RBEF Ceramic Lined Magnetic Flow Meter

Ceramic lined magnetic flow meter for abrasive slurry

The RBEF Ceramic Electromagnetic flow meter(Flange and Wafer type ) have ceramic liners in place of the typical elastomer liners commonly used in magnetic flow meters. Ceramic liners can tolerate higher temperatures and pressures than most other liner materials. Other liners can also release plasticisers and drying agents into the product in a process referred to as leaching. The electromagnetic flowmeter (EMF) with a high-tech ceramic measuring tube for very aggressive and abrasive fluids.

The ceramic measuring tubes feature an outstanding combination of material properties including surface hardness and quality, mechanical stability and resistance to corrosion and temperature change. Benefits for the operator include ultimate accuracy and long-term stability as well as vacuum resistance and diffusion resistance. The versatile profile combined with the high accuracy, these flow meters are used in all sectors of industry.

Extreme durability for harsh slurries. Featuring a high-purity Al2O3 ceramic liner with diamond-like hardness, this meter is designed for high-concentration mining slurries, paper pulp, and corrosive chemicals. It offers superior wear resistance, vacuum stability, and zero measurement drift under high pressure.

The Ceramic Magnetic Flow Meter represents the pinnacle of durability in liquid measurement. Specifically designed for mining slurries, paper pulp, and highly corrosive acids, our ceramic-lined meters offer a hardness comparable to diamond. Unlike traditional PTFE liners that may deform or wear out under high pressure and friction, RB's ceramic sensors provide unparalleled dimensional stability and vacuum resistance for the most challenging industrial environments.

Built for the extreme. The RBEF Ceramic Lined Magnetic Flow Meter is engineered for applications where PTFE or rubber liners fail. Featuring a near-diamond hardness ceramic liner, it offers unparalleled resistance to abrasion from slurries and chemical corrosion from concentrated acids. Its rigid structure provides excellent high-vacuum stability, ensuring accurate measurement in the most demanding mining, chemical, and ceramic production environments.

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 Faraday’s law.

U_E ∞ 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 U_E is therefore directly proportional to the average flow velocity (v).

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

U_E = Induced voltage

B = Magnetic field strength

D = Electrode spacing

V = Fluid velocity

Q = Instantaneous volumetric flow rate
