Installation location and flow direction - Just Measure it

Installation location and flow direction

The installation direction of the sensor can be horizontal, vertical, or inclined without restriction. However, it is best to measure solid-liquid two-phase fluids with vertical installation and flow from bottom to top, so that there will be no serious local wear of the lower half of the lining during horizontal installation, and solid-phase precipitation at low flow rates.
When installing horizontally, make the electrode axis parallel to the horizon, not perpendicular to the horizon, because the bottom electrode is easy to be covered by deposits, and the top electrode is easily rubbed by the occasional bubbles in the liquid to cover the surface of the electrode, causing the output signal to fluctuate.
It is best not to install the electromagnetic flow sensor on the high point or top of the pipe system.


The installation of the electromagnetic flow sensor should also avoid or stay away from the downstream of the mixing point of the two liquids with different conductivity because the two liquids with different conductivity will flow through the measuring point without mixing or reacting completely, which will cause the meter output to shake. It is best to move the flow sensor upstream of the mixing point, or a considerable distance away from the mixing section. For example, the reaction time of mixing is the 60s, and the liquid flow rate is 3m/s, 180m apart is required regardless of the safety factor.
