Magnetic Flowmeter

The JHLD series electromagnetic flowmeter operates on the principle of Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. The sensor mainly consists of the following components: measuring tube, electrodes, excitation coils, iron core, and magnetic yoke housing. It is primarily used to measure the volumetric flow rate of conductive liquids and slurries in closed pipes, including highly corrosive liquids such as acids, alkalis, and salts. This product is widely applied in industries such as petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, textile, food, pharmaceutical, papermaking, as well as in municipal management, water conservancy construction, and other related fields.

Product Features:

  1. Measurement is not affected by changes in fluid density, viscosity, temperature, pressure, or conductivity.

  2. The measuring tube has no obstructing moving parts, resulting in no pressure loss and low requirements for straight pipe sections.

  3. The series is available in nominal diameters from DN15 to DN3000, with various options for liner and electrode materials.

  4. The converter adopts a novel excitation method, featuring low power consumption, stable output, and high accuracy. The flow rangeability can reach up to 1500:1.

  5. The converter can be combined with the sensor as a compact (integral) or remote (separate) type.

  6. The converter employs a 16-bit microprocessor with a 2×16 LCD display, allowing convenient parameter setting and programming.

  7. The flowmeter features a bidirectional measurement system with three built-in totalizers: forward total, reverse total, and net total (difference). It can display instantaneous flow rate and totalized flow, and offers multiple outputs: current, pulse, digital communication, and HART.

  8. The converter uses Surface Mount Technology (SMT) and incorporates self-checking and self-diagnostic functions.

JHLD Series Electromagnetic Flowmeter Selection Guide

◆ Range Confirmation
For general industrial electromagnetic flowmeters, the recommended flow velocity of the measured medium is 2 to 4 m/s. Under special circumstances, the velocity should be no less than 0.2 m/s and no greater than 8 m/s. If the medium contains solid particles, the typical velocity should be less than 3 m/s to avoid excessive wear on the liner and electrodes. For viscous fluids, a velocity greater than 2 m/s is recommended, as a higher flow velocity helps to automatically remove viscous deposits on the electrodes, thereby facilitating accurate measurement.

Once the flow range Q is determined, the meter size D can be selected based on the velocity range V mentioned above, calculated using the following formula:
Q = πD²V/4
Where: Q — Flow rate (m³/h); D — Pipe inner diameter (m); V — Flow velocity (m/h)

The flowmeter range Q should be greater than the expected flow rate, and the normal operating flow rate should preferably be slightly greater than 50% of the full-scale range of the flowmeter.
