Description of products

Electromagnetic flow meter is a kind of induction

instrument designed by Faraday’s law of
electromagnetic induction to measure flow of conductive
media in the tube. It adopts the technology of insertion
of single chip to realize digital excitation and employs
CAN local fieldbus.

Electromagnetic flow meter can realize local indication

and output electrical current signal of 4-20mA which can
be used to record, adjust and control. Electromagnetic
flow meters are widely used in industrial sectors such as
chemical industry, environmental protection, metallurgy,
pharmaceutical, paper making, water supply and
removal etc.
Besides measuring flow of general conductive liquid
electromagnetic flow meter can measure flow of liquid-
solid mixed fluid, high-viscosity fluid and salt, strong
acid and strong alkali.

Working principle
Electromagnetic flow meter is based on Faraday’s law of
electro-magnetic induction. The measuring tube is a non-
magnetic-conductive alloy short pipe with a inside-liner of
insulated materials.
Along the pipeline the two electrodes perforate the pipe
and are fixed on the measuring pipe.
The head of the electrodes is basically paralleled with inner
surface of the liner. When excitation coils excited by
bidirectional square-wave pulse, a working magnetic field
with magnetic flux density B will generate in the direction
vertical with the measuring pipeline.
At this time if the flux with specific electro-conductivity flows
through the measuring pipe, the line of magnetic force will
induct electromotive force E. Electromotive force E is in
positive proportion to magnetic flux B, product of inside
diameter d and average flow velocity v, electromotive force
E (flow signal) is examined by electrodes and sent through
cable to transducer. After the transducer magnifies flow
signal, the flow rate of flux will be displayed, and capable of
outputting pulse and analog current, used to control and
adjust flow.

In the formula, d is a constant. Because the excitation

Working Principle
current is constant B is also a constant.
We can know from E = KBdV that volume flow Q is in
positive proportion to signal voltage E, that is, signal
voltage E inducted by flow velocity is in linear relation to
volume flow Q.
So if only E is measured ten flow rate Q can be defined.
This is the basic working principle of electromagnetic flow
meter.
From E=KBdV we can know that the temperature of E=KBdV
measured flux, density, pressure, electro-conductivity and
E --- Internal electrode signal voltage (v)
the liquid-solid proportion of the liquid-solid mixed flux will
not affect measurement result. B---- Density of magnetic flux (T)
To moving condition if only it accords with the flow of axial d---- Internal diameter of measuring pipe (m)
symmetry (such as laminar flow) it will not affect the result V --- Average flow velocity (m/s)
of measurement.
Therefore, we say that electromagnetic flow meter is a
genuine volume flow meter.
For manufacturer and users, if only practically calibrated
with average water can volume flow of any other
conductive flux be measured, without any amendment.
This is a prominent merit of electromagnetic flow meter
while any other flow meter doesn’t possess. In the
measuring pipe there’s no moving and choking parts,
therefore there’s nearly no pressure loss, and the reliability
is very high.
