SITRANS F M Magnetic-inductive Flowmeters

Magnetic-inductive flowmeters (MID) are ideally suited for measuring the flow of almost all conductive electromagnetic liquids, as well as for sludges, bulk solids and slurries. The one precondition: at least minimal conductivity within the medium. Temperature, pressure, viscosity and density have no influence on the measurement result. The magnetic flow measurement principle is based on Faradays law of induction. When a conductor within a magnetic field is set in motion, a voltage is induced within the conductor.

Electric coils in the converter generate a consistent magnetic field. The electrically conductive liquid flowing through the metering pipe induces a voltage proportional to the flow velocity. This voltage is registered by the electrodes of the sensor and transferred to the converter for signal processing. Taking the bore diameter into account, the converter then calculates the current flow volume. Thanks to their accurate and reliable measurement capabilities, easy installation and startup, operability and maintenance, magnetic-inductive flowmeters are the most commonly used flow measurement devices in the industry.

USM II, the Universal Signal Module based on the simple Plug & Play principle, allows for easy flowmetering integration in almost any system. Flowmeter upgrades for new communications platforms in the future are also easily performed.

The MAGFLO verificator monitors and documents the accuracy of the entire measured area on-site.

A Solution for every application just choose the size

SITRANS F US Ultrasonic flowmeters

Until recently, the factors of low flow velocity and small nominal bore posed the greatest hindrance for a precise flowmeter measurement. Particularly in those fields in which magnetic-inductive processes could not be utilized e.g. in organic chemistry. Here the new ultrasound flowmetering technology of SITRANS F US provides an excellent solution. Ultrasonic flowmeters supply much more information about the measured media than simply current flow data. Through analysis of the ultrasonic velocity and amplitude, the customer is also provided with information about the media quality. Possible process fluctuations are thereby quickly and reliably identified.
Measuring principle: The ultrasonic delay measuring method is based on the principle that the ultrasonic signal travels faster in the flow direction of the media than against it. The delay time is proportional to the flow velocity. Since the delay time is measured at short intervals both in and against flow direction, viscosity and temperature deviations of the measured media have no influence on the measurement accuracy. The helix factor in SITRANS F US The SITRANS F US operates by sending a helix-shaped ultrasonic path through the measuring pipe. By artificially elongating the sound path, a greater delay difference is achieved, and a significantly better sampling of the flow profile within the measured pipe run can be conducted. Customers profit from significantly increased measurement accuracy even with small nominal bores and low flow rates both with laminar and turbulent flows, as well as in the transitional area. Direct signal processing used in SITRANS F US SONOFLO With SONOFLO, the signal is sent directly and without deflection to the bore wall from the transmitter to the receiver. Here also measurements are taken at short time intervals both in and against flow direction, so that temperature and viscosity fluctuations have no influence on the measurement result. This direct signal guidance is utilized particularly in larger nominal bores, higher flow rates and with highly sound-absorbing media.

Process Industry
Conditions in the process industry place extreme demands on modern measurement technology. A robust housing design is therefore just as essential as comprehensive diagnosis options, field bus capabilities and hazardous approvals.

Sound path SITRANS F US SONOFLO

SITRANS F US The SITRANS F US measures clean liquids from 4 F to +356 F (20 C to +180 C) in all mounting positions, even in hazardous environments. Thanks to its helix shaped sound guidance, it supplies the highest possible accuracy even in small bore diameters and at extremely low velocities. With the integrated HART protocol and optional PROFIBUS PA interface, the unit is superbly equipped for utilization in the process industry. SITRANS F US SONOFLO SONO 3100 The SONO 3100 is ideal for difficult applications where scale build-up can pose problems e.g. processes with water and treated wastewater, or in petrochemical flow processes. The ultrasonic sensors are easily replaced without systems operation interruption. As such, the SONO 3100 offers the highest possible performance for operating conditions that routinely push flowmeter capacity to the limit. Pressure ratings up to PN40/ANSI 300 lbs are standard, with higher ratings also available for customer-specific units.

Water
Flow rate measurements play an increasingly important role in the water industry. Measuring devices frequently require retrofitting, without the possibility of emptying the pipeline. The irrigation of agricultural surfaces also takes on ever greater significance. Power sources are rarely available at the measuring point. In this case, batterypowered devices handle the equal water distribution.
