China High Quality Mag Flow Meter Electromagnetic Water Flow Meter
1. Introduction
The MLF electromagnetic flowmeter works according to Faraday's law
of electromagnetic induction and consists of a sensor and a
transducer. Used to measure the conductivity of a liquid or solid.
In general, its conductivity should be greater than 5μS/cm (tap
water, raw water conductivity of about 100 ~ 500μS/cm), can also be
used to measure acid, alkali, salt water, pulp or pulp and other
media. However, these media should not contain large amounts of
magnetic material and air bubbles.
MLF electromagnetic flowmeter is a kind of instrument to measure
liquid fluidity. Widely used in metallurgy, chemical industry,
paper making, environmental protection, petroleum, textile, food,
urban management, water plant and other industries flow
measurement.

7. Advantages & Disadvantages
There are numerous benefits to using electromagnetic flowmeters to
perform fluid flow measurements. They are generally non-invasive
and have no moving parts, reducing the risk of breakdowns and the
frequency of repairs. A decrease in flowmeter pressure is also
usually no greater than that of an equivalent pipe length, reducing
the piping costs. Some of the other major advantages provided by
magnetic flowmeters include:
- Power usage is relatively low, with electrical power requirements
as low as 15 watts for some models.
- They are mechanically obstructionless and can be equipped with
abrasion-resistant liners, making them effective for measuring
slurries and other erosive fluids.
- They are capable of dealing with most kinds of acids and bases, as
well as water and water-based solutions, due to lining materials
that are both insulators and have corrosion resistance.
- Relatively small amounts of electrode metals are needed for
magnetic flowmeters.
- They can measure both very low flows and very high volume flow
rates, with a minimum diameter of roughly 0.125 inches and a
maximum volume of up to 10 cubic feet.
- They can usually measure multidirectional flow, either upstream or
downstream.
Despite these advantages, magnetic flowmeters also present certain
difficulties for flow rate measurement. These flowmeters are only
effective on conductive fluids, and materials such as unmixed
hydrocarbons and gases cannot be measured. However, magnetic
materials themselves may also present problems, as hydrodynamic
effects can alter the normal flow pattern and disturb the velocity
rate enough to interfere with operations. Depending on their size
and capacity, magnetic flowmeters can be relatively heavy, and
those with higher corrosion and abrasion resistance can be
expensive.
