Function and system design
Measuring principle
Following Faraday's law of magnetic induction, a voltage is induced in a conductor moving through a
magnetic field.
A0017035
Ue Induced voltage
B Magnetic induction (magnetic field)
L Electrode spacing
I Current
v Flow velocity
In the electromagnetic measuring principle, the flowing medium is the moving conductor. The
voltage induced (U
e
) is proportional to the flow velocity (v) and is supplied to the amplifier by means
of two measuring electrodes. The flow volume (Q) is calculated via the pipe cross-section (A). The DC
magnetic field is created through a switched direct current of alternating polarity.
Formulae for calculation
• Induced voltage U
e
= B · L · v
• Volume flow Q = A · v
