LF14 Series Electromagnetic Flowmeters

The LF14 series electromagnetic flowmeter consists of two main components: the sensor and the converter. It operates based on Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, designed to measure the volumetric flow rate of conductive liquids—and is classified as a velocity-type instrument. In addition to measuring the volume flow of common conductive liquids, it can also be used to accurately determine the flow rates of highly corrosive fluids such as strong acids and strong bases, as well as uniform liquid-solid two-phase suspensions like mud, mineral slurries, and pulp. This product finds extensive applications in industries such as petroleum, chemical engineering, metallurgy, light textile, papermaking, environmental protection, and food processing, as well as in municipal management, water conservancy projects, and river dredging operations for flow measurement.
● Measurement is unaffected by changes in fluid density, viscosity, temperature, pressure, and electrical conductivity.

How it works   Working Principle

According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, a pair of detection electrodes is installed on the pipe wall perpendicular to both the axis of the measuring tube and the magnetic field lines. As the conductive liquid moves along the axis of the measuring tube, it cuts through the magnetic field lines, generating an induced voltage. This induced voltage is detected by the two electrodes and is directly proportional to the flow rate, with its magnitude given by:
E = B · V · D · K
Where: E – Induced electromotive force
K—A coefficient related to the magnetic field distribution and axial length,
B - Magnetic Induction Intensity
V - Average flow velocity of the conductive liquid
D - Electrode spacing; (measured inner diameter of the tube)
The sensor detects the electromotive force E as a flow signal and transmits it to the converter. After undergoing a series of digital processing steps—including amplification, transformation, and filtering—the signal is displayed on a backlit dot-matrix LCD, showing both instantaneous and cumulative flow rates. The converter features 4–20mA output, alarm output, and frequency output, along with communication interfaces such as RS-485, and supports HART and MODBUS protocols.

Installation Requirements INSTALLATION

The pipeline must be completely filled with liquid. Ensuring the pipeline remains fully charged with fluid is critical, as failure to do so can affect flow readings and even lead to measurement errors. The design of the pipeline structure must guarantee that the flow tube is consistently filled with fluid at all times. When the fluid splits into multiple paths or contains solid particles or sediment, a vertical installation is recommended. However, if using a vertical setup, make sure the fluid flows from bottom to top to maintain proper filling of the pipeline.
