Magnetic Water Flow Meter Applications

KLD electromagnetic water flowmeter can be used to measure the volume flow of conductive fluid in a closed pipeline. It is widely applied in the flow measurement and control in the fields of chemical and petroleum industry, metallurgy industry, water and wastewater, agriculture and irrigation, paper making, food and beverage industry and pharmaceutical industry.

The premise of using Magnetic Water Flow Meter is that the measured liquid must be conductive. The conductivity of the liquid cannot be lower than the threshold, the lower limit. If the conductivity is lower than the threshold, it will cause measurement error until it can not be used.

It can be measured even if the value exceeds the threshold, and the indication error does not change much. The threshold value of general electromagnetic flowmeter is between 10-4~(5×10-6)S/cm, depending on the model. It also depends on the length of the flow signal line between the sensor and the converter and its distributed capacitance. The product manual usually stipulates the signal line length corresponding to the conductivity.

Magnetic Water Flow Meter to Measure Waste Water

The sewage treatment process is mainly through biological oxidation, flocculation, precipitation and other processes to achieve the purpose of sewage purification. At each stage, a certain gauge is needed to measure.

In the sewage industry, according to the characteristics of the corrosiveness, abrasiveness, temperature and condensation of the tested substance and the price tolerance. Different lining and electrode materials should be selected.

In the sewage treatment process, it is necessary to configure corresponding detection instruments according to the process requirements to form a reliable control system.

Generally, sewage treatment plants are equipped with flow meters in the following process inspection procedures:

  1. Water inlet pipe.
  2. Detection of mud volume from primary settling tank to mud storage tank.

Magnetic Water Flow Meter to Measure Industrial Water

The conductivity of industrial water and its aqueous solution is greater than 10-4S/cm. The conductivity of acid, alkali and salt solution is between 10-4~10-1S/cm, so there is no problem in use. Low distilled water is 10-5S/cm and there is no problem.

The electromagnetic flowmeter cannot measure liquids with very low conductivity. Such as petroleum products and organic solvents. Cannot measure gas, steam and liquids containing more and larger bubbles.

It is found from the data that some pure liquids or aqueous solutions have low conductivity and are considered unusable. However, in actual work, we will encounter examples that can be used because of impurities. Such impurities are beneficial to increase conductivity.

For aqueous solutions, the conductivity in the data is measured in the laboratory with pure water ratio. The actual aqueous solution may be proportioned with industrial water. The conductivity will be higher than found, which is also conducive to flow measurement.

Orifice Plate Types

Sino-Inst supplies all kinds of the orifice plate, for differential applications.

SQUARE EDGE (STANDARD) BORE

For the common square edge concentric bore orifice, the bore and bevel is the standard method of limiting the plate edge thickness.

Unless otherwise specified, plates will be beveled to the currently accepted standards.

QUADRANT EDGE BORE

The quadrant edge bore is an orifice with the inlet edge rounded. Instead of beveling, the plate is counterbored to the desired edge thickness.

The radius of the quarter circle bore is a function of the orifice-to-pipe ratio (d/D). Thickness at the throat is equal to the radius.

This bore is specifically designed for viscous fluids such as heavy crudes, syrups, and slurries with Reynolds Numbers below 100,000.

ECCENTRIC BORE

Eccentrically bored orifice plates are plates, with the orifice off-center, or eccentric, as opposed to concentric.

The bore of the eccentric orifice normally is inscribed in a circle, which is 98% of the pipe diameter, so that solids or slurries may pass through.

Eccentric orifice plates are used in many industries, including heavy and light chemicals, steel, paper, nuclear and petrochemicals.

SEGMENTAL BORE

Segmentally bored orifice plates are provided for measurement, where solids are entrained in a gas or liquid flow stream.

The circular portion of the bore is inscribed within a circle, which is normally 98% of the pipe diameter.

The segmental opening may be placed either at the top or bottom of the pipe.

Industries using these bores include sewage treatment, steel, chemical, water conditioning, paper, and petrochemical.

RTJ Type Orifice Plates

The RTJ type orifice plate incorporates an integral gasket, either oval or octagonal ring, for mounting between ring type joint flanges.

It is based on proven technology, has no moving parts and is suitable for high temperature and pressure applications.

