Magnetic Inductive Flow Meter- EPS

The EPS Magnetic Inductive Flow Meter is an advanced instrument designed for the exact measurement of volumetric flow in electrically conductive fluids, such as liquids, slurries, and pastes. Its inline design allows for smooth integration into various industrial processes without disrupting fluid dynamics, as it introduces no pressure drop. Built with versatility in mind, the EPS can be configured with different electrode materials and liners to withstand a wide range of process conditions, including corrosive environments and high temperatures. This makes it an ideal solution for industries such as chemical processing, oil and gas, food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals.

The EPS Magnetic Inductive Flow Meter depends on the principle of electromagnetic induction to measure flow rates with high accuracy and reliability. The process is broken down into several essential steps:

• Magnetic Field Generation: The EPS is equipped with electromagnetic coils that create a stable magnetic field across the flow tube. This magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the fluid flow, ensuring that as the fluid moves, it interacts effectively with the field.
• Fluid Flow Interaction: As the conductive fluid flows through the magnetic field, it cuts across the lines of magnetic force. According to Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction, this movement generates an electric potential (voltage) within the fluid. The amount of voltage generated is directly proportional to the speed of the fluid, meaning the faster the fluid flows, the higher the voltage induced.
• Electrode Detection: Strategically placed electrodes within the flow tube detect this induced voltage. These electrodes are in direct contact with the fluid, ensuring they accurately capture the electrical signal generated by the fluid’s movement through the magnetic field.
• Signal Processing: The detected voltage signal is transmitted to the flow meter’s electronic processing unit. Here, the signal undergoes several stages of filtering and amplification to remove any noise and enhance the accuracy of the measurement. Advanced algorithms then convert the processed signal into a digital flow rate value.
• Output and Display: The calculated flow rate is displayed on the meter’s integrated interface, which can include digital readouts, graphical displays, or external monitors connected to the system. The flow data can also be transmitted to control systems via various communication protocols (such as Modbus, Profibus, or HART) for real-time monitoring and process control.
• Temperature and pressure compensation: In applications where temperature and pressure fluctuations could affect fluid properties, the EPS flow meter may include compensation mechanisms. Integrated sensors monitor these variables, and the system adjusts the flow calculations accordingly to maintain accuracy under varying conditions.
• Data Integration and Control: The EPS flow meter can be seamlessly integrated into larger industrial control systems, allowing operators to monitor flow rates in real-time and make adjustments as needed. This integration is crucial for maintaining optimal process conditions, especially in industries where precise control over fluid flow is essential.
• Maintenance and calibration: The non-invasive nature of the electromagnetic measurement principle means that the EPS flow meter requires minimal maintenance. However, regular calibration checks may be performed to ensure long-term accuracy and to comply with industry standards.

• High Precision Measurement: The EPS flow meter offers exceptional accuracy in measuring the volumetric flow of conductive fluids, making it suitable for critical applications where precise flow data is necessary.
• No Pressure Drop: Its inline design ensures there is no pressure loss within the system, preserving fluid characteristics and ensuring efficient process flow.
• Durability: This device is constructed with a variety of electrode materials and liners, allowing it to withstand harsh conditions, including corrosive environments and high-temperature applications. This ensures a longer lifespan and minimal maintenance requirements.
• Low Maintenance: With no moving parts and a robust design, the EPS requires minimal maintenance, reducing downtime and operational costs.
• Versatile Integration: Compatible with various communication protocols, the EPS can be easily integrated into existing control systems, facilitating real-time monitoring and process optimization.

• Electrode Materials: Options include stainless steel, Hastelloy, platinum, and tantalum, catering to different fluid types and process environments.
• Liner Materials: Available liners include PTFE, PFA, and ceramic, allowing the EPS to handle aggressive chemicals and high temperatures.
• Flow Tube Sizes: The EPS is available in various sizes, ranging from DN10 to DN300, to accommodate different flow rates and pipeline diameters.
• Accuracy: The flow meter provides an accuracy of ±0.2% of the measured value, ensuring reliable data for process control.
• Temperature Range: The EPS can operate in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 150°C, depending on the selected liner and electrode materials.
• Pressure Rating: The flow meter is designed to withstand pressures up to 40 bar, making it suitable for high-pressure applications.
• Communication Protocols: Supports Modbus, Profibus, HART, and other industrial communication standards for seamless integration into process control systems.
