THE PERFORMANCE OF A MODIFIED ELECTROMAGNETIC FLOWMETER WHEN ABUTTED TO A SMALLER MISALIGNED UPSTREAM DIAMETER PIPE
C. J. Bates
Abstract:
Electromagnetic flowmeters are today widely used for industrial flow measurement. For industrial users, due to physical constraints, the installation recommendations contained in national and international standards may not be achievable. The actual installation then results in the flowmeter being exposed to velocity profiles which are not fully developed, and do not accord with the situation for which the meter was designed and calibrated. The influence of a smaller upstream diameter pipe together with pipeline misalignment, when abutted to an electromagnetic flowmeter, is discussed.
