How electromagnetic flowmeter Works
Frequently Asked Questions
How does an electromagnetic flowmeter work?
A conductive liquid moving through a magnetic field generates voltage. The electrodes detect it, and the converter calculates flow rate and total volume.
What measurement accuracy is available?
Many Supmea electromagnetic flowmeters offer ±0.5% accuracy. Selected models and pipe sizes may achieve higher accuracy under specified conditions.
Which outputs and communication protocols are supported?
Depending on the model, options include 4–20 mA, pulse, RS485, Modbus RTU and HART for connection to PLC, DCS or monitoring systems.
How do I choose between compact and remote types?
Choose compact type for simple, accessible installation. Choose remote type for vibration, flooding, high temperature or hard-to-access locations.
What liquids can electromagnetic flowmeters measure?
They measure conductive liquids such as water, wastewater, acids, alkalis, chemical solutions, slurry and pulp in closed pipes.
Can an electromagnetic flowmeter measure gas, steam or oil?
No. It requires a conductive liquid, so it is unsuitable for gas, steam and most non-conductive oils or hydrocarbons.
What is the minimum conductivity required?
It varies by model. Some Supmea models require over 2 μS/cm, while others require 30 or 50 μS/cm. Check the selected datasheet.