RTJ type orifice plates can be supplied complete with ANSI B16.36 orifice flanges.

Orifice plates are recommended for clean liquids, gases, and low-velocity stream flows.

Plate thicknesses depend on line size and differential pressure and should be sufficient, to prevent the plate from bending under operating conditions. Orifice plates can be made in accordance with customer drawings as required.

For example, if you need to measure the flow of wastewater in a 2-inch pipe. Then you may refer to: Magnetic Flow Meters Guides.

How much is a 2 inch water flow meter? Let’s find out.

Orifice Plate Flow Meter Installation

1. Meter manifold piping should always be installed to enable calibration as well as to protect the differential element against overage.

2. The meter should be installed as close as possible to the orifice fitting.

3. Always slope the manifold lines gently from the orifice fitting to the meter to eliminate any high or low points in the manifold lines.

4. Use condensate chambers or air traps to remove either liquid from a gas system or gas from a liquid system if lows or highs in the manifold piping cannot be avoided.

It is important when pressurizing or depressurizing differential measuring devices to apply or release pressure to or from the high and low meter chambers uniformly, so as not to impose excessive overage.

What is an Orifice Meter?

An orifice meter is a conduit and a restriction to create a pressure drop.

An hourglass is a form of the orifice.

A nozzle, venturi or thin sharp-edged orifice can be used as the flow restriction.

In order to use any of these devices for measurement, it is necessary to empirically calibrate them.

That is, pass a known volume through the meter and note the reading in order to provide a standard for measuring other quantities.

Due to the ease of duplicating and the simple construction, the thin sharp-edged orifice has been adopted as a standard and extensive calibration work has been done, so that it is widely accepted as a standard means of measuring fluids.

Provided the standard mechanics of construction are followed no further calibration is required.

The minimum cross-sectional area of the jet is known as the “vena contract”.

How does an orifice flow meter work?

I guess most people wondered: What is the working principle of orifice meter?

As the fluid approaches the orifice the pressure increases slightly and then drops suddenly as the orifice is passed.

It continues to drop until the “vena contract” is reached, and then gradually increases, until at approximately 5 to 8 diameters downstream, a maximum pressure point is reached, that will be lower than the pressure upstream of the orifice.

The decrease in pressure as the fluid passes thru the orifice, is a result of the increased velocity of the gas passing thru the reduced area of the orifice.

When the velocity decreases as the fluid leaves the orifice the pressure increases, and tends to return to its original level (To level transmitters).

All the pressure loss is not recovered because of friction, and turbulence losses in the stream.

The pressure drop across the orifice increases when the rate of flow increases.

When there is no flow there is no differential.

The differential pressure is proportional to the square of the velocity, it thus follows that if all other factors remain constant, then the differential is proportional to the square of the rate of flow.

Venturi Flow Meter

Venturi flow meter is also called classical venturi, and is used to call venturi meter, standard venturi. It is used to measure the flow of single-phase stable fluid in closed pipelines.

Venturi flow meter is a flow measurement method based on the principle of differential pressure. Commonly used to measure the flow of fluids such as air, natural gas, coal gas, and water. In the standard throttling device, the upstream and downstream straight pipe sections required by it are short. The lasting pressure loss is small, the performance is stable, and the maintenance is convenient.

What is the difference between Venturimeter and orifice meter?

The difference between venturi flowmeter and orifice flowmeter:

Orifice flow meters and Venturi flow meters are very different in many aspects.

In order to reduce the loss of the kinetic energy of the fluid mechanics flowing through the saving components, the Venturi flowmeter uses each section of tapered and divergent tubes to replace the orifice.

The orifice flowmeter is equipped with an interchangeable orifice plate with a small circular hole on the upper side, which is much smaller than the diameter of the pipe. The orifice plate is placed on the side of the fluid mechanics pipe.

More about: Venturi Tube Flowmeter

1.The orifice flowmeter is similar to the Venturi flowmeter in the working principle. But some of the main differences are: the orifice plate can be easily replaced to accommodate a wide range of different flow rates.

The throat diameter of the venturi is fixed, so that the measured flow rate range is limited by the actual pressure difference.

Due to the vortex on the downstream side of the orifice, the permanent loss of the orifice flowmeter is very large.

