Badger ModMAG M2000 Electromagnetic Flow Meter (Meter Mount)

Badger ModMag M2000 Series Electromagnetic Flow Meter

The Badger Meter ModMAG M2000 is the result of years of research and field use of electromagnetic flow meter technology. Based on Faraday’s law of induction, these meters can measure water, wastewater, water-based fluids and other liquids that meet minimum electrical conductivity.

Designed, developed and manufactured under strict quality standards, this meter features sophisticated, processor-based signal conversion with accuracies of ±0.20% of rate ±1 mm/s. The wide selection of liner and electrode materials helps ensure maximum compatibility and minimum maintenance over a long operating period.

Application

The M2000 amplifier can be integrally mounted to the detector or can be remote-mounted, if necessary and has many advantages over other conventional technologies. The meter targets a variety of applications and is well suited for the diverse water and wastewater treatment industry. The M2000 meter can accurately measure fluid flow—whether the fluid is water or a highly corrosive liquid, very viscous, contains a moderate amount of solids, or requires special handling. Today, magnetic meters are successfully used in industries including building automation, oil and gas, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, water and wastewater, and chemical.

Operation

The flow meter is a stainless steel tube lined with a non-conductive material. Outside the tube, two DC powered electromagnetic coils are positioned opposing each other. Perpendicular to these coils, two electrodes are inserted into the flow tube. Energized coils create a magnetic field across the whole diameter of the pipe.

As a conductive fluid flows through the magnetic field, a voltage is induced across the electrodes. This voltage is proportional to the average flow velocity of the fluid and is measured by the two electrodes. The M2000 amplifier receives the detector’s analog signal, amplifies that signal and converts it into digital information. At the processor level, the signal is analyzed through a series of sophisticated software algorithms. After separating the signal from electrical noise, it is converted into both analog and digital signals that are used to display rate of flow and totalization.

With no moving parts in the flow stream, there is no pressure lost. Also, accuracy is not affected by temperature, pressure, viscosity or density and there is practically no maintenance required.
