Product Details

In modern industrial production, precise monitoring and control of fluid flow is a key link to ensure production efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and ensure safety.Intelligent electromagnetic flowmeterAs a flow measurement device that integrates electromagnetic induction technology and intelligent digital technology, it has become the core equipment for fluid measurement in industries such as chemical, water treatment, metallurgy, food and medicine, thanks to its advantages of no mechanical wear, high measurement accuracy, strong anti-interference ability, and wide functional scalability. Compared with traditional flow measurement instruments, it not only achieves accurate collection of flow data, but also endows equipment with data processing, remote interconnection, automation control and other capabilities through intelligent modules, providing important data support for industrial automation and digital transformation.

1、 Product definition and core advantages: redefining fluid measurement standards

Intelligent electromagnetic flowmeterIt is an intelligent instrument based on Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, used to measure the volumetric flow rate of conductive liquids. It integrates a microprocessor (MCU), digital signal processing chip, industrial communication module, and multifunctional display unit on the basis of traditional electromagnetic flow meters, which can convert raw flow signals into digital information that can be analyzed, transmitted, and controlled, achieving a leap from "single measurement" to "intelligent management". Its core advantages are mainly reflected in the following four aspects:

(1) High measurement accuracy and strong stability

Intelligent electromagnetic flowmeterBy adopting advanced excitation technologies such as low-frequency square wave excitation and dual frequency excitation, it can effectively eliminate pipeline vibration, external electromagnetic interference (such as interference generated by motors and frequency converters), and the influence of electrode polarization on measurement. At the same time, the device is equipped with built-in digital filtering algorithms (Kalman filter, sliding average filter) and multi parameter compensation functions (temperature compensation, pressure compensation), which can correct the influence of medium temperature and pressure changes on measurement results, ensuring high-precision measurement under complex working conditions - the measurement accuracy of conventional models can reach ± 0.5% FS, and some models can even reach ± 0.2% R, far superior to the measurement performance of traditional instruments such as turbine flowmeters and vortex street flowmeters in complex media.

(2) No mechanical wear and tear, long service life

Unlike instruments such as turbine flow meters and waist wheel flow meters that rely on mechanical rotating components,Intelligent electromagnetic flowmeterThere are no movable parts inside the measuring tube, and measurement is only achieved by collecting induced electromotive force through electrodes. This "contactless" measurement method avoids wear and blockage problems of mechanical components, especially suitable for fluids containing particles and fibers (such as slurry, pulp, sewage). Under normal maintenance, the service life of the equipment can reach more than 10 years, significantly reducing the replacement cost and maintenance workload of the enterprise.

(3) Fully functional and adaptable to automation needs

Intelligent electromagnetic flowmeterBreaking through the limitations of traditional instruments that can only measure, it has rich intelligent functions: firstly, multi parameter display, real-time display of instantaneous flow rate, cumulative flow rate, fluid velocity, medium temperature, equipment working status and other information through LCD/OLED display screen, without the need for additional connection to display instruments; The second is automated control, which supports flow upper and lower limit alarms. When the flow exceeds the set range, control signals can be output through relays to achieve automatic start stop of pumps and valves, forming closed-loop control; The third is data storage and traceability, which can store historical traffic data at 1-minute/1-hour intervals (with a storage capacity of tens of thousands of records), support USB or SD card export, and facilitate energy consumption statistics and production process optimization for enterprises; The fourth is fault self diagnosis, which can monitor electrode status, excitation coil faults, air traffic control operation and other abnormal situations in real time, and help operation and maintenance personnel quickly locate problems through sound and light alarms or data signal feedback.

(4) Strong communication and interconnection capabilities, integrated into the industrial Internet of Things

To meet the demands of industrial automation and digitization,Intelligent electromagnetic flowmeterBuilt in multiple industrial communication modules, supporting mainstream communication protocols: In close range scenarios, it can be connected to PLC, frequency converter and other devices through RS485 interface (with Modbus RTU protocol) to achieve data transmission within a range of hundreds of meters; In the intelligent instrument system, bidirectional communication can be achieved through the HART protocol, and operation and maintenance personnel can remotely modify equipment parameters (such as range, unit, alarm threshold) through the upper computer without on-site operation; In the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) scenario, some models support industrial Ethernet protocols such as Profinet and EtherNet/IP, or integrate 5G and LoRa wireless communication modules, which can upload traffic data in real time to the factory cloud platform, achieve centralized monitoring of multiple devices, cross plant data sharing, and provide data support for enterprise digital management.

