What is a Magnetic flowmeter?

Magnetic flowmeters are used for electrically conductive liquids with a conductivity of at least 5 µs/cm.

The measurement is based on electromagnetic induction. Electromagnets create a magnetic field; when an electrically conductive medium flows through the magnetic field, it induces a voltage. The voltage increases as the flow increases according to the following formula:

U = B*I*V
U = induced voltage
B = magnetic flux density
I = distance between the measuring electrodes
V = flow velocity of the medium

Selection of the magnetic flowmeter

In addition to a wide measurement range, magnetic flowmeters are a relatively cost-effective method for liquids.

The measuring tube is normally lined with rubber or Teflon, but it is also available without lining for corrosive applications.

We assist in selecting a remote control device that meets the requirements of the application. Ask our contacts for more information.
