According to the principle formula of the electromagnetic flowmeter, the induced signal potential is not affected by the change of conductivity and temperature, pressure, density and viscosity when the liquid conductivity is uniform. However, in the actual measurement, due to the following reasons, the electrical conductivity will also have some impact on the measurement.

In the electromagnetic flowmeter installation and debugging stage there will be some failures, below, we will understand the specific causes of the failure at this stage and their elimination methods.

The electromagnetic flow meter consists of a non-conductive pipe lined with a conductive material, typically made of metal. The meter contains coils or electrodes positioned opposite each other on the pipe’s inner walls. A magnetic field is then generated by passing a current through these coils, creating a measurable voltage across the fluid. The induced voltage, or EMF, is directly proportional to the fluid’s velocity, allowing the flow meter to accurately determine the flow rate. Importantly, this principle remains effective regardless of the fluid’s conductivity, making electromagnetic flow meters suitable for a wide range of applications, including water, wastewater, and various industrial processes.

Electromagnetic flow meters operate based on a fundamental principle of electromagnetic induction, providing an accurate and reliable method for measuring the flow of conductive fluids. The working principle involves Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. As a conductive fluid flows through a pipe, it cuts across the magnetic field generated by coils or electrodes mounted on the flow meter. According to Faraday’s law, an electromotive force (EMF) is induced in the fluid perpendicular to both the magnetic field and the flow direction. The induced EMF is directly proportional to the flow velocity of the fluid.
