How to choose Yokogawa AXF electromagnetic flowmeter correctly?

What is Yokogawa AXF electromagnetic flowmeter?

Yokogawa AXF electromagnetic flowmeter is an instrument that determines the flow rate by measuring the electromagnetic induction of liquid in a pipeline. It calculates liquid flow by measuring the change of magnetic field and the conductivity of liquid, so it is usually used for liquid flow measurement, such as water, sewage, oil and chemical liquids, etc.

How to correctly choose Yokogawa AXF electromagnetic flowmeter?

Step 1: Determine performance parameters

When selecting a Yokogawa AXF electromagnetic flowmeter, you need to understand some key parameters, including:

•Flow range

This refers to the maximum and minimum flow range that the flowmeter can measure. Make sure the flow meter you choose covers the flow range that meets your application needs.

•Interface size

Interface size is a parameter applied to a pipe or valve that determines the size of the Yokogawa AXF flowmeter to interconnect with the pipe.

•Accuracy

This refers to the accuracy and error range of the flow meter. Make sure the flow meter you choose can adequately meet the accuracy requirements of your application.

•Temperature and pressure range

This refers to the maximum and minimum temperature and pressure range that the flow meter can withstand. Please ensure that the flow meter selected is suitable for the temperature and pressure conditions of your application.

Step 2: Select the instrument form

Yokogawa AXF electromagnetic flowmeters are supplied in various forms, each form has advantages and disadvantages. For your application, you should choose a suitable form, such as:

• Pipe type

Pipe type Yokogawa AXF electromagnetic flowmeter will be installed inside the pipe, usually used in large industries app.

•Bridge type

Bridge type Yokogawa AXF electromagnetic flowmeter performs better when measuring viscous liquids and is usually used in small applications.

Step 3: Select signal output type

Yokogawa AXF electromagnetic flowmeter can provide a variety of signal output types, including analog and digital signals. You need to select the appropriate signal output type based on your application.

•Analog signals

Analog signals are usually used to measure physical quantities such as temperature, pressure and flow. Analog signals usually consist of 4-20mA electrical signals or 0-10V electrical signals.

•Digital signals

Digital signals are usually used to send data from sensors to controllers or PLCs. Standard digital signal controllers include RS485, Profibus and Foundation Fieldbus, etc. to guaranteeStability, cable routing can be performed in accordance with Yokogawa electromagnetic flowmeter requirements.

Step 4: Select additional functions

Yokogawa AXF electromagnetic flowmeters can have various additional functions, such as:

•LCD display

The LCD display can display flow rate and other important parameters in real time.

•Temperature and pressure sensors

Temperature and pressure sensors can measure other physical quantities while measuring flow.

•Metering function

The metering function can accurately and clearly record the flow rate, for example when selling a certain fluid.

Summary

The correct selection of Yokogawa AXF electromagnetic flowmeter requires determining performance parameters, selecting instrument form, selecting signal output type and selecting additional functions. Make sure you choose the right Yokogawa AXF electromagnetic flowmeter based on your application that meets your needs and will ensure your flow measurements are accurate and reliable.
