LDB Intelligent Type Electromagnetic Flow Meter

The LDB intelligent type electromagnetic flow meter consists of a sensor and a converter. It is based on Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, which is used to measure the volume flow of conductive liquid with conductivity greater than 5μs/cm. It is an inductive meter for measuring the volume flow of conductive medium. In addition to measuring the volume flow of general conductive liquid, it can also be used to measure the volume flow of strong corrosive liquids such as strong acid and alkali and uniform liquid-solid two-phase suspension liquid such as slurry, pulp and paper pulp.

Electromagnetic Flowmeter Installation Precautions

1. Installation location

The pipe must be completely filled with liquid, which is critical, otherwise the flow display will be affected and measurement errors will occur. The pipe structure must be designed to ensure that the flow pipe is always filled with fluid.When the fluid is diverted or combined with solid particulate deposits,vertical installation is recommended, but for vertical installations,it need to follow the fluid direction from bottom to top to ensure that the pipe is full of fluid.

Installation position of electromagnetic flow meter

Avoid air bubbles. If air bubbles enter the flow pipe, the flow display will be affected ,and measurement errors will occur. When the fluid contains air bubbles, the pipe must be designed to prevent air bubbles from accumulating in the flow pipe. If there is a valve near the flow measuring pipe, place the pipe upstream of the valve as much as possible to avoid pressure reduction and bubble generation.

2. Installation direction

If the electrode is perpendicular to the ground, bubbles gathered at the top or deposits deposited at the bottom can cause measurement errors. Install the separate type flow pipe junction box and the integrated type converter on top of the pipe system to prevent water from entering.

3.  Straight pipe Sections Requirements and Environmental Requirements

Do not install anything near the flow pipe that may interfere with the magnetic field, the induced signal voltage, and the flow field distribution of flow pipe. In general,it is necessary to ensure a 5D of straight pipe section for the upstream and a 3D of straight pipe section for the downstream. If there are interference flow parts such as elbows and valves, the length of the straight pipe section required should be larger. It is highly recommended to install the valve at the downstream end to avoid flow fluctuations in the flow pipe and to avoid counting from the empty pipe status.

4. Maintain stable fluid conductivity

Avoid installing the flowmeter in the position of uneven fluid conductivity. If chemicals are injected near the upstream end of the electromagnetic flowmeter, it may affect the flow display. To avoid this, it is recommended to inject chemicals to the downstream end of the flowmeter. If it must be injected from the upstream end, use a long enough straight pipe (approximately 5D) to ensure that the fluid is well mixed with the chemicals.
