Solving Flow Meter Leak Issues: A Step-by-Step Guid

Clients encountering leaks with their flow meters are advised to first check for and clean any debris at the interface. If leaks persist, replacing the O-ring usually resolves the issue. Leaks typically occur post-maintenance or troubleshooting during reassembly.

The key to preventing leaks is the O-ring, a simple, cost-effective, and reliable sealing solution that's easy to install. It's provided with flow meters of various principles and is crucial for creating a tight seal during assembly.

➜ Considerations Before Reassembly
Inspecting the O-ring's condition before reassembling the flow meter can prevent potential leaks, emphasizing the importance of material selection in accordance with the operating environment.

Over time, O-rings can lose their sealing capability due to wear, plastic deformation, or chemical attack, especially during reassembly, making it hard to position them correctly back into their grooves, leading to leaks.

Selecting O-rings based on chemical compatibility, temperature, sealing pressure, lubrication needs, hardness, size, and cost is crucial. Materials like FEPM, EPDM, NBR, VITON, and VITON-F offer diverse choices. The right material ensures superior sealing, durability, and longevity, even in harsh environments.
