3 tips when buying an electromagnetic flowmeter(1)
Choosing an electromagnetic flowmeter requires a bit of knowledge about what is being measured. Both gas and liquid can be quantified using gauges that compute the flow at kilograms per second or liters per second in relation to the density of the material. Each device is different and you can't use the same meter for both wastewater plant and potable water, for example. But choosing one that's perfect for you will not be as difficult if you follow the tips below.
Make a checklist.
What is the material to be measured: is it liquid or gas? If so, what type of liquid or gas are you working with? Is the liquid dirty or clean? Do you want the process the information manually or remotely? What about the temperature conditions of the plant and the material, are they hot or cold? Measuring hot water may need a gauge that will compensate for the change in temperature to get an accurate reading. Make sure you consider in your checklist the following: the liquid viscosity, corrosive and conductive properties, toxicity if applicable, and type of piping. When dealing with gases, make sure you list down if it's wet, corrosive, toxic, combustible, or clean.
There are sewage flowmeter or water flowmeters to choose from such as differential pressure flowmeter, turbine flowmeter, electromagnetic flowmeter, nozzle flowmeter, open channel flowmeter and so on.
