Safe use of mass flow meters - focus on microfluidic control technology

Since the mass flow meter is generally simple in application, as long as the installation is correct, it can be put into use after simple commissioning. In daily use, it is only necessary to adjust the zero point of the instrument regularly. There is almost no maintenance in normal use, so you need to pay attention when using it.
1 The success or failure of the flowmeter application is directly related to the installation. In addition to the normal installation requirements, special attention should be paid to reducing the effects of vibration, because the mass flow meter is based on the vibration principle, and the added vibration introduces interference. However, the external interference as small as possible is undoubtedly beneficial for accurate measurement, so the vibration from the pipeline and the on-site environment should be avoided as much as possible.
2 During the use of the instrument, it is necessary to perform accurate zero calibration under the conditions of use. The mass flowmeter is a high-precision measuring instrument used online. The drift of the zero point has an influence on the measurement result. It must be regularly calibrated for long-term use.
3 Be sure to avoid exceeding the scope of the instrument, which will cause the measurement accuracy of the instrument to drop, and in serious cases, the instrument will be damaged. For example, operation such as a steam sweep that exceeds the temperature range of the meter will damage the detection coil and make the meter unusable.
4 mass flowmeters have high precision and high price, which requires careful maintenance. For example, it is equipped with high-quality regulated power supply, and the on-site vibration and use conditions are checked frequently to ensure accuracy and accuracy. The safety of the instrument.
When using mass flow meters, you should prevent human power failure and disconnection. The method of powering off and disassembling the signal line makes the flowmeter not metered for a short time, thus causing measurement disputes, and such problems should be noticed. The solution is to lock the instrument box and manage it.
