Abstract: Electromagnetic flow meters possess the ability to deliver real time diagnostic data regarding meter health and flow processes. Using the onboard diagnostics can help an individual trend fluid quality and measurement accuracy by understanding each KPI and how it correlates to a known standard. A mag meter uses Faradays Law to calculate the fluids velocity passing through the meter. In order to accurately measure the velocity, a mag meter is equipped with a process ground, which aids in the ability to rid of any excess voltage created within the meter run. This in turn allows the meter to accurately convert the fluids velocity into a flow rate given a known pipe size. Mag meters can be used in a variety of applications from produced water, wastewater, food and beverage, oil, and chemical. It is important to understand and be familiar with the application in which you use a mag meter, as it can be very fluid dependent. For example, measuring freshwater vs oil, the water has a higher conductivity (lower resistance) than the oil. This will directly impact the accuracy of measurement from the mag meter.
