Electromagnetic flowmeters are widely used in the measurement of conductive liquid media. Below is a detailed explanation provided by the technical team at Xudong Instrument Factory regarding the issue of negative flow readings during installation or operation.
There are several possible causes for an electromagnetic flowmeter displaying a negative flow value:
- Incorrect Installation Direction: If the sensor is not installed according to the flow direction indicator, it can cause the meter to measure in the opposite direction. Solution: Reinstall the sensor correctly based on the flow direction markings.
- Reversed Signal Wires: Electromagnetic flowmeters typically have both forward and reverse flow measurement capabilities. If the signal wires are connected incorrectly, the meter may display a negative value. Solution: Check and rewire the signal cables to ensure they are properly connected.
- Piping Not Fully Filled: If the pipeline is empty or partially filled with gas, the flowmeter may show a negative or unstable reading. Solution: Ensure the pipe is completely filled with the measured medium to provide accurate measurement conditions.
It's important to regularly check the installation and wiring of the flowmeter to avoid such issues. Proper maintenance and correct setup are essential for reliable performance. If the problem persists, it’s recommended to consult with a professional technician for further troubleshooting and support.
