Troubleshooting
Erratic non-zero flow rate under
no-flow conditions
Leaking valve or seal
• Check pipeline.
Slug flow
• See Section 11.14.
Plugged flow tube
• Check drive gain and tube frequency.
Purge the flow tubes.
Incorrect sensor orientation
• Sensor orientation must be
appropriate to process fluid. See the
installation manual for your sensor.
Wiring problem
• Check the sensor circuitry. See
Vibration in pipeline at rate close to
sensor tube frequency
• Check environment and remove
source of vibration.
Damping value too low
• Check configuration. See Section 8.4.
Mounting stress on sensor
• Check sensor mounting. Ensure:
- Sensor is not being used to support
pipe.
- Sensor is not being used to correct
pipe misalignment.
- Sensor is not too heavy for pipe.
Sensor cross-talk
• Check environment for sensor with
similar (±0.5 Hz) tube frequency.
Erratic non-zero flow rate when flow
is steady
Slug flow
• See Section 11.14.
Damping value too low
• Check configuration. See Section 8.4.
Plugged flow tube
• Check drive gain and tube frequency.
Purge the flow tubes.
Excessive or erratic drive gain
• See Section 11.19.3
.
Output wiring problem
• Verify wiring between transmitter and
receiving device. See the installation
manual for your transmitter.
Problem with receiving device
• Test with another receiving device.
Wiring problem
• Check the sensor circuitry. See
Inaccurate flow rate or batch total
Bad flow calibration factor
• Verify characterization. See
Inappropriate measurement unit
• Check configuration. See
Bad sensor zero
• Rezero the flowmeter or restore the
factory zero or prior zero. See
Section 10.5.
Bad density calibration factors
• Verify characterization. See
Bad flowmeter grounding
• See Section 11.7.2.
Slug flow
• See Section 11.14.
Wiring problem
• Check the sensor circuitry. See
Table 11-3
