The FMC400 insertion electromagnetic flowmeter is a new type of flow meter developed from the in-line electromagnetic flowmeter. While retaining the advantages of the in-line electromagnetic flowmeter, it addresses the disadvantages of the latter, such as difficulty in installation and high cost in large pipelines. Based on the Nikulatus principle, it measures the average velocity of the fluid to obtain the volumetric flow rate. In particular, by employing pressurized drilling and installation technology, the insertion electromagnetic flowmeter can be installed without interrupting water flow and can be installed on cast iron and cement pipelines. The successful development of the insertion electromagnetic flowmeter provides a new method for fluid flow measurement.
The sensor mainly consists of a detection probe, a mounting flange, and a junction box (for split-type installations). The sensor is shaped like a cylinder with a mounting flange, and the cylindrical cavity contains an excitation coil for electromagnetic excitation, a magnetic coil, and two electrodes of a magnetic core that are in contact with the fluid.
