How to use glass rotameter correctly
Dec 15, 2021
1. After getting the glass rotameter, or when taking over the glass rotameter, first observe whether the glass tube in the glass rotameter is intact, because the glass tube is easily damaged. If it is damaged during transportation, please Communicate directly with the courier and solve the problem with the manufacturer. The second is to remove the fixed objects, because the float of the flowmeter can slide up and down, in order to break the glass tube by sliding during transportation, so generally glass rotameters have fillers or fixed objects inside the glass tube. Pour gently to see if the rotor can slide up and down freely. If you can't slide freely, you must gently vibrate the support plate, so that it can generally slide. If you can't slide anymore, you need to ask professional technicians to disassemble the machine to solve it.
2. When installing on the pipeline, the glass rotor flowmeter is installed vertically. At this time, it is first necessary to see whether the upstream and downstream pipelines are in a straight line. If it is not in a straight line, it will not only affect the measurement accuracy of the meter, but also damage the meter.
3. After the first two points are correct, you can start using it. After installing the flowmeter, the operator should first read the instructions in detail. Then open the valve. When opening the valve, pay attention to the speed and open it slowly. If it is estimated that the flow can float the rotor and the rotor does not move upwards, stop and continue to open the valve at this time, while gently tapping the pipe to make the rotor rise slowly . Many operators opened the valve too violently and just installed a new device. The sudden opening of the valve caused damage to the glass tube in the glass rotameter. This point should be brought to the attention of the operator.
4. Pay attention to safe use: Some users have such a phenomenon. In order to observe the readings of the flowmeter and see the scale of the flowmeter more clearly, the front cover of the flowmeter will be removed. In fact, this is not allowed, because the glass tube Easy to blast, the cover is removed and used, and the cover plays a protective role. Therefore, the cover cannot be removed and used.
5. The glass tube is a fragile product, especially when it expands with heat and shrinks with cold, so be sure to pay attention to the temperature difference, the temperature difference between day and night, etc.
