  • Page 9: Product Description

    2.2 Measuring Principle The Tek-Flux 1400A Electromagnetic flow meter operates on the principle of Faraday’s Law of Induction. According to this principle, any change in the magnetic flux linked to an electric circuit causes an electromotive force (or voltage) to be induced in this circuit.
  • Page 10 Since the magnetic flux density and the distance between the electrodes remain constant, the induced voltage is directly proportional to the conductor velocity. The value of the velocity is used to calculate the volumetric flow rate as follows: Q = A x v Where, Q = Flow Rate A = Area...