The structure and shape of the Venturi flowmeter can avoid the formation of vortices, which can greatly reduce permanent losses.

2.The energy loss of Venturi flowmeter in measuring flow is much smaller than that of orifice flowmeter.
However, because the venturi flowmeter is more time-consuming in manufacturing and processing than the orifice flowmeter, and the price is high, the orifice flowmeter has the least trouble and the lowest cost during pipeline installation.

3.In terms of fluid measurement, Venturi flowmeters are generally used for low-velocity gas flow measurement.

The flow coefficient of the orifice plate in the orifice flowmeter is significantly affected by the fluid disturbance, and this disturbance comes from the influence of the valves, elbows and other pipe fittings installed upstream of the orifice plate. The value of its discharge coefficient is less affected by downstream disturbances. Generally, this kind of flowmeter should be installed at a distance of 50 times and 10 times the pipe diameter from the upstream and downstream disturbance components, respectively. Obviously the required distance is related to the nature of the disturbance.

Therefore, when measuring with an orifice flowmeter, the orifice flowmeter must be installed correctly according to the disturbance of the fluid.

The above is a detailed introduction to the question of “What is the difference between a venturi flowmeter and an orifice flowmeter”, I hope to help everyone.

First, let us look at the structure of the magmeter.

The structure of electromagnetic flowmeter is mainly composed of magnetic circuit system, measuring catheter, electrode, shell, lining and converter.

The electromagnetic flowmeter is made according to Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. It is used to measure the volume flow of conductive liquid.

Faraday’s law of induction (referring to the induction of an electric potential inside the conductor when the conductor passes through a magnetic field) is the basic principle of electromagnetic flowmeter measurement.

This measurement principle can be applied to conductive fluids.

The fluid flows into a pipe whose magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the fluid, and the electric potential induced in the fluid can be measured using two symmetrically arranged electrodes.

The signal voltage UE is proportional to the magnetic induction intensity B, the electrode spacing D and the average fluid velocity v.

Because the magnetic induction intensity B and the electrode spacing D are constant. Therefore, the signal voltage UE is proportional to the average flow velocity v.

The equation used to calculate the volume flow rate shows that the signal voltage UE is linearly proportional to the volume flow rate.

The sensed signal voltage is converted into the graduation in the converter, analog and digital output signals.

Magmeter flowmeters measure the velocity of conductive liquids (such as water, acid, caustic and slurry) in the pipeline. When measuring deionized water, the minimum conductivity of the medium is 20uS/cm. For most liquids, the minimum conductivity required for measurement can be 5uS/cm.

Magmeter is mainly used in the following areas:

  • Measure clean water, sewage, domestic water, raw water;
  • Various acid, alkali, salt and other solutions;
  • Mud, mineral pulp, paper pulp, and food liquids, etc.;
  • It is widely used in metallurgy, papermaking, water treatment, chemical industry, light industry, textile, food and beverage, catering, agricultural irrigation, hydropower station, oil production, electric power and mining industries.

Magmeter liner selection should be selected according to the corrosiveness, abrasiveness and temperature of the measured medium.

1.Environmental conditions:

Magmeter flowmeter, especially the flowmeter with intelligent LCD screen. The installation position should avoid direct sunlight as much as possible. The ambient temperature should be between 5℃~55℃.

2.Avoid strong interference sources

Choose a place where there is no strong electromagnetic field radiation to install the flowmeter.

Avoid devices that can easily cause electromagnetic interference, such as motors, transformers, and frequency converters.

The measurement principle of the flowmeter is based on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, the original
The initial signal is very weak, less than millivolt.

If there is strong electromagnetic field radiation near the flowmeter, it will affect the accuracy of the measurement and even fail to work normally.

3.Magmeter straight run

Pay attention to avoid eddy current generating parts as much as possible. Such as various valves, elbows, bypasses, etc.

Try to extend the straight pipe section upstream and downstream of the flowmeter. Install a rectifier tube if necessary.

Ensure that the upstream straight pipe section of the flowmeter must be at least 5 DN (measurement pipe diameter). The downstream is guaranteed to be more than 2 DN.

