displays the reverse flow rate. 　　Solution: Swap the signal wires. 　　3. The pipeline is empty or not fully filled, with gas present. At this point, the flow meter will display a negative value or the flow rate will fluctuate greatly. 　　Handling method: Fill the pipeline with the medium to be measured to enable the flow meter to function for measurement. 　　The above are the methods for dealing with negative readings on electromagnetic flowmeters.
