A magnetic flowmeter is commonly called a Magmeter. This flow meter principle exploits Faraday’s law . A voltage is picked up which is proportional to the average flow velocity. The following video presentation shows how the electrodes and coils play their part in the measurement.
Magnetic flowmeters, also known as Magmeters, utilize Faraday’s law to measure the flow rate of conductive fluids. As a conductive fluid flows through a pipe, it passes through a magnetic field generated by coils surrounding the pipe. According to Faraday’s law, this interaction induces a voltage proportional to the flow rate of the fluid. By measuring this induced voltage, magnetic flowmeters accurately determine the flow rate, making them indispensable tools in various industries, including water treatment, chemical processing, and wastewater management.
Choosing a magnetic flowmeter offers several advantages. Firstly, magnetic flowmeters are highly accurate and reliable, providing precise measurements even in challenging conditions such as varying flow rates, fluid viscosities, and temperatures. Their non-intrusive design ensures minimal pressure drop, reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs over time.
Moreover, magnetic flowmeters are suitable for a wide range of applications and can handle corrosive, abrasive, and viscous fluids with ease. They are also unaffected by changes in fluid density or conductivity, making them versatile instruments for diverse industrial environments.
Furthermore, magnetic flowmeters offer excellent longevity and require minimal maintenance compared to other flow measurement technologies. Their robust construction and lack of moving parts reduce the risk of mechanical failure, ensuring continuous and uninterrupted operation.
K-meters has a range of high quality economically priced magnetic flowmeters for water and wastewater applications and conductive fluids. We provide the magnetic flow meter and a calibration certificate from an ILAC-certified calibration house. Magnetic Flow Meters measure volumetric flow rate and are popular where very low maintenance is required. Operators can simply order a magnetic flow meter, install it, and forget about it.
