Improper selection and installation of split-type intelligent electromagnetic flowmeters can affect the accuracy of the flowmeter’s use and even damage the service life of the instrument. Today, the editor of Aister Instrument, a flowmeter manufacturer, will make the following discussion on the key points to note when installing split-type intelligent electromagnetic flowmeters.

The grounding of the electromagnetic flowmeter is equipped with a grounding ring, and then the grounding ring is connected to the pipeline. If it’s lined, you need a third electrode to ground it.

In order to prevent water resources from being polluted, improve living conditions and protect scarce water resources, most cities have established drinking water projects and sewage treatment plants. In the process of sewage treatment and discharge, the measurement of sewage flowmeter is an important problem. In the process of sewage metering, the selection of sewage flowmeter is very important.

Intelligent electromagnetic flowmeters are mainly used to measure the volume flow of conductive liquid and slurry in closed pipelines, including acid, alkali, salt and other highly corrosive liquids.

Electromagnetic flowmeter is a kind of induction instrument which measures the volume flow of conductive medium in tube according to Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. The electromagnetic flowmeter adds a magnetic field on both sides of the pipeline, and the measured medium flows through the pipeline to cut the magnetic force line, generating an induced potential on the two detection electrodes, and its size is proportional to the speed of fluid movement.

1, the role of the electromagnetic flowmeter grounding ring: the grounding ring is directly in contact with the medium through the grounding electrode, and then the grounding ring is grounded with the flange of the electromagnetic flowmeter to achieve equal potential with the ground to eliminate interference.

Electromagnetic flowmeters are classified according to the assembly method of converters and sensors, with split type and one type. Split type electromagnetic flowmeter is relative to the integrated, its components are: measuring tube, electrode, excitation coil, iron core and yoke housing. Used to measure the volume flow of conductive liquid and slurry in closed pipes.

With the speeding up of urbanization process in our country, environmental pollution is increasingly serious. Because in sewage treatment, it is necessary to analyze and control the discharged sewage, additives, sludge, etc., so the flow measurement is very important. Among the many flowmeter products used for sewage measurement, electromagnetic flowmeter measurement accuracy is higher.

Non-full tube electromagnetic flowmeter is an advanced flow measuring instrument, especially suitable for measuring the flow of non-full tube or partially filled fluid, such as municipal rainwater, wastewater, sewage and so on. The following is a detailed introduction to the non-full tube electromagnetic flowmeter:

During the production and operation of the intelligent split-type sewage electromagnetic flowmeter, various faults may occur. 1. Instrument indication errors caused by faults in the instrument itself, including damage to the structural components or parts of the instrument, etc.

In addition to signal analysis, real-time monitoring is a crucial aspect of fault diagnosis for electromagnetic flow meters. Continuous assessment of key parameters, such as fluid conductivity and temperature, can help detect anomalies that may impact meter accuracy. For instance, sudden changes in conductivity might signal issues like fluid contamination or changes in fluid composition, prompting the need for further investigation.

The measuring accuracy and stability of the electromagnetic flowmeter is directly related to whether the electromagnetic flowmeter housing is grounded.

Selecting the right electromagnetic flowmeter is crucial for accurate and reliable measurement of fluid flow in various industrial applications. One key consideration in the selection process is the type of fluid being measured. Electromagnetic flowmeters are suitable for a wide range of conductive fluids, such as water, acids, and slurries. Their performance can be affected by factors like conductivity and the presence of suspended solids, making it essential to choose a flowmeter that is compatible with the specific fluid characteristics.

The application of flowmeter in food processing is very extensive, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

The shell protection level of the ordinary electromagnetic flowmeter sensor is IP65 (the dustproof and anti-splash level stipulated by GB4208), and the requirements for the installation site are:

The measurement principle of the electromagnetic flowmeter is Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. It is an instrument that measures the flow of conductive fluids based on the induced electromotive force when the conductive fluid passes through an external magnetic field.

Electromagnetic flow meters, like any complex instrumentation, require effective fault diagnosis methods to ensure their optimal performance and reliability. One common approach to diagnosing issues with electromagnetic flow meters involves the analysis of the sensor signals. Any deviation from the expected output can be indicative of potential problems within the system. Advanced diagnostic algorithms can be employed to detect abnormalities in the induced voltage or electromagnetic field, allowing for the identification of faults such as sensor drift, signal noise, or electrode fouling.
