1. The core problem of inconsistent flow slope and nameplate parameters of a mass flowmeter usually involves calibration errors, changes in medium properties, or mechanical losses, and these three factors need to be prioritized for investigation. 1. The difference between the direction flow slope and the nameplate can be quickly identified through the following three types of issues: • Calibration offset: Check if the last calibration time exceeded the recommended cycle (usually 1-2 years), or if the calibration parameters were accidentally touched during operation. • Changes in physical properties of the medium: Compare the current temperature, density, viscosity of the medium with the design conditions of the equipment to determine if they match. For example, gas expansion caused by high temperatures can significantly affect mass flow rate. • Mechanical damage/blockage: Observe whether there is sediment or wear on the inner wall of the measuring pipe, abnormal vibration or loose pipe support may also interfere with sensor data

2. Special verification method • Air traffic control test: After disconnecting the pipe, start the flow meter. If there is still a flow value, it indicates that the sensor has zero drift and needs to be returned to the factory for adjustment. Third party verification:

Use standard weight method or volume tube testing device to compare the actual flow value with the instrument reading. If the error exceeds 0.5%, mandatory calibration is required. • Data trend analysis: Retrieve historical operating curves, and sudden slope changes may correspond to events such as medium switching and equipment collision.

3. High frequency misoperation reminder - Some brands (such as Emerson and E+H) of secondary instruments need to manually switch between mass flow/volume flow modes, and incorrect parameter settings can directly lead to slope deviation. -The split type flowmeter needs to check the grounding of the signal cable shielding layer, as strong electromagnetic interference may cause a random error of 0.1-5%. -Insufficient front and rear straight pipe sections (should be ≥ 10 times the pipe diameter) during the installation of double flange flow meters will damage the flow field distribution.
