What electrode is used for electromagnetic flow meter matching for acidic and alkaline industrial wastewater?

2021-07-15

The wastewater discharged by industrial production enterprises, some are acidic, some are alkaline, some are oxidizing, some are corrosive, some are particulate impurities... Generally, electromagnetic flow meters are used for flow control and measurement. But there are 316L, HaC, HaB, tantalum, titanium, platinum iridium alloy, and tungsten electrodes for electrode flow meters. How should we choose so many electrodes? Is it related to the pH value of the medium?

Today, Weifang Aobo Instrument will introduce the electrode selection of intelligent ABDT-LD electromagnetic flowmeter, as shown in the following figure.

When using an electromagnetic flow meter to measure liquid flow, the appropriate electrode should be strictly selected according to the diagram above, otherwise it may cause electrode damage, inaccurate measurement, and thus cause certain economic losses. If you have any selection needs, you can contact us, and Weifang Aobo Instrument will be happy to serve you.
