1. Introduction
1.1. Operating Principle
The measurement is based on the principle of
Faraday‘s law on
electromagnetic induction in which an electric voltage is induced in an
electrically conductive body that moves in a magnetic field. Liquid flows
through a tube in the direction of the magnetic field. Liquid with a certain
minimum electrical conductivity induces a voltage which is detected by two
electrodes located in a 90 degree angle from the magnetic field and the flow
direction.
1.2. Applications
Water / waste
water
Chemical
industry
Food industry
Power
engineering
Agriculture
Effluent
Industry
