Product details

The LDE series integrated electromagnetic flowmeter is a high-precision and highly reliable flow instrument designed using Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. The main components of the sensor are the measuring tube, electrode, excitation coil, iron core, and magnetic yoke housing. The integrated electromagnetic flowmeter is mainly used to measure the volumetric flow rate of conductive liquids and slurries in closed pipelines. Including highly corrosive liquids such as acids, alkalis, salts, etc. This product is widely used in industrial sectors such as petroleum, chemical, metallurgical, textile, papermaking, environmental protection, food, as well as municipal management, water conservancy construction, river dredging and other fields for flow measurement.
LDEThe intelligent electromagnetic flowmeter is a fluid measurement instrument developed, researched, and produced using advanced technology, characterized by high precision, high reliability, and long service life. To ensure product quality, meticulous research and control are carried out at every stage of the product structure, material selection, process formulation, production assembly, and factory testing, and a complete flow calibration and detection system is provided. Electromagnetic flow meters can not only meet on-site display requirements, but also output 4-20mA current signals for recording, regulation, and control. They have been widely used in industrial technology and management departments such as chemical, environmental protection, metallurgy, medicine, papermaking, and water supply and drainage.
In addition to measuring the flow rate of general conductive liquids, electromagnetic flow meters can also measure the volumetric flow rate of liquid-solid two-phase flow, high viscosity liquid flow, and salt, strong acid, and strong alkali liquids.
◆CLASSIFICATION
LCDThe series of intelligent electromagnetic flow meters are divided into two types according to installation methods: pipeline type and plug-in type. Both types consist of sensors and intelligent signal converters; According to the assembly form of converters and sensors, they can be divided into two types of structures: integrated and split. Integrated: The converter and sensor are directly assembled as a whole and cannot be separated. Commonly used in sites with good environmental conditions. Split type: The converter is composed of a dedicated cable and a sensor to form a product, with the sensor installed on site and the converter installed in a location with better conditions. Commonly used in sites with poor environmental conditions, such as underground wells, high temperatures, and places that are difficult for personnel to reach. Pipeline type is generally suitable for measuring small and medium-sized diameters, and can be customized in special cases. Insertion type is generally suitable for measuring flow rate in larger diameter pipelines.
◆Product Features
1The electromagnetic flowmeter has no blocking components inside, and there is almost no pressure loss or fluid blockage.
2No mechanical inertia, fast response, wide flow measurement range (flow velocity 0.3~12m/s), good stability, can be used for automatic detection, adjustment, and program control systems.
3Measuring liquids with conductivity greater than 5u S/cm, the measurement is not affected by changes in fluid density, viscosity, temperature, pressure, and conductivity. The sensor induced voltage signal is linearly related to the average velocity, and the measurement accuracy is high.
4Accuracy levels: 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5. Meet the needs of different users.
5The sensor part only has the inner lining and electrodes in contact with the measured liquid. As long as suitable electrode and inner lining materials are selected, it can be corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant.
6Electromagnetic flow scoring is divided into conventional type (pressure less than 4.0MPa) and high-pressure type (pressure greater than 4.0MPa).

◆Working principle
The measurement principle of electromagnetic flowmeter is based on Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. The measuring tube of the flowmeter is a non-magnetic alloy short tube lined with insulating material. Two electrodes are fixed on the measuring tube by passing through the tube wall along the diameter direction. The electrode tip is basically flush with the inner surface of the lining. When the excitation coil is excited by bidirectional square wave pulses, a working magnetic field with a magnetic flux density of B will be generated in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the measuring tube. At this point, if a fluid with a certain conductivity flows through the measuring tube, an electromotive force E will be induced by cutting the magnetic field lines. The electromotive force E is proportional to the magnetic flux density B. The inner diameter d of the measuring tube is multiplied by the average flow velocity v. The electromotive force E (flow signal) is detected by the electrode and sent to the converter through a cable. After amplifying and processing the flow signal, the converter can display the fluid flow rate and output signals such as pulses and analog currents for flow control and regulation.
E=KBdV
In the formula, E - represents the signal voltage (v) between the electrodes
B----Magnetic flux density (T)
d----Measure the inner diameter of the tube (m)
V----Average flow velocity (m/s)
In the equation, K and d are constants. Since the excitation current is constant, B is also constant. Therefore, from E=KBdV, it can be seen that the volume flow rate Q is proportional to the signal voltage E, that is, the signal voltage E induced by the flow velocity is linearly related to the volume flow rate Q. Therefore, as long as E is measured, the flow rate Q can be determined, which is the basic working principle of electromagnetic flowmeter.
According to E=KBdV, parameters such as temperature, density, pressure, conductivity, and liquid-solid composition ratio of the measured fluid medium will not affect the measurement results. As for the flow state, as long as it conforms to axisymmetric flow (such as laminar or turbulent flow), it will not affect the measurement results. Therefore, electromagnetic flowmeter is a true volumetric flowmeter. For manufacturers and users, as long as ordinary water is used for actual calibration, the volumetric flow rate of any other conductive fluid medium can be measured without any correction. This is a prominent advantage of electromagnetic flow meters, which is not available in any other flow meters. There are no active or obstructed components inside the measuring tube, so there is almost no pressure loss and it has high reliability.

