Thanks for your quick responce. This Insertion type mag flow meter really works well in our wastewater pipes.
How Electromagnetic Flowmeter works?
Magnetic flow meters use the principle of Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction to measure the flow rate of liquid in a pipe. In the magnetic flowmeter pipe parts, a magnetic field is generated, and channeled into the liquid flowing through the pipe. Faraday’s Law states that the voltage generated is proportional to the movement of the flowing liquid. A conductor moving through a magnetic field produces an electric signal within the conductor. And the singal is proportional to the velocity of the water moving through the field. As fluid flows through the magnetic field, conductive particles in the fluid create changes. This variation is used to measure and calculate the velocity of water flow through the pipe. When the fluid moves faster, more voltage is generated. The electronic transmitter processes the voltage signal to determine liquid flow.
Electromagnetic flow meter Working Principle
The operation principle of a magnetic flow meter or mag meter is based upon Faraday’s Law. Faraday’s Law states the voltage generated is proportional to the movement of the flowing liquid. The transmitter processes the voltage signal to determine liquid flow.

- Electromagnetic water flow meter is virtually unaffected by changes in density, viscosity, pressure, and temperature.
- Power requirements may be low (15 or 20 W), especially for pulsed DC types.
- Electromagnetic water flow meter can be used as a two-way meter.
- Electromagnetic water flow meter is suitable for most acids, alkalis, water and aqueous solutions. Because the selected lining material is not only a good electrical insulator, but also has corrosion resistance.
- Electromagnetic water flow meter is widely used in mud services. Not only because they are less blocking. And because some linings (such as polyurethane, neoprene, and rubber) have good abrasion or corrosion resistance.
- Electromagnetic water flow meter can handle extremely low flow.
Disadvantages of electromagnetic flowmeter
- Electromagnetic water flow meter can only be used for fluids with proper conductivity.
- The accuracy is only within the range of ± 1% within the flow range of 5%.
- The size and cost of the excitation coil and circuit increase disproportionately to the size of the tube hole. Therefore, the small-sized Electromagnetic water flow meter is bulky and expensive.

Q&A
How does a magnetic inductive flow meter work?
The electromagnetic flowmeter is a flowmeter that measures flow according to Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction.
Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, a fluid with a certain conductivity flows through the measuring tube, and the cutting line of force will induce an electromotive force E. The electromotive force E is proportional to the product of the magnetic flux density B, the inner diameter d of the measuring tube, and the average flow velocity V. The electromotive force E (flow signal) is detected by the electrodes and sent to the converter through the cable. After the converter amplifies the flow signal, it can display the fluid flow and output pulses and analog current signals for flow control and adjustment.
Where can you use a magnetic flow meter?
- General-purpose electromagnetic flowmeter is used in metallurgy, petrochemical, papermaking, textile, water supply and drainage, and sewage treatment. The general electromagnetic flowmeter in the industrial field is the main type of electromagnetic flowmeter. There is a range requirement for the conductivity of the measured medium, which generally cannot exceed its upper and lower limits.
- Explosion-proof type of electromagnetic flowmeter is used in places with explosive atmosphere. Due to the large magnetic current energy, the flameproof type is still the main type. In recent years, an intrinsically safe type, that is, a safe spark type electromagnetic flowmeter, has appeared in foreign countries, and the exciting power has been greatly reduced. Can be made into one type, all work in hazardous areas.
- Hygienic electromagnetic flowmeter is used in industries such as medicine, food, food and biochemistry. In terms of regular bacteria, easy to disassemble and clean, it must meet the relevant sanitary requirements.
- Water-proof electromagnetic flowmeter is used to be installed under the ground, and can withstand short-term water immersion.
- The submersible electromagnetic flowmeter is used to measure the flow when the free surface of the open channel or non-full pipe underdrain is free flowing. The sensor is under the open channel interception baffle and works under long-term immersion in water. The structure and use are different from general electromagnetic flow meters.
- Plug-in electromagnetic flowmeter is used for large-diameter electromagnetic flow sensor. The sensor is inserted radially from the opening of the pipe to measure the local flow rate to estimate the flow. Lower accuracy, but cheaper, suitable for control systems.
How does a flow meter work?
A flow meter works by measuring the amount of liquid, gas, or vapor flowing through or around a flow meter sensor. Flowmeter sensors work differently, but have the same end goal: to provide the most accurate and repeatable flow measurement for a specific application, whether it is process control, routine research activities, or semiconductor processing.
Flow meters measure volume or mass. The flow (Q) is equal to the cross-sectional area of the pipe (A) in the volumetric flowmeter, and the velocity (v) of the flowing fluid: Q = A * v. The mass flow rate can be expressed as follows: ṁ = Q ∗ ρ (where Q is the volume flow rate and ρ is the fluid density).
In many cases, especially in combustion, chemical reactions, or buying and selling gases, mass flow rate is a key consideration.
