Product Features
The measurement is not affected by changes in fluid density, viscosity, temperature, pressure and electrical conductivity
There are no flow-obstructing components inside the measuring tube, no pressure loss, and the requirement for straight pipe sections is relatively low
The sensor can be equipped with a grounding electrode to ensure good grounding of the instrument
It has the function of measuring flow in both forward and reverse directions
The converter adopts a liquid crystal backlit display, which makes reading easy in direct sunlight or in a dark room
The converter can simultaneously display the volumetric flow rate percentage, actual flow rate and cumulative flow rate
The installation on the pipe at a rotation Angle of ≤90° with the standard (type) improves the visibility of the integrated flowmeter
The converter is equipped with functions such as self-diagnostic alarm output, no-load detection alarm output, upper and lower limit alarm output for flow rate, and two-level flow value output
Product Application
The application of electromagnetic flowmeters in multiple industrial fields
The electromagnetic flowmeter operates based on Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. When a conductive liquid moves in a magnetic field to cut the magnetic field lines, it will generate an induced electromotive force in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic field and the flow direction. The flow rate of the fluid can be calculated by measuring the magnitude of this electromotive force. Its unique working principle makes it widely and crucially applied in industrial fields such as petroleum, chemical engineering, metallurgy, light textile, papermaking, environmental protection and food.
1. Water and Environmental Protection
Municipal Water Supply and Drainage: Measures tap water and sewage flow, suitable for pipeline network monitoring and sewage treatment plants.
Water Conservancy Projects: Monitors water flow in rivers and channels to support water resource scheduling.
Environmental Monitoring: Real-time tracking of industrial wastewater discharge to ensure regulatory compliance.
Advantages: No obstructing components, preventing clogging, suitable for liquids containing particles or impurities.
2. Chemical and Petroleum Industries
Corrosive Liquids: Measuring highly corrosive media such as acids, alkalis, and saline solutions (requires lining materials such as PTFE or PFA).
Petrochemical Industry: Monitoring the flow of crude oil, refined oil, or chemical raw materials (must meet explosion-proof requirements).
Advantages: High-pressure and corrosion-resistant, adaptable to complex operating conditions.
3. Food and Pharmaceutical Industry
Hygienic Applications: Suitable for flow measurement of foods such as milk, juice, and beer, as well as pharmaceutical solutions and purified water.
CIP/SIP Cleaning: Supports in-place cleaning and sterilization, compliant with FDA/GMP standards.
Features: Made of 316L stainless steel or PTFE lining, the surface is smooth and easy to clean.
4. Metallurgy and Mining
Slurry Measurement: Monitors slurry and mud flow rates during mineral processing.
Cooling Water Systems: Tracks cooling water circulation in blast furnaces and rolling mills.
Challenges: Handling highly abrasive media, often equipped with wear-resistant linings (such as ceramic or rubber).
5. Energy and Power
Circulating Water Systems: Measure cooling water and boiler feed water flow in power plants.
Heating Network Metering: Monitor hot water flow in heating pipelines.
Requirements: High-temperature resistant design (some models can measure media above 150°C).
