Sensors for water applications

Sensors & Transducers
MUT 2300 sensors represent state-of-the-art Euromag International production for water cycle and process applications. The innovative inner part of the sensor increases the liquid flow rate considerably and the accuracy of the signal transmitted to the electrodes enables an extremely wide range of measurement. This allows low flow rates to be measured precisely and repeatably, even in problematic applications with solid parts. This flanged sensor series bases its operation on the Faraday Principle, by which a conductor crossing a magnetic field generates an electrical potential perpendicular to the field itself. Two coils are installed on the upper and lower sides of the stainless steel AISI 304 flow tube. The magnetic field generated by the electric current crossing the coils induces in the electrodes a potential difference proportional to the flow rate.
To measure low potential values, the interior of the flow tube is electrically insulated, thus the process liquid is not in contact with the flow tube or the flanges. The converter generates the current supplying the coils, acquires the potential difference of the electrode, processes the signal to calculate the flowrate and manages communication with the exterior. The entire sensor has IP68 protection, suitable for permanent immersion in water up to a depth of 1,5 metres. Applications include measurement of potable or reflow water, municipal water, waste water, overnight systems with very low flow rate, industrial process liquids, muds and concretes, leakage detection and irrigation.
