Additional information

Intelligent Electromagnetic Flow Meter | High-Precision Liquid Flow Measurement Solution

Jade Ant Intelligent Electromagnetic Flow Meter is a high-precision flow measurement instrument developed based on Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction, specifically designed for conductive liquid flow measurement. When conductive liquid flows through a magnetic field, it generates induced electromotive force proportional to flow velocity. Precise measurement of this potential enables accurate flow calculation.

This technology ensures measurement results are unaffected by fluid density, viscosity, temperature, and pressure variations—only related to fluid velocity. The straight-through design with no flow obstructions achieves zero pressure loss, making it particularly suitable for measuring high-viscosity, particle-laden, and highly corrosive media.

Our Intelligent Electromagnetic Flow Meters have been widely deployed across petrochemical, municipal water, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, mining, and papermaking industries globally, earning customer trust through exceptional accuracy, reliability, and longevity.

Core Benefits and Innovations

Precise Metering, Reduced Losses ±0.5% measurement accuracy (high-precision models achieve ±0.2%) ensures every drop is accurately metered. For a factory processing 500 tons daily, upgrading from ±2% to ±0.5% accuracy can save hundreds of thousands to millions in annual material costs. Wide turndown ratio 150:1 (expandable to 200:1) enables a single meter to cover the full range from minimum to maximum flow, eliminating multiple meter switching.

Extreme Condition Adaptability Over 30 electrode-liner material combinations available: 316L/Hastelloy/Tantalum/Pt-Ir/Tungsten Carbide electrodes, PTFE/FEP/PFA/Rubber/Ceramic liners, handling -20℃ to 180℃ temperature ranges, strong acids/alkalis, and highly abrasive conditions. Real-world applications demonstrate stable 8-10 year operation in harsh media like 98% sulfuric acid and 40% solids slurry.

Intelligent Diagnostics, Lower Maintenance Costs Integrated empty pipe detection, electrode fouling diagnosis, excitation system monitoring, and signal strength analysis provide pre-failure warnings, reducing unplanned downtime. Supports HART/Modbus/Profibus industrial protocols for remote monitoring, parameter configuration, and historical data queries, significantly lowering manual inspection costs.

Zero Pressure Loss Energy-Saving Design No flow obstructions in measuring tube—straight-through flow with zero pressure loss. Compared to orifice plates and turbine meters, each meter can save thousands to tens of thousands in annual pumping electricity costs, with payback periods typically within 1-2 years.

Detailed Product Description

1. Precise Measurement, Significant Economic Benefits

High-precision measurement is the core value of electromagnetic flow meters. Jade Ant Intelligent Electromagnetic Flow Meters achieve standard accuracy of ±0.5% (velocity ≥1m/s), with high-precision models reaching ±0.2% and repeatability ≤0.1%. This means:

Reduced Material Losses: In chemical and food industries where raw materials account for 60-80% of total costs, improving flow meter accuracy directly reduces material waste. For example, a factory processing 100,000 tons annually upgrading from ±2% to ±0.5% accuracy can reduce losses by 1,500 tons, saving 4.5 million yuan annually at 3,000 yuan/ton.
Optimized Production Ratios: Precise flow data enables more stable batching systems, improved product quality consistency, and reduced reject rates.
Reliable Custody Transfer: ±0.2% accuracy high-precision models meet custody transfer requirements, with metering data serving as settlement basis for buyers and sellers, avoiding disputes.

2. Wide Turndown Ratio, Multi-Purpose Single Meter

Turndown ratio 150:1 (high-precision 200:1) means a single meter can measure flow velocities from 0.1m/s to 15m/s. In practical applications:

Avoid Multiple Meter Switching: Traditional meters typically have 10:1-20:1 turndown ratios, requiring multiple meters of different ranges based on flow variations. One Jade Ant electromagnetic meter covers all conditions.
Flexible Process Adjustments: Production flow may vary due to formulations, seasons, or equipment adjustments—wide turndown ensures accuracy across all conditions.
Lower Initial Investment: Fewer instruments mean reduced procurement, installation, and maintenance costs.

3. Zero Pressure Loss, Energy Saving

Measuring tube inner diameter matches pipeline diameter with no flow obstructions (no orifice plates, turbine blades)—straight-through flow with zero pressure loss. Comparison:

Orifice Plate Meter: ~0.3-0.5 bar pressure loss, requiring increased pump power
Turbine Meter: ~0.1-0.2 bar pressure loss
Electromagnetic Meter: ≈0 pressure loss

For DN200 pipe at 100m³/h flow, electromagnetic meters save approximately 15,000 yuan annually in electricity versus orifice plates (at 0.8 yuan/kWh industrial rate).

4. Bi-directional Measurement, Strong Process Adaptability

Automatically detects forward and reverse flow with separate accumulation. Suitable for:

Reciprocating transfer processes (diaphragm pumps, plunger pumps)
Reversible processes (CIP cleaning systems)
Pump inlet/outlet flow comparison (leak detection)

5. Wide Media Adaptability

As long as media has certain conductivity (≥5μS/cm, low-conductivity type ≥0.05μS/cm), electromagnetic meters can measure, including:

Clean liquids: Tap water, industrial water, purified water
Dirty liquids: Wastewater, sludge, pulp
Corrosive liquids: Acids, alkalis, salt solutions
Viscous liquids: Syrup, resin, glue
Slurries: Ore slurry, cement slurry, food pastes
Sanitary liquids: Juice, milk, pharmaceuticals

Measurement results are unaffected by fluid density, viscosity, temperature, or pressure—a significant advantage over volumetric and differential pressure meters.
