How Does a Magnetic Flowmeter Work?

How does a magnetic flow meter work? Magnetic flow meters use a magnetic field to generate and channel liquid flow through a pipe. A voltage signal is created when a conductive liquid flows through the flowmeter's magnetic field. The faster the flow of the fluid, the greater the voltage signal generated.

What is the working principle of magnetic flow meter?

Magnetic flow meters works based on Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction. According to this principle, when a conductive medium passes through a magnetic field B, a voltage E is generated which is proportional to the velocity v of the medium, the density of the magnetic field and the length of the conductor.

What does the magnetic flowmeter measure?

Magnetic flowmeters measure the velocity of conductive liquids in pipes, such as water, acids, caustic, and slurries. Magnetic flowmeters can measure properly when the electrical conductivity of the liquid is greater than approximately 5μS/cm.
