Classification of Electromagnetic Flowmeters
An electromagnetic flowmeter is a flow instrument based on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction to measure the volume of conductive fluids.
Since its main structure consists of two parts—a sensor and a converter—with no moving parts and no pressure loss, it is unaffected by fluid density, viscosity, temperature, and pressure. Featuring a wide measurement range and a large turndown ratio, it can measure highly corrosive media as well as dirty slurry media containing solid particles or fibers. Therefore, it has a wide range of application fields, such as water treatment, chemical, pharmaceutical, metallurgy, and energy & power industries.
To meet the requirements of different operating conditions, many classifications have been developed.
Below is a breakdown categorizing electromagnetic flowmeters by operating conditions, product types, structural characteristics, and typical applications.
| Operating Condition / Environment | Product Type | Key Structural & Design Features | Typical Applications & Industries |
| Standard Industrial Facilities / Ample Space | Compact / Integrated Type (Compact Electromagnetic Flowmeter) | Sensor and transmitter (display) are integrated into a single unit. Easy installation, compact footprint, and highest cost-efficiency. | Ambient-temperature indoor plants, water treatment workshops, standard accessible pipelines. |
| High Temperature / Vibration / Overhead / Pits | Remote / Split Type (Remote Electromagnetic Flowmeter) | Sensor and transmitter are separated and connected via double-shielded cable (up to $100\text{m}$). Transmitter can be mounted in an easily accessible, safe location. | High-temp chemical lines ($>65^\circ\text{C}$), elevated pipe racks, underground meter pits, high-vibration pump rooms. |
| Underground Pits / Flooding Risks / Submerged | Submersible Type (IP68 Waterproof Flowmeter) | Fully sealed sensor housing with potting compounds in the terminal box achieving an IP68 ingress protection rating. Suitable for continuous underwater operation. | Urban drainage networks, underground valve chambers, wastewater treatment plants, flood-prone areas. |
| Large Diameter Pipes / Legacy Network Retrofits | Insertion Type (Insertion Electromagnetic Flowmeter) | Instead of a full-bore spool piece, a measuring probe is inserted to the pipe center via a tapped hole. Procurement and freight costs stay constant regardless of pipe size. Supports hot-tapping (installation under pressure). | Large-diameter water mains (DN300–DN3000), municipal water network retrofits, large industrial cooling systems. |
| Hazardous & Explosive Environments | Explosion-Proof Type (Ex d Flameproof / Ex ia Intrinsic Safety) | Transmitter and sensor feature flameproof (Ex d) or intrinsically safe (Ex ia) enclosures. Certified with ATEX/IECEx to eliminate electrical spark hazards. | Oil & gas facilities, fine chemicals, mining, tank farms/fuel depots, toxic gas processing environments. |
| Partially Filled Pipes / Open Channels / Fluctuating Levels | Partially Filled / Open Channel Type | Integrates high-precision level sensors (ultrasonic/capacitive) with distributed electrode arrays. Maintains accurate flow measurement at 10%–90% liquid fill levels. | Industrial effluent outfalls, partially filled drainage pipes, stormwater discharge channels, gravity-flow canals. |
| Off-Grid Locations / Mobile Pipe Networks | Battery-Powered Type | Powered by an internal 3.6V high-capacity lithium battery (3–8 years battery life). Micro-power design, typically integrated with NB-IoT / 4G / LoRaWAN wireless modules. | Remote agricultural irrigation, district metering areas (DMA) without grid power, smart water leakage monitoring. |
| Hygienic Processes / Frequent CIP/SIP Cleaning | Sanitary / Hygienic Type | Stainless steel housing with hygienic quick-connect fittings (Tri-clamp). Uses FDA-compliant PFA/PTFE liners with zero dead space, resistant to high-temp steam sterilization. | Food & beverage processing, biopharmaceuticals, dairy production lines, high-purity water systems. |
