Working Principle:
An electromagnetic coil generates a magnetic field perpendicular to the flow direction inside the liner-lined pipe. As the conductive fluid flows through this magnetic field, a voltage (E) is induced across the fluid proportional to flow velocity, per Faraday’s Law: E = B × D × V, where B = magnetic flux density, D = pipe diameter, V = fluid velocity. The electrodes mounted flush with the liner wall detect this induced voltage. The transmitter converts the voltage signal to a 4–20 mA output proportional to volumetric flow rate.

Key Advantages:

• Zero pressure drop — full-bore design, no obstruction
• ±0.5% accuracy — among the highest in the industry
• PFA liner — chemically inert, suitable for aggressive chemicals
• IP68 rating — can be submerged
• Empty pipe detection — prevents false readings
• No moving parts — zero maintenance requirement for the sensor

Applicable Industries:

• Water & Wastewater Treatment (custody transfer, process water)
• Chemical & Petrochemical (acids, alkalis, solvents)
• Pharmaceutical (WFI, CIP solutions)
• Food & Beverage (milk, juice, beer)
• Mining & Minerals (slurries, tailings)
• Pulp & Paper (white water, black liquor)

Installation Requirements:

• Full pipe condition mandatory — meter must always operate full
• Upstream straight pipe: Minimum 5D (D = pipe diameter)
• Downstream straight pipe: Minimum 3D
• Grounding rings required for plastic/lined pipes
• Install in vertical or horizontal pipe (horizontal preferred, electrode axis horizontal)
• Ensure minimum conductivity of 5 μS/cm in the process fluid

Usage Precautions:

• Do not use for non-conductive fluids (pure water, hydrocarbons, gases)
• Do not exceed maximum process temperature of +180°C (PFA liner)
• Verify electrode material compatibility with process fluid
• Never run dry — empty pipe causes electrode damage
• Ground the meter properly — poor grounding causes measurement errors