4.The conductivity of the liquid must be uniform and stable

Do not install the flowmeter in a place where the conductivity of the fluid to be measured is extremely uneven.
If different media are injected upstream, the conductivity will be uneven and will affect the measurement.

In this case, it is recommended to move the injection port downstream.

If it must be injected from upstream, it should be as far away from the flowmeter as possible. Generally, it is better to keep a distance of more than 20 DN. To ensure that the liquid is fully mixed and uniform.

5.Keep the electrode axis level

The plane of the intermittent measuring electrode must be kept level. This prevents short-term insulation between the two electrodes due to air bubbles.

6.Magmeter grounding rings

Since the induction signal of the electromagnetic flowmeter is very weak, it is susceptible to noise. Therefore, the reference potential of the sensor and the converter must be the same as the measured liquid, and be grounded together.

The purpose of installing grounding rings or grounding electrodes on both sides of the electromagnetic flowmeter is to establish the equipotentiality between the flowmeter casing and the liquid.

Ordinary metal pipe (generally no need to install grounding ring)

When the pipeline itself is well grounded, the grounding wire can be omitted, but the casing must be connected to the liquid through the grounding wire equipped with the flowmeter.

Insulated pipes (plastic pipes, rubber-lined pipes, etc.)

A grounding ring (or grounding electrode) should be installed at both ends of the sensor and the measured medium should be short-circuited with the earth through the grounding wire.

Cathodic protection pipeline

The pipe flanges are connected by copper wires, but they must be insulated from the grounding wire.

Magnetic flowmeter is a widely used flow measuring instrument. How should we calibrate it?

Let’s take a look at the calibration method of electromagnetic flowmeter:

  1. Determine the corresponding water pump according to the pipe diameter and flow rate of the verification test;
  2. After the flowmeter is correctly installed and connected, it should be energized and preheated for about 30 minutes in accordance with the requirements of the verification regulations;
  3. If the high-level tank water source is used, check whether the overflow signal of the stabilized water tower appears. Before the formal test, use the verification medium to circulate in the pipeline system for a certain period of time. At the same time, check whether there is any leakage in the sealing parts of the pipeline;
  4. The verification medium should be filled with the electromagnetic flowmeter sensor before the formal verification. Then the downstream valve should be closed to adjust the zero position;
  5. At the beginning of the verification, open the valve at the front of the pipeline and slowly open the valve behind the electromagnetic flowmeter to adjust the flow at the verification point.
  6. During the calibration process, the flow stability of each flow point should be within 1% to 2%-flow method. The total amount law can be within 5%.
    • The temperature change of the verification medium should not exceed 1℃ when the verification process of a flow point is completed. It should not exceed 5℃ when the entire verification process is completed.
    • There must be a sufficiently high pressure downstream of the electromagnetic flowmeter to be checked to ensure that no flashing and cavitation occur in the flow pipeline;
  7. After the test, close the valve at the front end of the test pipeline. Then stop the pump to avoid emptying the voltage stabilization facility. At the same time, the remaining verification medium in the test pipeline must be vented and the control system and the air compressor must be closed.

All electromagnetic flowmeters need to be calibrated when they leave the factory. Each finished product needs to pass the calibration line inspection before leaving the factory.

It is to install the product on the assembly line. The front end adopts a strictly debugged standard table. A series of coefficients such as the diameter of the flowmeter, the damping coefficient, and the sensor coefficient of the electromagnetic flowmeter are set at the back end. To achieve the same flow rate as the standard meter.

If calibration is done on-site, it may generally be used to calibrate outside the sealed pipeline. Such as portable ultrasonic flowmeter. But the accuracy is generally 0.5. If you just check it, you can use a portable ultrasonic flowmeter.

Ultrasonic flow meters and electromagnetic flow meters have different measurement principles.

Electromagnetic flowmeter must measure conductive liquid. The ultrasonic flowmeter can measure pure single-phase liquid. It has nothing to do with the conductivity of the liquid.

The electromagnetic flowmeter must be in contact with the medium to measure. The ultrasonic flowmeter can do contact and non-contact measurement.

The electromagnetic flowmeter is a flow measuring instrument. The measuring principle of the electromagnetic flowmeter is measured according to its principle of conduction. Most of the flow measurement on the market is solved by electromagnetic flowmeters.

