3.6V/DC24V/AC220V Electromagnetic Water Meter Drop Measurement Flow Sensor

Electromagnetic flow meters operate based on a fundamental principle of electromagnetic induction, providing an accurate and reliable method for measuring the flow of conductive fluids. The working principle involves Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. As a conductive fluid flows through a pipe, it cuts across the magnetic field generated by coils or electrodes mounted on the flow meter. According to Faraday’s law, an electromotive force (EMF) is induced in the fluid perpendicular to both the magnetic field and the flow direction. The induced EMF is directly proportional to the flow velocity of the fluid.

In industrial settings, electromagnetic flow meters play a vital role in process control and monitoring. Their ability to provide accurate measurements in challenging conditions, such as high temperatures and abrasive environments, makes them indispensable for industries like water treatment, chemical processing, and wastewater management. The continuous advancements in technology have further enhanced the capabilities of electromagnetic flow meters, making them a trusted and widely adopted solution for precise flow measurement in diverse applications.

Electromagnetic flowmeter has become one of the flow meters for measuring media in chemical enterprises. As long as the liquid has a certain conductivity, the electromagnetic flowmeter can be used to stop the flow measurement.

In industry, a flowmeter is a type of flow measurement instrument, and an electromagnetic flowmeter is also a kind of flow instrument. Generally speaking, the types of electromagnetic flowmeters used in different occasions are also different. The classification of electromagnetic flowmeters varies depending on the method. Generally, they are conventionally classified into three types: integrated electromagnetic flowmeters, split electromagnetic flowmeters, insertable electromagnetic flowmeters, and so on. For different occasions, different types of flowmeters are required. The correct selection of electromagnetic flowmeters is a powerful boost in work efficiency.

Electromagnetic flowmeter is a kind of induction meter to measure the volume flow of conductive medium, which can be used to measure the volume flow of strong corrosive liquid such as strong acid and alkali and uniform liquid-solid two-phase suspended liquid such as mud, pulp, pulp, etc.

Advantages and disadvantages of electromagnetic flowmeter

One key advantage of electromagnetic flow meters is their versatility in handling various fluid types and conditions. Since they rely on the conductivity of the fluid rather than its physical properties, these meters are suitable for a wide range of applications, from clean water to corrosive chemicals. Additionally, they exhibit minimal pressure loss, making them an energy-efficient choice for flow measurement systems.

Electromagnetic flowmeter is composed of two parts: sensor and converter. It is based on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction work, used to measure the conductivity of more than 20μS/cm conductive liquid volume flow, electromagnetic flowmeter is a measurement of conductive medium volume flow induction instrument.

Electromagnetic flowmeters can measure mud. The electromagnetic flowmeter utilizes the principle of Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. It calculates the flow rate by measuring the induced electromotive force generated when a conductive liquid flows in a magnetic field. It has the advantages of high precision, no mechanical wear, and bidirectional measurement. Mud, as a conductive liquid containing a large amount of solid particles, although it has high requirements for measuring equipment, electromagnetic flowmeters, due to their unique measurement principles and superior performance, have become the ideal choice for measuring mud flow.

How to correctly select the installation point of the electromagnetic flowmeter

Electromagnetic flowmeters generally operate normally for a long time without maintenance after installation, and then require maintenance and daily inspection. The electromagnetic flowmeter can not receive the signal or the signal is too weak is a small problem. So there is no surprise, carefully do the following steps can be solved.

After being used for a period of time, electromagnetic flowmeters sometimes experience lining deformation, which can lead to inaccurate measurements or sensor damage. Lining deformation mostly occurs in fluoroplastic linings. The common causes are generally two types:

Electromagnetic flowmeter as a commonly used flow measurement instrument, the choice of its material is also an important factor. Because in the electromagnetic flowmeter, the part in contact with the medium is only the electrode and the inside of the measuring tube, it is necessary to select the correct electrode and lining material according to the characteristics of different media.

The plug-in electromagnetic flowmeter has a wide range of applications, and can be used to measure the volume flow of conductive liquid and slurry in closed pipelines in many fields such as petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, paper making, environmental protection, municipal management, water conservancy construction and so on.
