Electromagnetic Flowmeter for
Partially-filled Pipes
Introduction
The LF502 electr oma gnetic flowmeter uses Faraday’s
Law of electromagnetic induction in the same way as
conventional electromagnetic flowmeters to measure
the flow rate. Position of electrodes in the LF502 is so
designed that it can be used even in a partially-filled
pipe to measure the flow rate.
Improved functional magnetic field distribution technique enables a high-precision flow measurement continually from low-level to fully-filled flow conditions.
This
eliminates unnecessary piping work such as lifting
the downstream pipe section to fill the detector pipe.
Compared with flowmeters measuring the flow rate by
means of flow level, the obstructionless LF502 flowmeter does not usually allow mud, sands and other
solid sediment stay at the bottom of the detector pipe
is
and
unaffected by wave or floating solids on the fluid
surface.
The
AF100 hand-held terminal or the Model 275 HART
communicator can be used to communicate with the
flowmeter
munications protocol. See the communications output
specifications for details about the HART protocol.

(1) Flange connection
The flowmeter has upstream and downstream
flanges on the ends of detector pipe. Connect
these flanges with the flanges on both sides of
pipeline bore using connection bolts after
inserting a packing between them. See Figure 6.
Tighten the bolts in even increments diagonally
across.

(2) Required straight pipe length
The straight pipe length is required to prevent
uneven flow velocity and a disturbance on the
fluid surface in the detector pipe. The required
straight pipe length should be as follows:

between the detector and converter. The
conduit screw is R(PT)1/2. Use flexible
conduits at the cable outlets of the detector as
needed.
(2) Make the grounding wire as short as possible.
Do not use a common ground shared with other
equipment where earth current may flow.
