Selection between integrated and split-type electromagnetic flowmeters
Thread Content
The flow sensor and flow converter of an integrated electromagnetic flowmeter are combined into one unit, resulting in a lower price. Integrated electromagnetic flowmeters are generally chosen when display is required on-site or under conditions with a favorable environment. In a split-type electromagnetic flowmeter, the flow sensor and the flow converter are installed in separate locations, which results in a price that is either lower or higher. Applicable scenarios for split-type electromagnetic flowmeters: 1. When the radiation temperature acting on the electromagnetic flowmeter converter or the ambient temperature exceeds 60°C. 2. The pipeline in which the electromagnetic flowmeter is installed experiences significant vibration. 3. The site environment contains substances that cause severe corrosion of the converter’s aluminum casing, or it has a high level of humidity. 4. The electromagnetic flowmeter is installed at high altitudes or underground; its modular design facilitates troubleshooting.
Your understanding is very accurate. I will explain it in more detail below. Integrated electromagnetic flowmeters are typically used in relatively favorable environments, and they have high requirements regarding the display capabilities of the equipment. Its main advantage is its simple operation; the integrated design makes installation and maintenance easier. At the same time, since the sensor and converter are combined, the data processing and transmission speeds are also faster. However, if the ambient temperature is high, vibrations are severe, or the humidity in the environment is high, it may damage the converter; therefore, integrated electromagnetic flowmeters are not recommended for use in such environments. Split-type electromagnetic flowmeters can be used in a wider range of environments, including those with high temperatures, high vibrations, or high humidity. Since the sensor and the converter can be installed separately, even in harsh installation conditions, it will not affect the operation of the converter. Furthermore, split-type electromagnetic flowmeters can adapt to more complex environments and application areas; for instance, they can be used in locations such as high altitudes or underground where operation is difficult. In general, the choice between an integrated and a split-type electromagnetic flowmeter is mainly determined by the actual operating environment and requirements. .
Well, what they said makes sense indeed, haha, that’s great
