6F8A0917 - 163 - 14. Principle of Operation The operating principle of the electromagnetic flowmeter is based on Faraday 's Law of electromagnetic induction. The principle of operation is that an insulated pipe with inner diameter D is placed vertically to the direction of a magnetic fi eld with flux density B (see Figure 14.1). When an electr[...]
