Electromagnetic flowmeter is a kind of induction instrument to measure the volume flow of conductive medium in tubes. It has been used in many fields. It is popular for its intuitive display and convenient operation. Here is to introduce the electromagnetic flowmeter according to the use.

According to different working conditions, split electromagnetic flowmeters can be divided into the following types:

Several factors can contribute to the inaccurate measurement of flow by electromagnetic flowmeters. These factors can vary depending on the specific application, installation conditions, and characteristics of the fluid being measured. Here are some common reasons for inaccurate flow measurement with electromagnetic flowmeters:

The electromagnetic flow meter consists of a non-conductive pipe lined with a conductive material, typically made of metal. The meter contains coils or electrodes positioned opposite each other on the pipe’s inner walls. A magnetic field is then generated by passing a current through these coils, creating a measurable voltage across the fluid. The induced voltage, or EMF, is directly proportional to the fluid’s velocity, allowing the flow meter to accurately determine the flow rate. Importantly, this principle remains effective regardless of the fluid’s conductivity, making electromagnetic flow meters suitable for a wide range of applications, including water, wastewater, and various industrial processes.

Another important requirement of the electromagnetic flowmeter: how to accurately select the lining material, the lining material of the electromagnetic flowmeter should be selected according to the erosion, wear and temperature of the measured medium.
