Electromagnetic flow meters are cool things that measure speed of flow of liquids through pipes. They are ubiquitous in all manner of industries, for example at water treatment plants, food processing factories and many industrial processes. But how do they work exactly?
Well, magnets and electricity, to be exact. As is the case with a liquid flowing in a pipe, the liquid creates a magnetic field. The electromagnetic flow meter employs this magnetic field to determine how quickly the liquid is flowing. It’s a bit like magic except instead of magic, it’s science!
Electrodes are to the electromagnetic flow meter such as the eyes and ears are to the human beings Editor’s Summary 1. They sense the changes in the magnetic field produced by the moving liquid. The more accurate the electrodes, the more accurate the flow meter will read. So, you want to take care of those electrodes!
There are countless ways to gauge fluid flow, but electromagnetic flow meters possess several distinct advantages. Other flow metering devices can be obstructed or broken by the liquid they are measuring, but electromagnetic flow meters are not only non-invasive, but are also suitable for all types of liquid mediums. They are also super accurate and reliable!
There are coils of wire inside an electromagnetic flow meter that generate the magnetic field, electrodes that pick up changes in the magnetic field and a fancy computer that does the math to figure out the flow rate. It’s a complicated system, but it is flawless! And because we have electromagnetic flow meters, we know how fluids are moving smoothly and efficiently.
