LDB Intelligent Type Electromagnetic Flowmete

General

The LDB intelligent type electromagnetic flowmeter consists of a sensor and a converter. It is based on Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, which is used to measure the volume flow of conductive liquid with conductivity greater than 5μs/cm. It is an inductive meter for measuring the volume flow of conductive medium. In addition to measuring the volume flow of general conductive liquid, it can also be used to measure the volume flow of strong corrosive liquids such as strong acid and alkali and uniform liquid-solid two-phase suspension liquid such as slurry, pulp and paper pulp. It is wdely used for flow measurement of petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, textile, papermaking, environmental protection, food and other industrial sectors and municipal management, water conservancy construction, rivers and other fields.

Working Principle

According to the principle of Faraday electromagnetic induction, a pair of detecting electrodes are mounted on the wall of the pipe perpendicular to the axis of the measuring pipe and the magnetic line of force. When the conductive liquid moves along the axis of the measuring pipe, the conductive liquid cuts the magnetic line of force to generate an induced potential.The induced potential is detected by the two detection electrodes and the value is proportional to the flow rate. The value is: E=KBVD

Where: E- induced potential;

K-the factor related to the magnetic field distribution and the axial length;

B-magnetic induction intensity;

V-conductive liquid average flow rate;

D-electrode spacing; (measure inner diameter of the pipe)

The sensor transmits the induced potential E as a flow signal to the converter. After a series of digital processing such as amplification and conversion filtering, the instantaneous flow rate and the accumulated flow rate are displayed by the dot matrix liquid crystal with backlight. The converter has 4-20mA output, alarm output and frequency output, and has RS-485 communication interface, and supports HART and MODBUS protocols.

Composition and Structure

The electromagnetic flowmeter consists of the following components:

The electromagnetic flowmeter mainly consists of a sensor and a converter. The sensor includes a flange, a lining, an electrode, a measuring pipe, an excitation coil, a sensor housing and so on; the converter includes an internal circuit board and a converter housing.    

1.Converter: provides a stable excitation current for the sensor, at the same time, converts the induced electromotive force obtained by the sensor into a standard electrical signal, and displays real-time flow and parameters for display, control and adjustment of the flow.

2.Lining: a complete layer of electrically insulating corrosion-resistant material on the inside of the measuring pipe and on the flange sealing surface.

3.Electrode: a pair of electrodes mounted on the wall of the measuring pipe to detect the flow signal, and another 1-2 grounding electrodes mounted for the grounding and anti-interference of the flow signal measurement.

Instrument Classification

1.According to the instrument structure, the vortex flowmeter can be divided into three categories, namely:

Full pipe type electromagnetic flow meter

① No resistance parts in the measuring pipe, no pressure loss.

② With simple structure, the electromagnetic flowmeter measuring pipe can use different lining according to different qualifications, and the reliability is high.

Separate type electromagnetic flowmeter

The converter and the  main body  are  installed  separately, which  is  convenient  for centralized installation and easy to read data.

Plug-in type electromagnetic flowmeter

It is widely applicable to the flow measurement of large caliber conductive liquid medium in various industries.

①Wide nominal diameter range, suitable for all caliber pipes between DN150~DN3000.

②The sensor uses novel excitation mode, low power consumption, stable zero point and high precision. The flow range can reach 1500:1.
