Process of Measurement in Detail

The PIT Magnetic Inductive Flow Meter operates on the principle of Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction. According to this principle, a voltage is induced when a conductive fluid passes through a magnetic field. Here’s how the process works:

• Magnetic Field Generation: The PIT flow meter generates a stable magnetic field across the section of the pipeline where the tool is inserted. This magnetic field is crucial for starting the measurement process.
• Fluid Interaction: As the conductive fluid flows through the pipeline and passes through the magnetic field, it disrupts the field, inducing a voltage proportional to the velocity of the fluid.
• Voltage Detection: Electrodes within the tool detect the induced voltage. The magnitude of this voltage directly corresponds to the speed of the fluid passing through the magnetic field.
• Signal processing: The flow meter’s integrated electronics then process and convert the detected voltage into a flow rate reading. The final output can be displayed locally or transmitted to a remote monitoring system, depending on the application requirements.

This method of measurement is highly accurate and does not hamper the flow of the fluid, making it ideal for processes where maintaining flow integrity and minimizing pressure loss are crucial.
