Badger Meter M2000 Data sheet

M-Series® M2000

Electromagnetic Flow Meter

DESCRIPTION

The Badger Meter ModMAG® M2000 is the result of years of
research and field use of electromagnetic flow meter technology.
Based on Faraday’s law of induction, these meters can measure
water, wastewater, water-based fluids and other liquids that meet
minimum electrical conductivity.

Designed, developed and manufactured under strict quality
standards, this meter features sophisticated, processor-based
signal conversion with accuracies of ±0.20% of rate ±1 mm/s.
The wide selection of liner and electrode materials helps ensure
maximum compatibility and minimum maintenance over a long
operating period.

OPERATION

The flow meter is a stainless steel tube lined with a non-conductive
material. Outside the tube, two DC powered electromagnetic coils
are positioned opposing each other. Perpendicular to these coils,
two electrodes are inserted into the flow tube. Energized coils
create a magnetic field across the whole diameter of the pipe.

As a conductive fluid flows through the magnetic field, a voltage
is induced across the electrodes. This voltage is proportional to
the average flow velocity of the fluid and is measured by the two
electrodes. The M2000 amplifier receives the detector’s analog
signal, amplifies that signal and converts it into digital information.
At the processor level, the signal is analyzed through a series of
sophisticated software algorithms. After separating the signal from
electrical noise, it is converted into both analog and digital signals
that are used to display rate of flow and totalization.

With no moving parts in the flow stream, there is no pressure lost.
Also, accuracy is not affected by temperature, pressure, viscosity or
density and there is practically no maintenance required.

ELECTRODES

When looking from the end of the meter into the inside bore, the
two measuring electrodes are positioned at three o’clock and nine
o’clock. M2000 mag meters have an “empty pipe detection” feature.
This is accomplished with a third electrode positioned in the meter
at twelve o’clock.

If this electrode is not covered by fluid for a minimum
five-second duration, the meter will display an “empty pipe
detection” condition, send out an error message, if desired, and
stop measuring to maintain accuracy. When the electrode again
becomes covered with fluid, the error message will disappear and
the meter will continue measuring.

As an option to using grounding rings, a grounding electrode
(fourth electrode) can be built into the meter during
manufacturing to assure proper grounding. The position of this
electrode is at six o’clock.

APPLICATION

The M2000 amplifier can be integrally mounted to the detector or
can be remote-mounted, if necessary and has many advantages
over other conventional technologies. The meter targets a variety
of applications and is well suited for the diverse water and
wastewater treatment industry. The M2000 meter can accurately
measure fluid flow—whether the fluid is water or a highly corrosive
liquid, very viscous, contains a moderate amount of solids, or
requires special handling. Today, magnetic meters are successfully
used in industries including building automation, oil and gas, food
and beverage, pharmaceutical, water and wastewater,
and chemical.
