Common Problems and Troubleshooting of Ultrasonic Flow Meters

In the realm of industrial automation, ultrasonic flow meters play an increasingly pivotal role in process control. However, when using them, we may encounter some common problems. Swift troubleshooting these issues becomes indispensable.

Outlined below are several common problems that are frequently asked by our customers. We also offer effective solutions for rectifying them. These encompass instances where ultrasonic flowmeter measurements prove inaccurate, readings lack precision, or significant errors arise. Additionally, instability in readings with drastic fluctuations, anomalies when the control valve is partially closed or flow is reduced, or sudden cessation of flow measurement despite prior functionality are addressed.

It’s worth noting that these challenges may not always stem from inherent flowmeter malfunctions. Factors such as improper installation, inaccurate wiring, incorrect settings, environmental changes, or external interference can equally contribute to operational discrepancies.

We’ve compiled a comprehensive list of the top 12 issues frequently encountered by our customers in their utilization of ultrasonic flow meters. Detailed troubleshooting documentation for each problem can be accessed via download here.