The electromagnetic flowmeter is a pure liquid volume measurement instrument.

The mass flow meter is a function of fluid volume and fluid temperature and pressure. Is a dependent variable. The quality of a fluid is a quantity that does not change with time, space temperature, and pressure.

Mass flow meters are compared with electromagnetic flow meters. It can measure non-conductive media. This is one of the biggest differences. In addition, the accuracy of the mass flow meter is higher. The cost is large, and there are fewer applications in the market.

There is a big difference in the performance of general-purpose electromagnetic flowmeters on the market. Some have high precision and many functions. Some have low precision and simple functions.

The basic error of the instrument with high accuracy is (±0.5%~±1%)R.
The instrument with low accuracy is (±1.5%~±2.5%)FS.
The price difference between the two is 1 to 2 times.

More Details About Turbine Flow Meter

A turbine flow meter is a type of flow meter that works by measuring the velocity of a fluid or gas as it passes through a turbine rotor. Turbine flow meters are commonly used to measure the flow of liquids and gases in a wide range of applications. They offer a high level of accuracy, especially in high flow rate applications, and can be used for both clean and dirty fluids. Turbine flow meters are also relatively easy to install and maintain, making them a popular choice in many industries.

Turbine flowmeter is composed of turbine, bearing, preamplifier and display instrument.

The principle of the turbine flowmeter is to place a turbine in the center of the pipeline, and the two ends are supported by bearings. As the fluid passes through the pipes, it strikes the turbine blades. Drive torque to the turbine. Make the turbine rotate by overcoming the friction torque and fluid resistance torque.

In a certain flow range, for a certain fluid medium viscosity, the rotational angular velocity of the turbine is proportional to the fluid velocity. Thus, the fluid flow rate can be obtained from the rotational angular velocity of the turbine, so that the fluid flow through the pipeline can be calculated.

The fluid to be measured impacts the turbine blades, causing the turbine to rotate, and the rotation speed of the turbine changes with the change of the flow rate. That is, the flow rate is large, and the speed of the turbine is also large. Then the rotation speed of the turbine is converted into electric pulses of corresponding frequency by the magnetoelectric conversion device. After being amplified by the preamplifier, it is sent to the display instrument for counting and display. According to the pulse number and cumulative pulse number per unit time, the instantaneous flow and cumulative flow can be calculated.

Turbine flow meters offer a number of advantages over other types of flow meters. Here are some of the key benefits of using turbine flow meters:

  • High accuracy: Turbine flow meters offer a high level of accuracy, especially in high flow rate applications. They have an accuracy of ±0.5% to ±1.0% of reading.
  • Wide flow range: Turbine flow meters have a wide flow range capability. They can measure flow rates from as low as 0.1 GPM (gallons per minute) to as high as 10,000 GPM, depending on the model and size.
  • Quick response time: Turbine flow meters have a fast dynamic response time, which means that they can measure changes in flow rate quickly.
  • Easy to install and maintain: Turbine flow meters are relatively easy to install and maintain. They don’t require a lot of space, and they don’t need a lot of external piping or support.
  • Versatile: Turbine flow meters can be used to measure the flow of a wide range of fluids and gases. Including hydrocarbons, chemicals, water, cryogenic liquids, air, natural gas, and industrial gases.
  • Customizable: Turbine flow meters can be customized to meet specific flow application requirements. Custom features may include: high temperature, extremely low temperature (-196 degrees Celsius), ultra-high pressure, extremely small diameter (DN4, DN6), etc.

Overall, turbine flow meters are a reliable and cost-effective method for achieving high accuracy flow measurement.

No, a rotary meter is a different type of flow meter than a turbine meter. While both are used to measure the flow of liquids or gases, they operate on different principles and have distinct designs.

A rotary meter, also known as a positive displacement meter, works by dividing the fluid or gas being measured into specific volumes and then counting the number of volumes that pass through the meter.

In contrast, a turbine flow meter works by measuring the velocity of the fluid or gas as it passes through a turbine rotor. The rotor spins at a speed proportional to the flow rate, and this motion generates an electrical signal that can be used to measure the flow rate.

While both types of flow meters are used for measuring the flow of liquids or gases, they are different in their operation and design.
