Description

This Standard is applicable to industrial electromagnetic flowmeters and their application in the measurement of liquid flow.

The electromagnetic flowmeters covered by this Standard utilize an alternating electrical current (AC) or pulsed direct-current (pulsed-DC) to generate a magnetic field in electrically conductive and electrically homogeneous liquids or slurries flowing in a completely filled, closed conduit.

Scope

This Standard does not cover the following:

• insertion-type electromagnetic flowmeters
• electromagnetic flowmeters used in surgical, therapeutic, or other health and medical applications
• applications of industrial flowmeters involving nonconductive liquids
• highly conductive liquids (e.g., liquid metals)
