Measuring principle
Measurements performed by the electromagnetic flowmeter are
based on Faraday’s law of induction. A voltage is generated in a
conductor when it moves through a magnetic field.

U1Measuring span

D Electrode spacing
v Average flow velocity
qv Volume flow rate
With the device-relevant application of this measuring principle,
a conductive measuring medium flows through a tube in which a
magnetic field is generated perpendicular to the flow direction
(see Figure 4).
The voltage induced in the measuring medium is tapped by two
diametrically opposed electrodes. This measurement voltage is
proportional to the magnetic induction, the electrode spacing
and the average medium velocity v.
Taking into account that the magnetic induction and the
electrode spacing are constant values results in a proportion
between the measurement voltage U1and the average medium
velocity.
From the calculation of the volume flow rate follows that the
measurement voltage is linear and proportional to the volume
flow rate
The induced voltage is converted by the transmitter to
standardized, analog and digital signals.

Installation conditions
General
The following points must be observed during installation:
• The flow direction must correspond to the marking, if
present
• The maximum torque for all flange screws must be
complied with
• Secure flange screws and nuts against pipe vibration.
• The devices must be installed without mechanical tension
(torsion, bending)
• Install flange devices / wafer-type devices with plane
parallel counterflanges and use appropriate gaskets only
• Use gaskets made from a material that is compatible
with the measuring medium and measuring medium
temperature.
• Gaskets must not extend into the flow area, since
possible turbulence could influence the accuracy of the
device
• The piping may not exert any inadmissible forces or
torques on the device.
• Make sure that the temperature limits are not up-scaled
during operation of the device.
• Vacuum shocks in the piping should be avoided to
prevent damage to the liners (PTFE liner). Vacuum shocks
can destroy the device.
• Do not remove the sealing plugs in the cable glands until
you are ready to install the electrical cable
• Make sure the gaskets for the housing cover are seated
correctly. Carefully seal the cover. Tighten the cover
fittings
• The transmitter with a remote mount design must be
installed at a largely vibration-free location
• Do not expose the transmitter and sensor to direct
sunlight. Provide appropriate sun protection as necessary
If necessary, provide a suited means of sun protection.
• When installing the transmitter in a control cabinet, make
sure adequate cooling is provided

Brackets
NOTICE
Potential damage to the device!
Improper support for the device may result in a deformed
housing and damage to internal magnetic coils.
• Place the supports at the edge of the sensor housing (see
arrows in Figure 9).
Figure 9: Support for nominal diameters larger than DN 400
Devices with nominal diameters larger than DN 400 must be
mounted on a sufficiently strong foundation with support.
Gaskets
The following points must be observed when installing gaskets:
• To achieve the best results, make sure that the gaskets
and meter tube fit concentrically.
• To make sure that the flow profile is not distorted, the
gaskets may not intrude in the piping cross-section.
• The use of graphite with the flange or process connection
gaskets is prohibited. This is because, in some instances,
an electrically conductive coating may form on the inside
of the meter tube.
Devices with hard rubber or soft rubber liner
• Devices with a hard / soft rubber liner always require
additional gaskets
• ABB recommends using gaskets made from rubber or
rubber-like sealing materials
• When selecting the gaskets, make sure that the tightening
torques specified in chapter Torque information on page 144
are not up-scaled.
Devices with a PTFE, PFA or ETFE liner
• In principle, devices with a PTFE, PFA or ETFE liner do not
require additional gaskets.

Electrode axis
1Electrode axis
Figure 12: Orientation of the electrode axis
The flowmeter sensor should be mounted in the piping in such a
manner that the electrode axis is oriented as horizontally as
possible.
A maximum deviation of 45° from the horizontal position is
permissible.
Mounting position
Figure 13: Mounting position
AVertical installation for measuring abrasive materials,
preferably with flow in upward direction.
BFor a horizontal installation, the meter tube must always be
completely filled with the measuring medium.
Provide for a slight incline of the connection for degassing.
Note
For hygienic applications, the vertical mounting position is
preferred.
For a horizontal mounting position, make sure that the sensor is
installed to be self-draining.

… Installation conditions
Grounding
The flowmeter sensor must be connected to ground potential.
For technical reasons, this potential must be identical to the
potential of the measuring medium.
In piping made of plastic or with insulating liner, grounding of
the measuring medium is done by installing grounding plates.
If stray potential is present in the piping, adding a grounding
plate on both ends of the flowmeter sensor is recommended.
Sensor insulation
1Insulation
Figure 15: Insulation of the flowmeter sensor
In the high temperature design, the flowmeter sensor can be
completely thermally insulated. After the unit is installed, the
piping and sensor must be insulated in accordance with the
figure.
Inlet and outlet sections
1Double manifold 2Turn-off device
Figure 16: Inlet and outlet section, turn-off devices
The measuring principle is independent of the flow profile as
long as standing eddies do not extend into the measured value
formation, such as may for example occur after double
manifolds, in the event of tangential inflow, or where half-open
gate valves are located upstream of the sensor. In such cases,
measures must be put in place to normalize the flow profile.
ADo not install fittings, manifolds, valves, etc., right before the
flowmeter sensor.
BInlet / outlet sections: length of the straight piping upstream
and downstream on the sensor.
Experience has shown that, in most installations, straight
inlet sections 3 × DN long and straight outlet sections 2 × DN
long are sufficient (DN = nominal diameter of the flowmeter
sensor).
For test stands, the reference conditions of 10 × DN straight
inlet and 5 × DN straight outlet must be provided, in
accordance with EN 29104 / ISO 9104.
Valves or other turn-off devices should be installed in the
outlet section.
Valve flaps must be installed so that the valve damper plate
does not extend into the flowmeter sensor.

Free inlet or outlet
Figure 17: Free inflow and outflow
AFor a free outflow, do not install flowmeter at the highest
point of the piping or on its outflow side, since the
measuring tube may run empty, creating air bubbles.
BFor free inflow/outflow, provide an invert to make sure that
the piping is always full
Mounting with heavily contaminated measuring media
