Chapter 7 Troubleshooting

7.3. Causes of abnormal measured values and treatment methods

Status

Reason

Handle

The measured value

shows a negative value

display

The link between the host

and the sensor (upstream

and downstream sensors)

is reversed.

Make the correct

connection.

The actual flow is reverse.

The measured value

drifts abnormally when

the flow rate is constant

The straight pipe is not

long enough.

Move to a position where

the length can be ensured

(upstream 10D,

downstream 5D).

There are pumps, valves,

etc. nearby that cause fluid

flow turbulence.

Keep the installation

distance above 30D.

There is actually a

pulsation.

Through the damping

setting, increase the

corresponding time.

Ultrasonic waves cannot

propagate into the

pipeline, and the

measured value remains

unchanged.

1. Improper setting

After confirming the reason,

temporarily remove the

sensor, clean the

installation part and apply

couplant, and finally install

the sensor in a place slightly

staggered from the previous

part.

*The pipe specification is

wrong.
*A sensor is installed at the

welding part.
*The sensor size is wrong.
*Insufficient application of
