Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to an electromagnetic flowmeter and more particularly to an electromagnetic flowmeter for measuring flow of fluid flowing in a conduit.
  • Measurement of flow of fluids through a conduit or pipe can be done by numerous ways like using electromagnetic flowmeters. Electromagnetic flowmeters are popular flow measurement devices owing to their non-invasiveness and accuracy.
  • a typical electromagnetic flowmeter works on Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.
  • An electromagnetic field is imposed within a conduit/flow pipe having a flow of fluid with a certain level of conductivity.
  • Electromotive force (EMF) induced as a result of the interaction of the electromagnetic field with fluid molecules (ions in the fluid), is measured using electrodes provided at the pipe side walls. The measured EMF is proportional to the flowrate and thus used to measure flowrate. While electromagnetic flowmeters are attractive given that they are non-invasive, accurate and simplistic in construction, it is desirable to improve accuracy of measurement.
  • a primary cause of non-linearity in the sensitivity is the velocity profile across the pipe cross section which changes in shape under varying flowrates. As the flow gets more and more turbulent the profiles get flatter towards the center inducing non linearity in the sensitivity-flowrate curve. Magnetic field distribution can be manipulated using external high permeability materials like electrical steel or nickel based steels. However, this adds cost to the flowmeter.
