Electromagnetic Flow Meter

RBEF Electromagnetic Flow meter(Magmeter) is suitable to measure volumetric flow rate of the conductive liquid and slurry in the closed pipe. e.g. clean water, sewage, various solutions of acid, alkali, salt; slurry, slag, pulp and other liquids such as food-beverage etc. 

 A various type Magnetic Flow meters(Liquid flow meter) can provide as follows:

  •  Standard Electromagnetic flow meters are for most of water and wastewater applications.
  • Wafer Type Ceramic liner Magnetic Flow Meter for Highly resistant Magmeter liner and electrodes that are suitable for most extreme process media, pipe size is from DN25 to DN200.
  • Sanitary Tri -clamp Type Magnetic Flowmeters are designed for the food(milk filling) & beverage and pharmaceutical industries and is available with hygienic and flexible process connections, pipe size is from DN10 to DN150.
  • High frequency Emag flow meter for Slurry and High Percentage of Solids, etc.

Principle


Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction states that an inductive voltage is generated when a conductor moves through a magnetic field. This principle is used as the basis of flow measurement in the RBEF electromagnetic flow meter.  In the electromagnetic flow meter, the flowing fluid corresponds to the moving conductor as described in Farad
ay’s law.

 UE ∞ B * D * v

The induced voltage UE is directly proportional to magnetic field intensity (B), electrode spacing (D) and average fluid velocity (v). Since magnetic field intensity (B) and the electrode spacing (D) are constant values, induced voltage UE is therefore directly proportional to the average flow velocity (v).

Q = (∏ * D2) / 4 * v     therefore    UE ∞ Q

The equation for calculating volumetric flow rate (Q) shows that the induced voltage (UE) is linear and directly proportional to the average velocity (v).  In the  flowmeter transmitter, the induced voltage (UE) from the electrodes is used to calculate volumetric flow rate (Q) based upon the pipe’s internal diameter.

UE = Induced voltage

B = Magnetic field strength

D = Electrode spacing

V = Fluid velocity

Q = Instantaneous volumetric flow rate
