Core Parameters and Selection Points
Key Performance Parameters
| Parameter | Typical Value/Range | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Nominal Diameter | DN15 ~ DN600 | Select according to pipe size |
| Accuracy Class | ±0.5% o.r. | Optional ±0.2% high-precision version |
| Medium Temperature | -40°C ~ +180°C | Depends on liner material |
| Nominal Pressure | PN10 ~ PN40 | Higher pressure requires special customization |
| Liner Material | PTFE, PFA, rubber | Select according to medium corrosiveness |
| Electrode Material | 316L, Hastelloy, tantalum, platinum | Select according to medium conductivity and corrosiveness |
Selection Precautions
- Medium Conductivity: Must be ≥ 5 µS/cm; low conductivity requires special treatment.
- Flow Velocity Range: Recommended 1~5 m/s; too low affects accuracy, too high increases wear.
- Installation Direction: Prefer horizontal installation to ensure full pipe; for vertical installation, flow direction should be from bottom to top.
- Grounding Requirements: The sensor must be well grounded to avoid electromagnetic interference.
Installation Steps and Precautions
Pre-installation Preparation
- Confirm that the pipe inner diameter matches the sensor nominal diameter and check the flange standard.
- Clean the pipe inner wall to ensure no welding slag or debris.
- Check the sensor appearance to confirm no damage to electrodes and liner.
Installation Steps
- Slowly insert the sensor into the pipe, ensuring the flow direction arrow matches the medium flow direction.
- Evenly tighten the flange bolts to avoid liner deformation caused by unilateral force.
- Connect the grounding wire, ensuring grounding resistance < 10 Ω.
- After wiring is completed, perform zero calibration (full pipe static state).
- Introduce the medium and check whether the signal output is stable.
Installation Taboos
- Avoid installation at the highest point of the pipe to prevent bubble accumulation.
- Avoid installation at the pump inlet to prevent negative pressure damaging the liner.
- Avoid locations with strong vibration; add support if necessary.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Daily Maintenance
- Regularly check whether the electrodes are contaminated; wipe with a soft cloth dipped in neutral detergent.
- Check the liner for wear or bulging; replace if necessary.
- Calibrate zero point and span every six months.
Common Faults and Solutions
| Fault Symptom | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Large signal fluctuation | Medium contains bubbles or conductivity is unstable | Exhaust air, stabilize medium conductivity |
| No signal output | Electrode scaling, loose wiring | Clean electrodes, check wiring |
| Zero drift | Full pipe not calibrated, poor grounding | Recalibrate, improve grounding |
| Liner damage | Negative pressure, particle wear | Replace liner, add protection |
Summary
Proper selection, standardized installation, and regular maintenance of the Promag P sensor are key to ensuring long-term stable measurement. It is recommended to strictly follow the manual requirements and keep complete documentation for reference.
