Converter Circuit Structure

Product Structure

The structure of the electromagnetic flowmeter is mainly composed of a magnetic circuit system, measuring conduit, electrodes, housing and converter. The components of the magnetic circuit system, measuring conduit electrodes and housing are called electromagnetic sensors.

1. Magnetic circuit system : Its role is to produce a uniform DC or AC magnetic field.
2. Measuring conduit : Its function is to pass the conductive medium to be tested. In order to prevent the magnetic flux from being shunted or short-circuited when the magnetic flux passes through the measuring conduit, the measuring conduit must adopt non-magnetic permeability, low electrical conductivity, low thermal conductivity and certain mechanical strength. Made of materials, stainless steel, glass reinforced plastic, high-strength plastic and other materials which are non-magnetic.
3. Electrode : Its function is to draw and measure the induced potential signal proportional to it. The electrodes are typically made of non-magnetically conductive Hastelloy C and are required to be flush with the liner so that the fluid passes unimpeded.
4. Lining : There is a complete electrical insulation lining on the inside of the measuring tube and on the flange sealing surface. It directly contacts the medium to be measured, and its function is to increase the corrosion resistance of the measuring conduit and prevent the induced potential from being short-circuited by the metal measuring tube wall. Lining materials are mostly corrosion resistant, high-temperature resistant, wear-resistant rubber, fluoroplastics, ceramics, etc.
5. Converter : The induced potential signal generated by the flow of the medium is very weak and is greatly affected by various interference factors. The function of the converter is to amplify and convert the induced potential signal into a unified standard signal and suppress the main interference signal. Its task is to amplify and convert the induced potential signal detected by the electrode into a unified standard DC signal.

Straight Pipe Length Requirements
For optimum accuracy performance, sufficient inlet and outlet straight pipe are required.An equivalent to 5 diameters of straight pipe is required on the inlet side, and 2 diameters on the outlet side. There are no special requirements for standard concentric pipe reducers. See Diagram 2 for required straight runs when there is an altering device.
