    A magnetic flow meter uses Faraday's law to measure the volumetric flow of conductive liquids through a pipe without moving parts. It works by inducing a voltage in the liquid as it flows through a magnetic field created by coils around the pipe. The induced voltage is measured by electrodes and converted to a flow rate reading using a unique calibration factor for each meter. Magnetic flow meters offer high accuracy, wide turndown ratios, long service life, and do not require straight pipe runs upstream or downstream for proper installation and operation. They can measure flows down to zero and are suitable for applications including energy management, billing, process monitoring and flows of various liquids.

    What is a Magnetic Flow Meter?

    A magnetic flow meter (mag flowmeter) is a volumetric flow meter which


    does not have any moving parts and is ideal for wastewater applications or any dirty
    liquid which is conductive or water based. Magnetic flowmeters will generally not work
    with hydrocarbons, distilled water and many non-aqueous solutions). Magnetic
    flowmeters are also ideal for applications where low pressure drop and low maintenance
    are required.
    PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
    araday!s law states that, when you move a conductor perpendicular through
    a magnetic field, a voltage will be induced proportional to the velocity of the conductor.
    A magnetic field is created by a set of coils which are encapsulated and rigidly retained in
    the meter flow tube and, when a conductive liquid moves through that magnetic field, a
    pair of electrodes measures the voltage induced by the movement of the liquid. "he
    measurement is independent of conductivity changes in the liquid as long as it remains
    above the minimum threshold of # u$%cm&.
    "he relationship between the liquid velocity and the induced voltage is
    e'pressed in a meter (-factor. "he meter (-factor is unique to each and every meter and
    is documented during a )*$" traceable flow test completed prior to shipment. +ith the
    (-factor established a highly accurate volumetric flow is calculated by multiplying the
    cross sectional area of the flow tube by the measured liquid velocity. "his volumetric
    relationship can then be converted to various engineering units and the flow meter
    converter can then retransmit this information with a ,-&- mA current signal and%or
    conditioned pulse. An optional integral ./0 *ndicator%"otali1er is available to locally
    display and totali1e in whatever engineering units preferred.

    Meters are equipped with electronics capable of registering locally, remotely or
    interfacing with an energy management
    system. =uilt to withstand the toughest conditions.
    INSTALLATION
    *nstallation requirements have been redefined with the /adillac magnetic
    flow meter. <mploying coil and plate shaping techniques the /adillac? meter provides a
    uniform magnetic flu' distribution within the flow tube, allowing the meter to measure
    and sample uniformly the entire flow tube area. *n addition, the electronics provide high
    frequency 0/ square wave signal generation and flow signal sampling, enabling fast
    response to turbulent or tumbling flow conditions.
    *n practice, this means the /adillac? magnetic flow meters do not require
    piping straight run or flow conditioning, and may be installed ne't to elbows, tees,
    valves, etc. without any effect in meter accuracy or stability.
    *n comparison, the straight pipe run requirements for all other magnetic flow meters are
    as follows6

    3nlike other technologies such as the /adillac? Aorte' flow meter,
    magnetic flow meters do not have a low flow cutoff, essentially allowing the meter to
    read to 1ero. +ith such a wide flow range capability for the technology, most
    applications can be addressed with meters at full line si1e.