◆LDESelection of series electromagnetic flowmeter instruments:
1. Range confirmation:
The ideal flow velocity for the measured medium in a general industrial integrated electromagnetic flowmeter is 2-4m/s. In special cases, the minimum flow velocity should not be less than 0.2m/s and the maximum should not be greater than 8m/s. If the medium contains solid particles, the commonly used flow rate should be less than 3m/s to prevent excessive friction between the lining and the electrode; For viscous fluids, the flow velocity can be chosen to be greater than 2m/s. A higher flow velocity helps to automatically eliminate the effect of viscous substances attached to the electrode, which is beneficial for improving measurement accuracy.
Under the condition that the range Q has been determined, the size of the flowmeter diameter D can be determined based on the range of flow velocity V mentioned above, and its value can be calculated by the following formula:
Q=πD2V/4
Q: Flow rate (㎡/h) D: Inner diameter of pipeline V: Flow rate (m/h)
2. The range Q of the integrated electromagnetic flowmeter should be greater than the expected maximum flow value, and the normal flow value should be slightly greater than 50 of the flowmeter's full-scale scale.

◆ Selection of installation location:
In order to ensure stable operation of the transmitter, the following requirements should be noted when selecting the installation location:
1) Try to avoid ferromagnetic objects and specific equipment with strong electromagnetic fields (such as large motors, transformers, etc.) to prevent the magnetic field from affecting the working magnetic field and flow information of the sensor.
2) It should be installed in a dry and ventilated place as much as possible, and should not be installed in damp or water prone areas.
3) Try to avoid direct sunlight and rain, and avoid environments with temperatures above 45 ℃ and relative humidity greater than 95%
4) Choose a place that is easy to maintain and has convenient activities
5) The flowmeter should be installed at the rear end of the water pump and must not be installed on the suction side; The valve should be installed on the downstream side of the flowmeter.

How to install on pipelines:
It should be installed at the lower and vertically upward positions of the horizontal pipeline, avoiding installation at the highest point and vertically downward position of the pipeline;

Should be installed at the rising point on the pipeline;

When installing an open discharge pipeline, it should be installed at the lower part of the pipeline;

If the pipeline drop exceeds 5m, install an exhaust valve downstream of the sensor;

Control valves and shut-off valves should be installed downstream of the sensor, rather than upstream of the sensor;

Sensors should never be installed at the inlet and outlet of the pump, but rather at the outlet of the pump;

Method of installing flow meters in measuring wells

1. Entrance | 2. Overflow pipe | 3. Entrance barrier | 4. Cleaning hole |
5. Flow meter | 6. Short tube | 7. Export | 8. Discharge valve |
How to choose the installation node correctly:
Choosing the correct installation point and installing the flow meter correctly are both very important steps. If there is a mistake in the installation process, it can affect the measurement accuracy in mild cases, the service life of the flow meter in severe cases, and even damage the flow meter.
Special attention should be paid when selecting the installation location:
·The axis of the non measuring electrode must be approximately horizontal;

·The measuring pipeline must be completely filled with liquid;

·There should be a minimum of 5 * D (D is the inner diameter of the flowmeter) of straight pipe section in front of the flowmeter, and a minimum of 3 * D (D is the inner diameter of the flowmeter) of straight pipe section behind it;
·The flow direction of the fluid is consistent with the arrow direction of the flowmeter;
·Vacuum inside the pipeline can damage the lining of the flowmeter, so special attention should be paid;
·There should be no strong electromagnetic field near the flowmeter;
·There should be ample space near the flowmeter for installation and maintenance;
·If there is vibration in the measuring pipeline, there should be fixed supports on both sides of the flowmeter. When measuring mixed liquids of different media, the distance between the mixing point and the flowmeter should be at least 30 × D (D is the inner diameter of the flowmeter). To facilitate the cleaning and maintenance of the flowmeter in the future, a bypass pipeline should be installed;
