China Factory Mag Flow Meter 100mm (4 Inch) ANSI Flange Connection
1. Introduction
MLF electromagnetic flow meter, composed of sensor and converter,
works based on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction law. It
is used to measure electrical conductivity of liquid or solid.
Generally, the electrical conductivity should be over
5υS/cm(electrical conductivity of tap water, raw water is about
100～500υS/cm). It can also be used to measure various media like
acid, alkali, saline solution, paper pulp or pulp and so on. But
these media can’t contain a lot of magnetic materials and bubbles.
MLF electromagnetic flow meter is a kind of instrument which is
used for measuring the flow conductivity liquid. The meter is
widely used in flow measuring of Metallurgy, Chemical Industry,
Paper Industry,Environmental Protection, Oil Industry, Textile
Industry, Food Industry and City Administration, Water Works,etc.

7. Advantages & Disadvantages
There are numerous benefits to using electromagnetic flowmeters to
perform fluid flow measurements. They are generally non-invasive
and have no moving parts, reducing the risk of breakdowns and the
frequency of repairs. A decrease in flowmeter pressure is also
usually no greater than that of an equivalent pipe length, reducing
the piping costs. Some of the other major advantages provided by
magnetic flowmeters include:
- Power usage is relatively low, with electrical power requirements
as low as 15 watts for some models.
- They are mechanically obstructionless and can be equipped with
abrasion-resistant liners, making them effective for measuring
slurries and other erosive fluids.
- They are capable of dealing with most kinds of acids and bases, as
well as water and water-based solutions, due to lining materials
that are both insulators and have corrosion resistance.
- Relatively small amounts of electrode metals are needed for
magnetic flowmeters.
- They can measure both very low flows and very high volume flow
rates, with a minimum diameter of roughly 0.125 inches and a
maximum volume of up to 10 cubic feet.
- They can usually measure multidirectional flow, either upstream or
downstream.
Despite these advantages, magnetic flowmeters also present certain
difficulties for flow rate measurement. These flowmeters are only
effective on conductive fluids, and materials such as unmixed
hydrocarbons and gases cannot be measured. However, magnetic
materials themselves may also present problems, as hydrodynamic
effects can alter the normal flow pattern and disturb the velocity
rate enough to interfere with operations. Depending on their size
and capacity, magnetic flowmeters can be relatively heavy, and
those with higher corrosion and abrasion resistance can be
expensive.
