Battery Powered Electromagnetic Flow Meter with Locally Shrunk Measurement Pipe

Abstract:

Based on computer simulation, a new measurement pipe design with locally shrunk cross section is proposed for electromagnetic flow transducer. The efficiency of the magnetic field excitation circuit is effectively enhanced. The sensitivity of the transducer is increased. The transducer design is adopted in a battery powered electromagnetic flow meter prototype to reduce the power consumption. The prototype was tested. The feasibility of the proposed design was proved.
