Electromagnetic flow meters, also known as Mag flow meters, are ideal for water-based applications. They come in sizes ranging from 2mm to over 3 meters in diameter. Moreover, their cost-effective pricing remains consistent even for large bore installations.
Electromagnetic Flow Meters: Ideal for Conductive Liquids
Firstly, magnetic flow meters don't obstruct flow, making them perfect for slurries, paper pulp, effluent, and other conductive liquids with solids. Additionally, they don't increase system pressure, which is beneficial for gravity-fed and low-pressure applications.
Furthermore, mag meters require minimal straight pipe for installation, thereby reducing the impact of nearby bends or valves on accuracy. They measure volumetrically and are unaffected by changes in viscosity, density, temperature, and pressure. Their wide measuring range allows for matching the flowmeter size to the pipeline size, even with varying flow rates.
Another unique feature is their ability to measure flow in both directions, thus providing nett total measurements.
In addition, modern electromagnetic flow meters offer various signal outputs like HART, PROFIBUS, MODBUS, Bluetooth, and WiFi. Consequently, they can be used in single-loop systems or more complex DCS networks, with linear output signals eliminating the need for converters.
Endress + Hauser provides electromagnetic flow meters with various liner and electrode materials for specific applications. They also offer hygienic process connections for the dairy and pharmaceutical sectors.
