Why does indicated flow not agree with expected readings on Max P Series?

  kimberly03Jul 30, 2025
  Several factors can cause discrepancies between indicated and expected flow readings: * Air in the line: Air bubbles displace the meter, leading to over-reporting. Purge all air from the lines. * Improper calibration: Verify the K-Factor for the meter in use and compare it to the setting used in the display. * Excessive reverse flow: If the system reverse flow is greater than 1 meter revolution, an incorrect flow total can be reported. Max transmitters' anti-dither function buffers up to 1 revolution of reverse flow.

  If fluid passes through the meter but no flow is indicated, check the following: * Transmitter cable or conduit cable wiring: Ensure the wiring is correct. * DC power: Verify DC power is present at the PCA. * Transmitter output: Use a multi-meter to measure the transmitter output independent of the display or PLC. Consider refurbishing the meter.

  Ms. Breanna JohnsonAug 18, 2025
  If there is no flow through the meter or a high pressure drop, it could be due to: * Solidified material blocking rotation: Heat the meter to melt the material, ensuring not to exceed the maximum operating temperature. * Debris damage or internal clogging: Refurbish the meter. * Broken meter: Refurbish the meter.
