Seven, according to excitation methods of classification:
To produce a uniform constant magnetic field, it needs to choose a suitable way of excitation.Such as divided according to the field current mode, have a dc field, ac (or other frequency) power frequency excitation, low-frequency rectangular wave excitation and dual-band rectangular wave excitation.
1, the dc excitation
Dc excitation method with direct current (dc) or use a magnet to produce a uniform magnetic field is constant.The dc excitation transmitter is affected by the ac electromagnetic interference is very small, so you can ignore the influence of the liquid in the self inductance.But using dc magnetic field is easy to make by measuring the electrolyte fluid of the pipe is polarized, the electrolyte by electrolysis in the electric field, produce positive and negative ions, in under the action of electric field force, ran to the anode, anion cation ran to the cathode, which will result in positive and negative electrodes were surrounded by ions of opposite polarity, seriously affect the normal work of the instrument.So, dc excitation only commonly used for measuring the liquid electrolyte, such as the liquid metal flow of mercury (room temperature and high temperature of liquid steel, lithium, potassium), etc.
2, ac excitation
Industrial use of electromagnetic flowmeter, most used (50 hz) power supply power frequency ac excitation method to produce alternating magnetic field, to avoid the dc excitation on the surface of the electrode polarization interference.But the use of ac excitation will bring a series of electromagnetic interference problem, such as orthogonal interference, in-phase interference, zero drift, etc.).Ac excitation is now replaced by low frequency square wave excitation.
3, low frequency square wave excitation
Low frequency square wave excitation waveform has two values (positive - negative) and three values (positive - zero - negative - zero) two kinds, the frequency of power frequency usually 1/2 ~ 1/32.Low frequency square wave excitation can avoid orthogonal electromagnetic interference of ac magnetic field, power frequency interference caused by distributed capacitance, inhibition of ac magnetic field within the tube wall and fluid caused by eddy current, dc excitation polarization phenomenon.
Eight, main advantages and disadvantages are as follows:
1, the sensor structure is simple, the measuring tube has no moving parts, no obstacles to fluid flow throttling components.So when the fluid flow through timing does not cause any additional pressure loss, flow meter is running in one of the flowmeters zui low energy consumption.
2, measurable smudges medium, corrosive medium and clouding the liquid-solid two phase flow of traffic.This is due to internal unimpeded flow meter tube parts, and the measurement of body contact is sounding pipe lining and electrode, the materials can choose according to the nature of the current body.For example, made from poly three fluoride or ptfe lining, can measure all kinds of acid, alkali, salt and other corrosive medium.Adopt wear-resisting rubber lining, is especially suitable for measuring with solid particle slurry, water slurry, wear a large liquid-solid two phase flow and various liquid with fiber and pulp suspension.
3, is a kind of volume flow measuring instrument, in the process of measurement, it is not affected by the temperature of the measured medium, viscosity and density with conductivity (in a certain range.Therefore, electromagnetic flowmeter only after water calibration, it can used to measure the conductivity of liquid flow.
4, output is proportional to the average flow velocity of the measured medium, and under the symmetric distribution of flow (laminar flow and turbulent flow).So the electromagnetic flowmeter range very wide range, the measurement range can be up to 100:1, some even up to 1000:1 working flow range.
5, no mechanical inertia, responsive, can measure the instantaneous pulse flow, also can measure the rate of flow of positive and negative two directions.
6, caliber, very wide range from a few millimeters to a few meters, and the domestic existing diameter up to 3 m's real flow calibration equipment, laid the groundwork for the application and development of electromagnetic flowmeter.
There is still the main deficiencies are as follows:
1, cannot be used for measuring gas, steam and liquid contains a lot of gas.
2, low cannot be used to measure the conductivity of liquid medium, such as the petroleum products or organic solvent such as medium, the electromagnetic flowmeter is powerless.
3, ordinary electromagnetic flow meter used in industry due to the measuring tube lined with the limitation of materials and electrical insulation materials, can not be used in measuring high temperature medium;If without special treatment, also cannot be used for the measurement of low temperature medium, in order to prevent the measuring tube condensation (frost) destruction of insulation.
4, the influence of electromagnetic flowmeter vulnerable to external electromagnetic interference.
Nine,The installation of the flowmeter requirements:
