Test methods for electromagnetic flowmeters and RS485 communication

Electromagnetic flowmeter selection principle:

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

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.

The performance excellence of electromagnetic flowmeters is further underscored by their low maintenance requirements. The absence of mechanical components in direct contact with the fluid minimizes wear and tear, reducing the need for frequent maintenance interventions. This not only enhances the longevity of the flowmeter but also translates into cost savings for industries where operational efficiency is paramount.

Pipe diameter and pipe vibration

The pipe diameter range of some types of flowmeters is not very wide. Therefore, if it is too large or too small, it will limit the selection of flowmeter varieties. To measure low or high flow rates, a flowmeter pipe diameter different from the pipe diameter size can be selected.

Electromagnetic flowmeters, also known as magmeters or magnetic flowmeters, are widely used for measuring the flow rate of conductive liquids in various industries. Several factors can influence the accuracy of electromagnetic flowmeters. Understanding and addressing these factors are essential to ensure precise and reliable flow measurements. Here are some key factors that can affect the accuracy of electromagnetic flowmeters:

The transducer in the split electromagnetic flowmeter can form a body or separate type with the sensor, the integrated electromagnetic flowmeter is the integrated electromagnetic flowmeter, the split type becomes the split electromagnetic flowmeter, the flowmeter is a two-way measurement system, and the three integrators are installed: the forward total, the reverse total and the difference total

The working principle of electromagnetic flow meter:

An electromagnetic flowmeter is an instrument that can be used to measure the volume flow of various conductive liquids in pipes and channels. Its characteristics are as follows:

The wastewater electromagnetic flowmeter is a device with a simple structure and relatively high sensitivity. However, since the accuracy of the wastewater electromagnetic flowmeter has been marked before leaving the factory, it is very likely to be affected by the surrounding environment during the operation process, and problems may occur. So, what should everyone pay attention to during the stage of using the wastewater electromagnetic flowmeter?

Electromagnetic flowmeter in the use process will produce some faults affect the normal work of the instrument, how to find the cause behind the fault is a very important work, we need to identify through a variety of different types of detection methods, in general, we for electromagnetic flowmeter routine testing, usually including electrode contact resistance, electrode polarization voltage, Signal cable interference, the determination of whether there is a grounding potential and the flow of stray current in the pipeline five aspects, these five aspects can be carried out separately, in fact, but also interrelated, any change in the factor may cause other changes, this reminds everyone in the detection of special attention:

According to the composition of the sensor and the converter, the electromagnetic flowmeter can be divided into two types: separation type and one type. The separation type is to set the sensor and the converter independently, and the middle is connected with a cable, so the cable length is limited by the conductivity of the measured current body. One type is the sensor and converter as a whole set, so it is related to the fluid temperature and the ambient temperature, compared with the separation type, the applicable temperature range will be limited.

Electromagnetic flowmeter is a kind of high precision, high reliability and long service life flow surface, which is composed of two parts: the sensor that directly contacts the pipeline medium and the upper end signal converter.

The plug-in electromagnetic flowmeter is an instrument for measuring conductive liquids, which is made based on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. This type of instrument, due to its simple structure, light weight, easy installation and low maintenance, is used to measure the volume flow of non-corrosive (water supply and drainage) conductive liquids in closed pipelines.

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.

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.

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.

Sewage flowmeter is an induction meter used to measure the volume flow of conductive medium in pipes.

The material of construction is also a vital aspect in electromagnetic flowmeter selection. Different applications may require flowmeters made from specific materials to withstand corrosive environments or harsh chemicals. Ensuring that the materials of construction are compatible with the fluid and environmental conditions helps enhance the longevity and reliability of the flowmeter.

Another critical factor to consider is the flow rate range of the application. Electromagnetic flowmeters exhibit excellent accuracy and stability across a broad range of flow rates, making them suitable for both low-flow and high-flow applications. It is essential to match the flowmeter’s specifications, such as its minimum and maximum flow rates, with the expected flow conditions in the system.
