EMV-500TM
Electromagnetic Velocity
Open Channel Flow meter
Technical Specifications
Velocity Measurement
Method
Electromagnetic (Faraday’s Law)
Range
0 to +6 m/s
Accuracy
± 1% of measured value or ±0,03 m/s
(whatever value is bigger)
Min. conductivity of the medium needed
10µS/cm
Velocity Measurement Method
The principle of magnetic-inductive flow measurements utilizes the
Faraday’s law, where a conductor moving in a magnetic field
induces a voltage of amplitude proportional to the velocity of the
conductor. The conductor is the media being measured.

EMV-500TM SIZE B
The EMV-500TM is a water/wastewater electromagnetic velocity
open channel flow meter sensor which is available in two sizes:
SIZE A is suited for pipes or channels from 150 mm to
500 mm diameter
SIZE B is suited for pipes or channels from 500 mm to
2.000 mm diameter.
The sensor is encapsulated in an IP68 submersible ultra high
molecular polyethylene body to be mounted with a special sensor
mounting band in the pipe.
When combined with the appropriate level sensor, the EMV-500TM
constitutes an efficient electromagnetic area/velocity flow meter
measuring both velocity and level in the same cross-section (or slice
of pipe). This is a requirement necessary for accurate flow rate
measurement using the continuity equation: Q = v x A