The choice of installation environment
1, should as far as possible away from strong electromagnetic field equipment.Such as big motor, transformer, etc.
2, the installation place should not have a strong vibration, environmental temperature change is not big.
3, easy to install and maintenance.
The choice of the installation position
1, sensors, flow mark on the direction of the measured medium flow and the pipe must be consistent.
2, installation location must ensure that the measuring tube in the book is full of measured medium.
3, and the choice of fluid flow pulse smaller places, which should be far away from the pump and local resistance (valve, elbow, etc.)
4, the measurement of two-phase fluid, should choose is not easy to cause the location of the phase separation.
A negative pressure, avoid installed in a tube of five places.
6, when makes the electrode measured medium, measure the tube inner surface adhesion, scaling, suggest the measuring tube flow velocity of no less than 2 m/s.
At this time can use reducing pipe diameter slightly smaller than the process.For uninterrupted flow in the process piping cleaning electrode and the measuring tube, sensor can be used parallel installations, and cleaning.
The choice of the installation site 
In order to make the transmitter work stability, when choosing the location should be paid attention to the following requirements: 
1, try to avoid strong ferromagnetic objects and concrete equipment of electromagnetic field (such as a big motor, transformer, etc.), so as to avoid the magnetic field of magnetic field effect sensor and traffic information. 
2, should be installed in a dry and ventilated place, should not be in damp, easy seeper place of installation. 
3, should try to avoid weathered, avoid environmental temperature is higher than 45 ℃ and relative humidity is more than 95.9%. 
4, choose to facilitate maintenance and convenient place. 
5, flow meter should be installed in the pump back end, never on the suction side of the installation;Valve should be installed in the downstream flow meters. 
Ten, notable matters of installation:
1, the electromagnetic flowmeter sensor should be installed vertically, and fluid flows from bottom to top, in order to meet the solid and liquid two is in a state of mixed.The reason is that if there is solid in the medium (sand, gravel particles, etc.) are prone to precipitation.Have fish and weeds in another line of fish swimming in the pipeline, will cause the flowmeter output swing;Hang back and forth near the electrode weeds can also cause the output of the meter is not stable.Set at the entrance of upstream flow meter metal screen blocking fish and weeds into the measuring tube.
2, the electromagnetic flowmeter to prevent negative pressure pipe set improper operation will cause negative pressure sensor inside.When closed, downstream of the valve in the flow meter at the same time, if the temperature is higher than the temperature of the fluid.Contraction after cooling, the pipe pressure is in danger of forming negative pressure.The negative pressure caused by the lining and metal vessel, cause leakage electrode.
3, near the electromagnetic flowmeter with negative pressure to prevent valve, open the valve on atmospheric pressure, in order to prevent to produce negative pressure in the sensor.Electromagnetic flowmeter downstream by a vertical line, if use flow upstream of the valve to close or adjust the flow sensor, the sensor will form a negative pressure measuring tube.In order to prevent negative pressure, need to add back pressure or use downstream to adjust and close the flow valve.
4, proper maintenance space, large diameter flowmeter are often installed in instrument well, for pipe installation, wiring, inspection and maintenance convenience, need to have the appropriate space.For observation, connection and maintenance convenience, instrument installation should have a certain height from ground, in order to facilitate cleaning, installation.

1, collect data:

By measurement of body composition;
Large flow, small flow;
Z high work pressure;
, z z high temperature low temperature;

2, range scope confirmation:

General industrial use measured medium velocity of electromagnetic flowmeter with 2 ~ 4 m/s advisable, under special circumstances, z low velocity should not be less than 0.2 m/s, high z should be not more than 8 m/s.If the medium containing solid particles, commonly used flow rate should be less than 3 m/s, prevent excessive friction lining and electrode;For viscous flow, the velocity can choose more than 2 m/s, larger velocity help eliminate electrode automatic on the effect of viscous material, to improve accuracy of measurement.

Under the condition of the range of Q have been identified, according to the velocity V can be decided to the size of the flow meter diameter D, the range of the values calculated by the next type:

Q = PI D2V / 4
Q: flow (㎡ / h) D: pipe diameter V: velocity (m/h)

Electromagnetic flow meter range of Q zui flow value should be greater than expected, the flow of the normal value in a full scale slightly greater than the flowmeter calibration 50 is advisable.
