The Magnetic Flow Meter

The Magnetic Flow Meter

electromagnetic-flow-meter

One of the most well-known volumetric flow meters is the magnetic flow meter (also known as the mag flowmeter). This meter does not have any moving parts and is perfect for any type of wastewater application that includes unclean liquid. This magnetic flow meter is also known for dealing with applications where low flow, low pressure and low maintenance is essential.

Now, who couldn’t use that? Not only does it sound amazing, the price we offer can’t be beat. Shoot us over an e-mail at sales@proflowdynamics.com so we can give you a quote regarding your individual requirements.

(Keep in mind that Magnetic Flow Meters will generally not work with distilled water, hydrocarbons, water and numerous non-aqueous solutions).

Faraday figured out that if you apply electric current to a copper coil, you generate a magnetic field. That is now what we know to be Faraday’s Law… what a smart man.

So in the sense of the Magnetic Flow Meter, the flow of a conductive fluid through the magnetic field will cause an electrical energy signal (voltage signal) to be detected by electrodes, which are located on the flow tube walls. More voltage is generated when the liquid moves in a fast pace. It is fact that the voltage generated is proportional to the movement of the flowing liquid.

Here is what the formula looks like (if you are into that math stuff…)

For us, this means the “L” is the distance between electrodes in the magnetic flow meter. The induced voltage “ℇ” is generated in the magnetic field “B” due to a conductive liquid moving the velocity “v”. 

There you have it. Now you are a Magnetic Flow Meter genius!
