ELECTROMAGNETIC FLOWMETER

Accurate, Reliable and Stable

Flow Measurement.

Measuring Principle
The measuring principle of the electromagnetic flowmeter (Magmeter) is based upon the Faraday’s Law of
electromagnetic induction; whereby a voltage is induced by an electrical conductor passing through a magnetic field.

The following equation is applicable to the induced voltage: U = kBVD where

U Induced voltage
k Instrument constant
B Magnetic field strength
V Velocity of the conductor
D Conductor width

In electromagnetic flowmeter, the medium acts as the

electrical conductor when flowing through the meter tube,
the induced voltage is proportional to the average flow
velocity (the faster the flow rate, the higher the voltage).
The induced voltage is picked up by a pair of electrodes
(mounted in the meter tube) and transmitted to a flow
transmitter to produce various standardized output
signals.

Using the pipe cross-sectional area, the flow volume is

calculated by the transmitter.

Applications
% iSOLV electromagnetic flowmeter can be used for precise flow measurement of all electrically
conductive liquids - sludges, slurries, sewage, milk, water. The only pre-requisite being that the minimum
conductivity of the medium is greater than 5μS/cm. Temperature, viscosity, density has no
influence on the measurement.

% With isolated inert linings and electrodes, Flow measurement of very corrosive liquids (eg: acids,
accaustics and corrosive chemicals) is not an issue.

% iSOLV electromagnetic flowmeter has many applications across many industries environment.

Grounding the Primary Flow Sensor

Primary flow sensor in metal pipe

1) Measuring ground
2) Grounding wire 10mm2Cu (AWG 7)

Primary flow sensor in plastic pipe or in metal pipe with insulating

coating / lining / painting
1) Measuring ground
2) Grounding wire 10mm2Cu (AWG 7)
3) Grounding rings

5
Primary flow sensor in pipe runs with cathodic protection
Primary flow sensor must be electrically isolated from the pipe. Protective
rings for good grounding are compulsory.
1) Measuring ground
2) Grounding wire 10mm2Cu (AWG 7)
3) Grounding rings
4) Screw bolts (insulated)
5) Connecting wire 10mm2Cu (AWG 7)

Installation
Location and position as required, but electrode axis ( x......x )
must be approximately horizontal.

• Pipe must be completely filled at all times.

• Flow direction - Avoid top / bottom
• Ensure that there is sufficient clearance for installation and
maintenance work.

Straight inlet run minimum of 5xDN and outlet 2xDN (DN=

meter size) measured from the electrode axis.

• Support the pipeline on both sides of the flowmeter to minimise

vibrations.
• Do not install flowmeter in vicinity of strong electromagnetic fields.
Example: High-tension electrical cables
• Install protective rings for plastic pipes and internally coated metal
pipelines for proper grounding.

ELECTROMAGNETIC FLOWMETER 7
www.flotech.com.sg

Some Typical Installations

• A & B - Preferred locations. (Pipe is fully filled!)

• C - Highest point of pipe run (Air bubbles
accumulate in measuring tube causing incorrect
or unstable measurements)
• D - Top/bottom flow direction to drain does not
create a fully filled pipe condition causing unstable
or inaccurate reading.

• Install in slightly ascending pipe section. If not

possible, ensure adequate velocity to prevent air,
gas or vapour from concentrating in the flow
sensor.

• Install flow sensor in lower section of pipe.

• Install air valve downstream of flowmeter.

Negative pressure (Vacuum) may damage the
liner.

• Always install control and shutoff valves

downstream of flowmeter to avoid flow profile
distortion or possible negative pressure (Vacuum)

• Never install flow sensor on pump suction side

(Vacuum!). May cause damage to the liner.

• Install flowmeter in bypass for heavily

contaminated fluids. 2
