What is the difference between split and integral electromagnetic flowmeters?

Case introduction

1. Structural differences

The most significant difference between the split type and the integrated type of electromagnetic flowmeter lies in the structure. The split electromagnetic flowmeter mainly consists of two parts: a vortex flow sensor and a signal converter. They are split structures and need to be connected through cables. The vortex flow sensor is placed inside the pipe, and the signal converter is placed outside the pipe. The integrated electromagnetic flowmeter integrates the vortex flow sensor and the signal converter, that is, the two parts of the structure are merged together, mainly to reduce the installation workload of the pipeline.

2. Different installation methods

Another difference is the installation method. Due to different structures and shapes, the installation methods of split type and integrated electromagnetic flowmeter are different. For the split electromagnetic flowmeter, it needs to be installed on the pipe with an appropriate bracket, and the vortex flow sensor needs to be fixed on the inside of the pipe. The installation method of the integrated electromagnetic flowmeter is more flexible, because the entire electromagnetic flowmeter is integrated and can be installed directly in the pipeline.

3. Differences in application scenarios

The application scenarios of split-type and integrated electromagnetic flowmeters are also different. Generally speaking, split-type electromagnetic flowmeters are suitable for scenarios with larger pipelines, but cannot be used in some relatively narrow pipelines. The integrated electromagnetic flowmeter is relatively more flexible and suitable for scenarios with relatively small pipe diameters.

4. Differences in accuracy

Accuracy is one of the important indicators of electromagnetic flowmeters. The accuracy between split electromagnetic flowmeters and integrated electromagnetic flowmeters is also different. different. Since the integrated electromagnetic flowmeter has a more compact structure and the installation accuracy directly affects the measurement accuracy, the split electromagnetic flowmeter has advantages in high-demand metering scenarios.

In summary, the split type and integrated type of electromagnetic flowmeter have their own characteristics. When selecting, you need to consider factors such as pipe diameter, installation difficulty, accuracy, etc. to choose the electromagnetic flowmeter that suits you.
