Characteristics of electromagnetic flowmeter
The working principle of the electromagnetic flowmeter is based on the law of electromagnetic induction. It is a flow meter with classic measurement principles, mature technology, good temporary stability, and low maintenance. It is also used in water diversion projects, water plants, and sewage treatment plants. Inlet and outlet water flow measurement: most commonly used flow meters
Electromagnetic flowmeter installation requirements
1. For horizontal and vertical flow directions, the electromagnetic flowmeter should be installed at the lower part of the horizontal pipe and the vertical upward part, and avoid installing it at the highest point and vertical downward part of the pipe;
2. When the flow direction is inclined, the electromagnetic flowmeter should be installed at the rising point of the pipe;
3. When opening the discharge pipe, the electromagnetic flowmeter should be installed at the lower part of the pipe;
4. When the pipeline drop exceeds 5 meters, an exhaust valve should be installed downstream of the electromagnetic flowmeter;
5. The control valve and cut-off valve on the pipeline should be installed downstream of the electromagnetic flowmeter and should not be installed upstream of the sensor;
6. The electromagnetic flowmeter cannot be installed at the inlet of the pump, but should be installed at the outlet;
7. How to install electromagnetic flowmeter in the measuring well;
Features
1. Measurement is not affected by the variation of flow density, viscosity, temperature, pressure and conductivity. High accuracy measurement is guaranteed according to the linear measurement principle.

Main Applications
TQMF electromagnetic flowmeter can be used to measure the volume flow of conductive fluid in a closed pipeline. It is widely applied in the flow measurement and control in the fields of chemical and petroleum industry, metallurgy industry, water and waste water, agriculture and irrigation, paper making, food and beverage industry and pharmaceutical industry. 1.3Ambient Conditions Ambient temperature: sensor: -25℃ to + 60℃; converter: -25℃ to + 60℃. Relative humidity: 5% to 90%; 1.4Working Conditions Maximum fluid temperature: Compact type: 60℃ Remote type: Teflon 150℃ Neoprene 80℃; 120℃ Polyurethane 70℃ Fluid conductivity: ≥ 5S/cm
L.F. Cutoff and Cutoff Enble
Low flow cutoff is set in percentage relative to flow range. If Cutoff is enabled and flow is lower than the set value, the display of flow rate, speed and percentage and signal outputs are forced to nil. If the item is disabled, no action is taken.
Measuring Principles
The measuring principle of electromagnetic flowmeter is based on the electromagnetic induction law of Farady. The sensor is mainly composed of measuring tube with isolate lining, a pair of electrodes installed by penetration of the measuring tube wall, a pair of coils and iron core to produce working magnetic field. When the conductive fluid flows through the measuring tube of the sensor, the voltage signal in direct proportion to the average flow velocity of the fluid will be inducted on the electrodes. The signal is amplified and treated by the transmitter to realize various display functions.
Converter Circuit Schematic
The converters supplies a stable exciting current to the coil in the sensor of electronetic flowmeters to get B constant and amplifies the electromotive force and convert it into standard signals of current or frequency so that the signals can be used for displaying, controlling and processing. The schematic of converter circuit is shown in Fig. 2.1.
