Electro Magnetic Flow Meter
Magnetic flowmeters are used in water treatment plants to measure treated and untreated sewage, process water, water and chemicals. Mining and mineral process industry applications include process water and process
slurry flows and heavy media flows.

According to Faraday's Law, the voltage induced across any conductor as it moves at right angles through a magnetic field is proportional to the velocity of that conductor. With magmeters, the liquid serves as the conductor and the magnetic field is created by energized coils outside the flow tube. Electrodes detect the voltage which is directly proportional to the flow rate.Electromagnetic flow meters can measure corrosive liquids and slurries, and have the ability to measure flow in both directions with equal accuracy. A conducting fluid and a non-conducting pipe liner are required. Magmeters will generally not work with hydrocarbons, distilled water and many non-aqueous solutions. They are also ideal for applications where low pressure drop and low maintenance are required.Selecting a Flow MeterThe basis of good flow meter selection is a clear understanding of the requirements of the particular application. Therefore, time should be invested in fully evaluating the nature of the process fluid and of the overall installation.What is the fluid being measured by the flow meter(s) (air, water, etc…)?Do you require rate measurement and/or totalization from the flow meter?If the liquid is not water, what viscosity is the liquid?Is the fluid clean?Do you require a local display on the flow meter or do you need an electronic signal output?What is the minimum and maximum flow rate for the flow meter?What is the minimum and maximum process pressure?What is the minimum and maximum process temperature?Is the fluid chemically compatible with the flow meter wetted parts?If this is a process application, what is the size of the pipe?
