Flowmeter Maintenance

Flowmeters ensure efficient operation by accurately measuring airflow in compressed air systems. However, regular maintenance is required for accurate measurements.

Flowmeters are critical for the efficient operation of compressed air systems. Accurate airflow measurement is essential to ensure system energy efficiency and optimize operating costs. Unmaintained flow meters can result in incorrect airflow readings and system imbalances. This may lead to equipment overloading, reduced production efficiency, and increased costs.

When flowmeters are maintained regularly, accurate measurements are ensured, system efficiency improves, and energy savings are achieved. Additionally, the lifespan of flow meters is extended and sudden failures are prevented. Our expert team performs flow meter maintenance professionally, ensuring your system always operates at peak performance.

Maintenance Process

Regular maintenance, calibration, and inspection are required at specific intervals to ensure the accurate and efficient operation of flow meters. This process preserves the device’s sensitivity and improves measurement accuracy. Here are the main steps involved in flow meter maintenance:

1. Visual Inspection
The outer surface of the flow meter is carefully examined to detect any physical damage, dirt, or blockages. For models with filters, the filter housing is cleaned, and if necessary, new filters and O-rings are installed.

2. Airflow Check
It is tested whether the flow meter measures airflow accurately by connecting it to the computer system. The consistency of measurement values is checked, and the device’s calibration status is evaluated.

3. Electrical Connections and Settings
The device’s electrical connections are reviewed to identify any connection issues. Adjustments are made if needed to ensure full compatibility with the system.

4. Periodic Performance Test
The overall performance of the flow meter is tested to verify accuracy and system integration. Additional adjustments are made if necessary.

5. Delivery to Customer and Overseas Inspection Process
If maintenance and repairs can be completed at our Istanbul central office, the flow meter is delivered to the customer as soon as possible. However, for more extensive calibration or technical inspection needs, the device is sent to the manufacturer’s headquarters in the Netherlands. There, all routine checks, calibration procedures, and detailed tests are conducted. After completing the inspection process, the device is returned to Turkey and delivered to the customer.

Regular maintenance ensures the flow meter’s long service life and precise measurement while helping prevent potential performance losses.

Why is it important?

Flowmeters contribute to the healthy operation of compressed air systems by accurately measuring airflow. Over time, sensor contamination, blockages, or loosened electrical connections may occur in the flow meters. This can cause inaccurate measurements and system imbalances. Regular maintenance ensures accurate measurement, prevents unnecessary energy consumption, and extends the system’s lifespan.

Unmaintained flow meters can lead to quality issues in production processes and high energy costs due to inaccurate measurements. Additionally, measurement errors can damage other components in the system. Periodic maintenance prevents such problems and ensures the efficient operation of flow meters.

Frequently Asked Questions
