Description

Technical Field

[0002] An electromagnetic water meter is an instrument that uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to measure water flow. Its working principle is based on Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, which states that when a conductor moves in a magnetic field, an electromotive force is generated at both ends of the conductor. In an electromagnetic water meter, when water flows through a magnetic field, an electromotive force is generated, thereby measuring the water flow. An electromagnetic water meter consists of two parts: a magnetic circuit system and an electromagnetic sensor. The magnetic circuit system generates a strong magnetic field, and when water flows through the magnetic field, an electromotive force is generated in the water. The electromagnetic sensor measures this electromotive force and converts it into a digital signal of the water flow.
