Electromagnetic flowmeters, also known as magmeters, are devices used to measure the flow rate of conductive fluids like water or slurries. The terms "split electromagnetic flowmeter" and "integrated electromagnetic flowmeter" generally refer to different configurations or designs of these flowmeters.
Integrated Electromagnetic Flowmeter:
An integrated electromagnetic flowmeter typically refers to a design where the flow tube and the transmitter are integrated into a single unit.
The flow tube, which is a part of the flowmeter responsible for directing the flow and generating the magnetic field, is built directly into the flowmeter housing.
Split Electromagnetic Flowmeter:
A split electromagnetic flowmeter, on the other hand, involves a separation between the flow tube and the transmitter.
The flow tube is installed in the pipeline where the fluid flows, while the transmitter, which processes the signal and provides output, is separate and connected to the flow tube via a cable.This design allows for flexibility in installation and maintenance. For example, the transmitter can be installed in a more accessible location for ease of calibration or repairs.
The choice between a split magnetic flow meter and integrated electromagnetic flow meter design depends on factors such as installation preferences, space constraints, and maintenance considerations. Split electromagnetic flow meter designs offer more flexibility in installation and maintenance, while integrated electromagnetic flow meter designs may be more compact and straightforward to install.
Integrated Magnetic Flowmeters
Split Magnetic Flowmeters
Integral Magnetic Flowmeters: The installation process is relatively simple and fast, due to its overall structure, just find a suitable pipeline location, the flowmeter can be installed and fixed as a whole, especially for limited space occasions, such as small pipeline wells or equipment room. However, in the installation should pay attention to meet the requirements of the straight pipe section before and after to ensure the measurement accuracy.
Split Magnetic Flowmeters: The installation is relatively complex, requiring the accurate installation of the sensor on the pipeline, followed by the installation of the converter in the selected location and cable connection. In the installation of the sensor, the same to ensure that its front and rear straight section meets the requirements, and need to pay attention to the laying of the cable to avoid electromagnetic interference and other impacts. In addition, for the converter installation location selection should take into full account the operation, maintenance convenience and environmental conditions and other factors.
Integrated Magnetic Flowmeters: Suitable for limited space, strict installation requirements and high precision requirements for flow measurement occasions, such as in the water treatment, chemical, pharmaceutical and other industries, commonly used to measure the flow of various conductive liquids. In addition, for some of the higher health requirements of the food and beverage industry, the overall structure of the integrated electromagnetic flowmeter is easier to clean and disinfect, in line with health standards.
Split Magnetic Flowmeters: Suitable for some special industrial environments, such as high temperature, high humidity, strong corrosion and other harsh environments, you can install the converter away from the site of harsh environments, so as to ensure that the normal operation and service life of the equipment. At the same time, in the need for remote monitoring and control occasions, the split electromagnetic flowmeter has obvious advantages, through the cable connection, the converter can be placed in the control room and other centralized management and operation of the location, to facilitate real-time monitoring of the flow of staff data and the corresponding control operations.
Split and integrated Magnetic Flowmeters in the power supply, output, caliber, materials, electrodes, flow range, temperature and pressure strength, etc. There is no difference, the main difference is in the installation and location of different. One-piece applicable to conventional conditions first, the location of the installation is more convenient to view the data as well as convenient cleaning and maintenance. Split for the surrounding environment with corrosive, flammable, explosive, inconvenient to view the data as well as inconvenient cleaning and maintenance of special conditions, so that not only can easily solve the problem of flow measurement, but also effectively solve the safety hazards!
