The GTS range of electromagnetic flow meters offers low maintenance, accurate solutions to difficult fluid conditions. Magnetic flow meters, also known as electromagnetic flow meters or mag meters, are popular because they are multidirectional, and enable very precise volumetric flow (sometimes referred to as magnetic flow or mag flow) measurement. Magnetic flow metres are made up of a transmitter and a sensor that work in conjunction to measure flow. It's perfect for wastewater applications, as well as any unclean liquid that's conductive or water-based. Magmeters are also great for applications that demand minimal pressure drop and little maintenance.
Q: 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 ormagnetic flow moves through the flow meter’s magnetic field. The faster themagnetic flow, the greater the voltage signal generated.
Q: What are the advantages and disadvantages of an electromagnetic flow meter?
Advantages
Disadvantages
Q: What is the minimum conductivity required for a medium?
Magnetic flow meters are best suited for bidirectional flow measures of fluids with a minimum conductivity of 5 μS/cm (microS/cm).
Q: How often should I maintain a magnetic flow meter?
You should maintain your magnetic flow meter regularly by checking the electrode condition and cleaning them regularly to ensure good conductivity.
