Magnetic flap level gauge is a common liquid level measuring instrument with high precision and strong stability, playing an important role in industrial production processes.
However, the magnetic flap level gauge may encounter some malfunctions during use, which may affect its normal operation.
This article will describe common faults and their causes of magnetic flap level gauges from different perspectives.
1、 Leakage phenomenon is one of the common faults of magnetic flap level gauges.
The main reasons are as follows: 1. Poor sealing: The sealing element of the liquid level gauge is aging or damaged, leading to leakage; 2. Improper installation: When installing the magnetic flap level gauge, if the installation is not firm or the installation position is incorrect, it may cause liquid leakage.
2、 The magnetic flap cannot flip properly. The flap of the magnetic flap level gauge may not flip properly due to the following reasons: 1. Magnetic flap failure: The magnetic attenuation or elasticity of the magnetic flap fails, making it unable to flip; 2. Insufficient magnetic force: The magnetic source of the magnetic flap level gauge weakens or the magnetic transmission material ages or falls off, causing the magnetic flap to be unable to be attracted enough to flip.
3、 The main reasons for inaccurate readings of magnetic flap level gauges are as follows: 1. Inaccurate scale of magnetic flap level gauges: This problem usually occurs during the manufacturing process, and inaccurate scale can lead to reading errors; 2. Bubble interference: Improper installation of the level gauge, liquid stirring, or bubbles entering the inside of the level gauge may cause inaccurate readings; 3. Electromagnetic interference: External electromagnetic interference may cause inaccurate readings of the magnetic flap level gauge.
4、 Blocking fault refers to the blockage of the magnetic flap or measuring pipeline of the liquid level gauge by solid particles, condensates, and other substances, resulting in the inability to function properly.
The main reasons for blockage faults are: 1. Liquid pollution: The liquid contains a large amount of solid particles or suspended substances, which can accumulate over a long period of time and lead to blockage; 2. Sediment accumulation: Liquids contain substances that are prone to crystallization or sediment formation, and long-term use can lead to pipeline blockage; 3. Environmental factors: Dust and foreign objects from the surrounding environment entering the interior of the liquid level gauge may also cause blockage faults.
The above is a description of common faults and their causes of magnetic flap level gauges.
Corresponding maintenance measures can be taken for these faults, such as replacing seals, repairing magnetic flip plates, cleaning pipelines, etc.
Meanwhile, regular maintenance and inspections are also effective methods for preventing malfunctions.
