May I ask if it is possible to use an electromagnetic flowmeter for installing a flowmeter in a gravity-fed pipeline? If it doesn’t work, what’s a good alternative? The flow meter needs to have an accumulation function
Sure, as long as the flow rate is met, the pipe is full, and the conductivity is satisfactory.
For the last two questions, your conditions and actual situation are too simple
The conductivity should be ≥5; the electrodes must be selected based on the medium being tested, and it is generally necessary to have an accumulation function, which should be ensured by the manufacturer.
When using an electromagnetic flowmeter, one also has to take into account empty tubes and bubbles, as such situations are likely to occur in the case of gravity-fed flow
It’s possible; just ensure the pipes are suitable to meet the flow rate requirements and are installed at the lowest point.
