Symptom
Flow indication is not
linear and output too low
at lower flows
Flow reading accuracy is
outside the specification
Flow indication is fixed at
one value
Possible Cause
Attempting to measure
flows below the specified
minimum for the unit
Liquid is too viscous
Entrapped air or gas
Mechanical sensor
assembly damaged
Liquid has a different
viscosity and / or specific
gravity than water at 20°C
Entrapped air or gas
Mechanical sensor
assembly damaged
The maximum rated flow
for the unit is being
exceeded.
Output circuits may be
damaged
Method of Correction
Use higher flow rates
Best results are obtained
with liquids that have a
viscosity of 10cS or less.
Contact the Omega
Engineering Service

error / offset as explained
in section C6
Remove the entrapped air
(see section C2)
