    What to do if my KRAL Measuring Instruments show no flow rate?

      If your KRAL Measuring Instruments indicate no flow rate, several factors could be at play. It could be due to foreign particles obstructing the liquid or the flowmeter itself—try dismantling and cleaning the flowmeter, or using a commissioning filter. Insufficient inlet pressure could also be the culprit, so try increasing it. Alternatively, the flow rate might be too low; in this case, increase the flow rate, consider using a flowmeter with a suitable size, or implement linearization, while observing the operating instructions of the electronic equipment. Conversely, if the flow rate is too high, reduce the flow or use a flowmeter with a suitable size. Finally, airlocks can cause this issue, so deaerate the system and inspect for leaks.

    Why are my KRAL Measuring Instruments showing unrealistic measured values?
    • D

      Unrealistic readings from your KRAL Measuring Instruments can stem from several causes. If the flow rate is too low, you can increase it, opt for a correctly sized flowmeter, or apply linearization, while observing the operating instructions of the electronic equipment. If the flow rate is too high, reduce it or choose a more appropriate flowmeter size. Airlocks can also lead to inaccurate measurements, so ensure you deaerate the system and check for any leaks.

    How to fix a leaking KRAL OMG-020 Measuring Instruments flowmeter?

      If your KRAL Measuring Instruments flowmeter is leaking, the cause might be a seal issue. It could be that the seal preload is too low, in which case you should preload the screws. Alternatively, the seal might be damaged, requiring you to replace it. Also, verify the chemical resistance of the seal to ensure it's appropriate for the application.

    What to do if KRAL Measuring Instruments flowmeter does not generate a pulse?
    • D
      Dawn DavisAug 27, 2025
      If your KRAL Measuring Instruments flowmeter isn't generating a pulse, first check the pick-up connection and power supply, while observing the operating instructions of the pick up. If the connection is correct, the pick-up itself may be defective, so check its functionality, while observing the operating instructions of the pick up. Another potential cause is a destroyed dry sleeve, which would need to be replaced; contact the manufacturer for this.

    Why is there excessive pressure loss in KRAL Measuring Instruments?
    • D
      Denise HopkinsSep 3, 2025
      Excessive pressure loss in your KRAL Measuring Instruments could be due to the liquid's viscosity being too high. Try increasing the temperature, but be sure to stay within the specified temperature range.
