EL 2200

Description

Electromagnetic Flow Meter

The EL 2200 series of electromagnetic sensors represent the state of the art for the accurate measurement for water cycle and process applications. Flow meters are available in line sizes from 1 through 16. This new generation sensor incorporates improvements to the signal protection as well as the magnetic distribution elements to create a unique electromagnetic field profile that ensures accuracy not only in turbulent flow, but also during the transitional and laminar flow regimes. The new extended linearity (EL) series meters are capable of a measurement range of more than 1000:1 without the aid of linearization software. An electromagnetic flow meter bases its operation on the Faraday Principal, by which a conductor crossing a magnetic field generates a potential. The resultant potential is directly proportional to the flow velocity. The EL 2200 series flow meters utilize 304 stainless steel flow tube with carbon or stainless flanges, three Hastelloy C 22 electrodes are standard, with one electrode being used for ground to eliminate the need for costly grounding rings required by other manufactures. The standard liner material is PTFE for 1 thru 6 meter sizes and Ebonite for sizes large than 6. The flange and sensor exterior surface is coated with acrylic paint, providing excellent resistance to water. Electronics available for the EL 2200 series consists of a base transmitter with optional panel mounted display, as well as a multiple output converter with integral display. Electronics can be mounted directly on the flow meter or remotely mounted. When the electronics are remotely mounted the entire flow meter meets IP 68 suitable for permanent immersion in water up to a depth of 1.5 meters.

Background

Extended Flow Range Performance

EL 2200

In recent years there have been developments and improvements in the electronics which drive the magnetic field. Most meters now use a pulsed DC electromagnetic field verses excitation with AC or constant DC. These improvements have minimized the effects of noise, reduced drift and eliminated the need for zero adjustments. All of these changes have made electromagnetic flow meters more accurate, and have extended their use to very low conductive fluids.

Electromagnetic flow meters use Faradays Law of Electromagnetic Induction to determine the velocity of a liquid flowing in a pipe. They are very well known for their rugged construction, open architecture which creates minimal pressure drop, proven field experience, and their intrinsically linear response. They are typically used whenever a slightly conductive liquid flow rate needs to be measured with high precision.

The EL 2200 series of flow meters represents the next evolution in technology improvements for electromagnetic flow meters. At high flow rates, almost all magmeters show a roughly linear accuracy curve. The level of accuracy will vary from one manufacture to the other dependent on the quality of the product, but in general the output is inherently linear. What distinguishes one instrument from the other is the fact that at extremely low flow rates, the linearity or accuracy decreases exponentially. The EL 2200 series is the result of research, development and testing focused on these low flow conditions.

Description

Research for the EL 2200 focused on the magnetic field itself, in particular the arrangement of the field within the sensor. The optimum magnetic field not only needs to operate within the well defined fully developed turbulent flow profile, but also within the transient conditions and the laminar flow velocity profile. Based on this research improvements were made to the arrangement of the signal protection as well as the magnetic distribution elements. The results of these product improvements are demonstrated in Figure 1. The performance of meters from four of the leading magmeter manufactures were compared to an EL 2200 over the full operating range. The meters tested were 3 flanged units and all five meters were tested on the same calibration stand under like conditions.

Conclusion

The accuracy of the typical electromagnetic flow meter starts to degrade at approximately a 14:1 turndown ratio from the maximum velocity rating. The benefits of the research focused on improving the low velocity performance of the EL 2200 series meters can be seen in this competitive performance testing. The EL 2200 series flow meters achieved a higher level of accuracy than the competitive meters throughout the entire operating range. Starting at approximately 0.7 m/s the accuracy of the competitive equipment began to degrade while the EL 2200 meter maintained an accuracy of less than 0.5% down to 0.25 m/s. Typically a 1% accuracy all the way down to 0.04m/s can be expected from the EL 2200 series as compared to values much higher for traditional meters. This improved performance allows the Flow Technology EL 2200 meters to provide a much wider usable flow range while maintaining a higher level of accuracy.
