SI-3107 Insertion Magnetic Flow Meter

An insertion magnetic flow meter is a flow meter based on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. It is primarily used to measure the volumetric flow rate of conductive liquids in large-diameter closed pipes. It can be installed under pressure, allowing installation without shutting off the water supply. This provides a novel method for measuring and installing liquid flow.

Features

HOT TAP INSTALLATION

For applications where the Insertion magnetic flow meter will be installed in pressurized pipes, use the optional Hot Tap Installation Hardware Kit.
It includes a branch outlet, close nipple and 1-1/4″ full port ball valve.

INSTALLATION IS EASY

The Insertion Magmeter installs in the pipe through a full port ball valve so the sensor can be easily retracted without having to shut down flow or drain the system. The insertion depth is adjustable according to the pipe diameter. An insertion depth gage is supplied with each flowmeter.

NO PRESSURE DROP

The sensor structure of the electromagnetic flowmeter is relatively simple, and it is one of the flowmeters with the lowest energy consumption in the flowmeters. There are no moving parts in the measuring tube and no throttling part that blocks the flow of fluid and does not cause any additional pressure loss when the fluid passes through the flow meter.

  • The insertion flowmeter’s unique design allows for easy installation and removal under low-pressure, non-stop operation.
  • It utilizes advanced low-frequency square wave excitation. It features a stable zero point, strong anti-interference capabilities, and reliable operation.
  • Measurement accuracy is unaffected by changes in the measured medium’s physical parameters, such as temperature, pressure, density, and conductivity.
  • It offers lower manufacturing and installation costs than conventional electromagnetic flowmeters, especially for pipes DN150 to DN3000.
  • An EEPROM protects set parameters and accumulated flow values ​​during power outages.
  • The converter utilizes a low-power single-chip microcomputer for data processing, offering reliable performance, high accuracy, low power consumption, and a stable zero point.
  • A dot-matrix LCD displays parameters such as accumulated flow, instantaneous flow, flow velocity, and flow percentage.
  • The bidirectional measurement system measures both forward and reverse flow.
  • It operates with virtually no pressure drop and extremely low energy consumption.
  • Power supply options include AC220V and DC24V.

Insertion Magnetic Flow Meter Applications

Raw Water

A Municipal Power Plant was required to monitor its usage of raw water from the Intracoastal Waterway. Lines varied in size from 36 inches to 64 inches and were approximately 10 feet underground.

Install an Insertion magnetic flow meter​ via a “Wet Tap” procedure to measure the intake and return of the raw water lines. The meters were required to operate underwater (IP 68) due to flooding conditions. The electronics converter was installed in a control room 300 feet away from the sensors.

Food Industry

The sensor of the electromagnetic flowmeter is easily disassembled, which is convenient for cleaning and is convenient for steam sterilization on a regular basis. Therefore, in the health industry, electromagnetic flowmeters must comply with hygienic specifications.

Our product is widely used in these industries:

  • Potable Water
  • Water Distribution
  • Pumping Stations
  • Filter Balancing and Backwash
  • Reclaimed Water
  • Treated Water
  • Irrigation Water
  • Cooling Water
  • Raw Water

Insertion Magnetic Flow Meter Working Principle

The insertion magnetic flowmeter is based on Faraday’s law.When measuring flow, a liquid flows through a magnetic field perpendicular to the direction of flow and induces a voltage proportional to the average flow rate (volume flow). Its induced voltage signal is detected through two electrodes that are in direct contact with the liquid. Voltage signal will be transmitted to the smart transmitter through a dedicated cable. The smart transmitter performs calculations based on the magnitude of the electric potential and the mathematical model of the electromagnetic flow. And converts it into a flow signal for on-site display. Including instantaneous and cumulative quantities can be display. Then output the standard 4 ~ 20MA and 1 ~ 5VDC signals to the flow secondary meter or DCS. 

How does a magnetic flow meter work

Faraday’s Formula
E is proportional to V x B x D where:

E = The voltage generated in a conductor
V = The velocity of the conductor
B = The magnetic field strength
D = The length of the conductor

Q&A

The insertion electromagnetic flowmeter is composed of insertion electromagnetic sensor and electromagnetic flow converter used to measure the conductive liquid that electrical conductivity is greater than 5 us/cm.
Insertion Type Electromagnetic Flow Meter is an ideal solution for water flow measurements in large diameter pipes. Most economical as compared to its counterpart in full bore measurement or ultrasonic measurement. Insertion Type Electromagnetic Flow Meter is an ideal solution for water flow measurements in large diameter pipes.

The Insertion Magmeter operates based on Faraday’s Law of electromagnetic induction: as flow velocity of liquid increases through the magnetic field generated by the sensor head of the flow meter, electrodes measure the voltage increase to calculate flow. Accurately Four electrodes measure the induced voltage on opposite sides of the sensor. The voltage readings are sampled and averaged.

For each application, locate the longest straight, unobstructed section of pipe (no bends, tees, valves, other insertion probes, size transitions). The longest straight pipe run in inches divided by nominal pipe size in inches equals “diameters of straight pipe.”
