Electromagnetic flow meter, also known as a magmeter, operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction to measure the flow rate of conductive fluids, such as water or other liquids with a certain level of electrical conductivity. Here’s a basic explanation of the principle behind electromagnetic flow meters:

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.
