This flowmeter can measure the flow of conductive liquids, even in partially filled pipes. To be
able to do this, a capacitive height measurement has been integrated into a normal
electromagnetic flowmeter. If both the filled fraction and the velocity of the fluid are known, it is
easy to calculate the amount of fluid running through the pipe.

3.4.8 Mounting advice for difficult situations
If you can not meet the installation conditions install the flowmeter between two containers. The
inlet to the flowmeter must be higher than the outlet of the fluid. In this way you will have a calm
flow into the flowmeter, resulting in a highly accurate measurement. The sizes of the containers
must be proportional to the size of the flowmeter.

7.1 Measuring principle
The TIDALFLUX 4000 is an electromagnetic flow sensor with an integrated capacitive level
measurement system, designed for electrically conductive process liquids. The flow rate Q(t)
through the tube is:
Q(t) = v(t) x A(t)
Q(t) = v(t) x A(t), in which
Q(t) = v(t) x A(t)Q(t) = v(t) x A(t)
v(t) = Flow velocity of liquid product
A(t) = Wetted area of tube section.
The flow velocity is determined on basis of the known electromagnetic measurement principle.
The two measuring electrodes are located in the lower part of the measuring tube, on a level of
approx. 10% of the inner diameter of the pipe in order to get a reliable measurement to a level of
10%.
An electrically conductive fluid flows inside an electrically insulating pipe through a magnetic
field. This magnetic field is generated by a current, flowing through a pair of field coils. Inside of
the fluid, a voltage U is generated:
U = v * k * B * D
U = v * k * B * D
U = v * k * B * DU = v * k * B * D
in which:
v = mean flow velocity
k = factor correcting for geometry
B = magnetic field strength
D = inner diameter of flow meter
TECHNICAL DATA 7
The signal voltage U is picked off by electrodes and is proportional to the mean flow velocity v
and thus the flow rate q. The signal voltage is quite small (typically 1 mV at v = 3 m/s / 10 ft/s and
field coil power of 1 W). Finally, a signal converter is used to amplify the signal voltage, filter it
(separate from noise) and convert it into signals for totalising, recording and output processing.

The wetted area A is computed from the known inside diameter of the pipe by the patented
capacitive level measurement system that is built into the measuring tube liner. The required
electronics unit is accomodated in a compact housing that is mounted on top of the measuring
sensor. This electronics is connected to the remote IFC 300 F converter by means of a digital
communication line.

INFORMATION!
These tables state the flowrate in a partially filled pipe, dependant on slope, filling level, inner
diameter and friction factors of the pipe. The values are calculated according the ManningStrickler equation. The results do not consider: deposits, profile distortion, backwater, friction of
air and the slightly smaller inner diameter of the TIDALFLUX.

7.4 Dimensions and weights
The inner pipe diameter should match the inner diameter of the flowmeter. Since the inner
diameter is not a standard DN size, choose the inner pipe diameter to be just a little bit bigger
than the flow meter diameter. If a lot of sediment or fat is expected the optimal solution is to
produce a diameter compensation ring on both sides to have smooth transits.

7.6 Measuring accuracy
The measuring accuracy for partly filled pipes and completely filled pipes are different. In these
graphs it is assumed that the velocity at full scale value is at least 1 m/s (is also the standard
value for calibration, since it will result in the most accurate measurements).
