    Disadvantages of Electromagnetic Flowmeter

    Uploaded by

    Electromagnetic flowmeters have several disadvantages: they are not suitable for low fluid velocities, they are more expensive, and they require fluids with conductivity over 20 micro ohm/cm. Additionally, gas bubbles can cause errors, and trapped gas bubbles require regular electrical and mechanical cleaning. However, electromagnetic flowmeters can be useful for measuring potable water, slurries at construction sites, fuels at petroleum plants, and displacement of explosives, paints, and abrasives.

    Disadvantages of electromagnetic flowmeter

    • It is not suitable for low velocity.


    • It is more expensive.
    • It is suitable for fluids having conductivity greater than 20
    micro ohm/cm.
    • Gas inclusion cause errors.
    • Fluid conductivity must be higher so that they can act as
    conductors.

    • Trapped bubbles of gas lead to error. Hence EM flowmeter


    requires electrical as well as mechanical cleaning at regular
    intervals.
    Applications of electromagnetic
    flowmeter
    • They are useful in quantification of potable
    water
    • They can be used at construction sites of the
    flow measurement of slurries
    • They are useful at petroleum plants to
    measure the flow rate of combustible fuels
    • They are useful in measuring displacement of
    explosive liquids, paints, and abrasives
