Electromagnetic Flowmeter - Magnetic Flow Meter - Mag Meter

Electromagnetic flowmeters, or Mag Meters offer a number of practical advantages over traditional flow metering technologies which employ mechanical measuring techniques. These advantages are mainly due to the simple construction of the Mag Meter. The Mag Meter does not contain any moving parts, rotating gears or turbines, or bearings; it relies on two electrodes to measure the density of the induced magnetic field that results from an electrically conductive fluid, such as water, flowing through a pipe. The density of the magnetic field is directly proportional to the fluid velocity of the flowing liquid.

The specific advantages that this technology provides include high accuracy, low cost, little-to-no pressure loss, readings which are unaffected by changes in density and viscosity, and no susceptibility to bearing wear or other mechanical wear-and-tear issues. Since the only wetted components are the electrodes and the liner, these components may be fabricated from a variety of different materials in order to make the Mag Meter compatible with virtually any electrically conductive fluid, including aggressive acids. The only real limitation of the Electromagnetic Flowmeter is that the measured fluid media must be electrically conductive (> 5μS/cm). Non-conductive fluids, such as oil and other petroleum-based fluids, cannot be measured by the mag meter.
