Induction Flowmeter

Abstract: According to Faraday's law of induction an electric field will be induced in a medium moving relative to a magnetic field. This induced electric field is proportional to the intensity of the magnetic field and to the relative velocity of the moving medium. When applied to media of arbitrary electrical conductivity and dielectric constant, it is seen that any potential difference that arises in connection with the induced electric field is attenuated by the shunting effect of the permittivity of free space.

“…The conductivity of vessel walls relative to that of the moving fluid determines the amplitude of signal that will be recorded from a given flow (1,8,9). Our measurements suggest that blood vessels exceed normal blood in specific resistance (the reciprocal of specific conductance) by a factor less than 2, contrary to some other observations (9).…”

“…The equation for magnetic meters, based on Faraday's law, is E=HLV « 10- 8 , where E is voltage, H is magnetic field strength in gauss, L is internal diameter of the conduit in centimeters, V is average velocity of the moving conductor in centimeters per second, and lO" 8 is the factor converting abvolts to volts. Magnetic permeability in air, blood, saline, or tissues need not be considered because it is very close to unity.…”

“…(12) and (13) Driving coils are approximated by the circular currents of infinitesimally small area, and the magnitudes are deThe good agreement between theoretical and experimental results concludes the feasibility of the presenting configuration of the electro-magnetic flowmeter in the normal operational range. Since the driving signal correlates to the flow signal, it supplies the function of self calibration to the flowmeter in this range.…”