2、 Core technology composition of the product: hardware and software foundation to ensure performance

Intelligent electromagnetic flowmeterThe high performance energy comes from its precise hardware structure and advanced software algorithms. The core technology can be divided into two parts: hardware system and software system

(1) Hardware system: the physical foundation for stable operation

The hardware system consists of four major modules: measurement unit, excitation unit, signal processing unit, and intelligent control unit. Each module works together to ensure the accuracy and stability of flow measurement
  1. Measurement unitThe core components are the measuring tube, electrode, and lining. The measuring tube is made of stainless steel or carbon steel material, and the inner wall is lined with insulating materials (such as PTFE, natural rubber, ceramics), which not only prevent the interference of liquid and metal tube wall conductivity in measurement, but also resist medium corrosion; The electrodes are installed on both sides of the inner wall of the measuring tube, in direct contact with the fluid, for collecting induced electromotive force. Common materials include 316L stainless steel, Hastelloy C276, titanium alloy, etc., which can be flexibly selected according to the corrosiveness of the medium; The lining material is selected based on the characteristics of the medium and the operating temperature and pressure. For example, PTFE lining is suitable for strong acid and alkali, high temperature (≤ 180 ℃) scenarios, while ceramic lining is suitable for high wear slurry and sediment media.

  1. Excitation unitComposed of an excitation coil and an excitation power supply, it is used to generate a uniform and stable magnetic field inside the measuring tube. The excitation coil is wound with high-strength enameled wire and has a shielding layer between it and the measuring tube, which can reduce the interference of magnetic field leakage on surrounding equipment; The excitation power supply can provide stable excitation current and output DC, AC or low-frequency square wave excitation signals according to the working conditions. DC excitation is suitable for low polarization media, while AC and low-frequency square wave excitation can effectively eliminate electrode polarization and external interference, and are currently the mainstream excitation methods.

  1. signal processing unitIncluding signal amplification circuit, filtering circuit, and A/D conversion circuit. The induced electromotive force collected by electrodes is usually in the range of several millivolts or even microvolts, and the signal amplification circuit can amplify weak signals to a manageable range; The filtering circuit eliminates noise signals such as pipeline vibration and electromagnetic interference through digital filtering algorithms; The A/D conversion circuit converts analog signals into digital signals and transmits them to the intelligent control unit for processing.

  1. Intelligent control unitUsing a microprocessor (MCU) as the core, integrating components such as display screens, buttons, communication interfaces, relay output interfaces, etc., it is the "brain" of the device. The microprocessor is responsible for receiving digital signals, converting flow data through built-in algorithms, and controlling the display screen to display information; At the same time, it can process external instructions (such as remote parameter modification), control relay output alarms or control signals, and achieve automation functions; The communication interface provides a channel for data transmission, ensuring the interconnection between devices and external systems.

(2) Software System: The Core of Intelligent Function Implementation

The software system is developed based on embedded operating systems, including traffic calculation algorithms, digital filtering algorithms, compensation algorithms, communication protocol stacks, fault diagnosis algorithms, etc. It is the key to achieving "intelligence" of devices:
  1. Traffic calculation algorithmAccording to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the induced electromotive force collected by the electrode is converted into flow velocity, and then combined with the cross-sectional area of the measuring tube to calculate the volumetric flow rate, ensuring the accuracy of the calculation results.

  1. Digital filtering algorithmBy using algorithms such as Kalman filtering and sliding average filtering, external electromagnetic interference and noise signals generated by pipeline vibration are eliminated to ensure the stability of the original data.

  1. compensation algorithmRegarding the fluid density affected by the thermal expansion and contraction of the measuring tube and pressure changes caused by the temperature changes of the medium, relevant parameters are collected through temperature sensors and pressure sensors, and the compensation formula is used to correct the flow data, further improving the measurement accuracy.

  1. Communication protocol stackIntegrate communication protocols such as Modbus RTU, HART, Profinet, etc. to achieve standardized data exchange between devices and external systems, ensuring communication stability and compatibility.

  1. Fault diagnosis algorithmReal time monitoring of parameters such as electrode impedance, excitation current, and flow signal fluctuations. When abnormalities are detected (such as electrode scaling, excitation coil open circuit, or empty tube operation), a fault alarm is triggered and a fault code is output through a display screen or communication signal to help operation and maintenance personnel quickly troubleshoot the problem.

3、 Product Classification and Model Selection: Adapting to Diverse Needs in Different Scenarios

Based on the differences in installation methods, structural forms, and application scenarios,Intelligent electromagnetic flowmeterIt can be divided into different types, and enterprises can choose suitable products according to their actual needs:

(3) Metallurgical industry: reliable measurement of high wear and high conductivity dielectrics

In scenarios such as slurry transportation, electrolyte circulation, and cooling water metering in the metallurgical industry, fluids contain a large amount of particles (such as slag and metal debris), have strong abrasion resistance, and high conductivity. Traditional turbine flow meters are prone to accuracy degradation due to wear and tearIntelligent electromagnetic flowmeterBy using ceramic lining and titanium alloy electrodes, it can resist the erosion of high wear media and extend its service life. For example, in the slurry conveying pipeline, a split type electromagnetic flowmeter with alumina ceramic lining and titanium alloy electrode is selected, and the flow rate is controlled at 1.5-2m/s, which not only reduces lining wear but also ensures measurement accuracy; In the electrolyte circulation system, the fault self diagnosis function of the equipment can monitor the electrode scaling situation in real time, avoid measurement errors caused by scaling, and ensure the stable operation of the electrolysis process.
