Float level gauge is a common industrial process level measurement instrument, which can be used and measured for various liquid media such as acid and alkali liquids, water, oil, etc. However, in practical use, there may be situations where the measurement of the float level gauge is not accurate. This not only affects the control of the production process, but may also cause safety issues, causing great trouble for many instrument users. So, what is the reason for the inaccurate measurement of the float level gauge?
The float level gauge mainly works using the principles of buoyancy and lever. When the liquid level changes, the float will float up and down, and then be transmitted to the magnetic steel through a lever. The magnetic field strength of the magnetic steel will change, and finally, this change will be converted into an electrical signal output through a reed switch. Therefore, if the measurement of the float level gauge purchased by customer friends is inaccurate, it is likely due to the following reasons:
1、 Installation issues
Improper installation is one of the important reasons for inaccurate measurement of float level gauges. During the installation process, if the float level gauge is not fixed and adjusted as required, it may cause the level gauge to tilt or shake. This will cause the float of the float to be obstructed, unable to accurately reflect changes in liquid level, thereby affecting measurement data.
2、 Media factors
Some characteristics of the tested medium can also affect the measurement of the float level gauge. For example, the density, viscosity, corrosiveness, and other characteristics of the measured liquid can have an impact on the measurement of the float level gauge. If the density, viscosity, or corrosiveness of the measured liquid are too high, it may cause the float to operate inflexibly and even damage the internal parts of the float level gauge, thereby affecting measurement accuracy.
3、 External factors
In addition to installation and media issues, some external factors can also affect the measurement accuracy of the float level gauge. For example, factors such as environmental temperature, pressure, and vibration may have an impact on the operation of a float level gauge. If these factors are not effectively controlled, it will lead to measurement errors.
