What Is A Mag Flow Meter
Have you ever wondered what the third most common flow meter is? For instance, the one that is behind the differential pressure? Flow measurement is the quantification of bulk fluid movement. It can be measured in different ways.
One way is by a mag flow meter. It is also known as a mag meter. The physical principle at work is electromagnetic induction. It requires a conducting fluid, for example, water that contains ions, an electrical insulating pipe surface, like a rubber-lined steel tube.
What is a Mag Meter?
After differential pressure and positive displacement flow meters, the magnetic flow meter is the most popular type of flow meter. Technically, it is called an electromagnetic flow meter; however, most people know it as simply a mag meter. At work in a mag meter is the principle of electromagnetic induction.
The mag meter requires a conducting fluid and electrical insulating pipe surface. Water containing ions and a rubber-lined steel tube may be used. The magnetic field of a mag meter is constantly reversed. This is done to cancel out static potential different. A draw back is the impeded use of permanent magnets for magnetic flow meters.
PD210 Display Units
If you are interested in taking you mag-flow meter to the next level & “stepping it up a notch”, you can add a PD210 Display Unit to you Mag-Flow Meter. This unit displays data from the transmitter. For example, the PD210 can display flow or volume, batch, totalizer, diagnostic tests, and more! This unit can also configure the flow meter meaning you can control your selection of functions like the size of the metering head or the function of outputs, all from this single display unit.
The PD210 Display Unit can be easily mounted directly on the flow meter or panel by the means of only a 2-wire connections. Another bonus is that there is no need for a local power supply, which makes this unit even more convenient.
PD340 Magnetic Flow Meter
A PD340 Magnetic Flow Meter (Commonly referred to as a Mag-Flow Meter, Mag-Meter, Magnetic Flow Meter, etc.) is a precision meter responsible for the volumetric measurement of liquids that are electrically conducting. The mag-meter can be used in applications that require a hygienic design. The rugged construction makes this transmitter suitable for installations where solids particles are in the liquids. The PD340 transmitter is equipped with a microprocessor controlling and supervising all of its functions.
