How to Measure Flow in Partially Filled Pipes Accurately – RBEF-P Electromagnetic Flow Meter
Measuring flow in gravity sewers, storm drains, or industrial effluent lines is challenging because pipes rarely run full. Traditional solutions like weirs , flumes , or siphons require expensive concrete work, take up space, and need constant cleaning. How to Measure Flow in Partially Filled Pipes Accurately The RBEF-P Partially Filled Pipe Electromagnetic Flow Meter from R&B Instrument Inc. offers a smarter, cost‑effective alternative. How it works It uses the velocity‑area method : an electromagnetic sensor measures flow velocity, and a high‑precision level gauge measures liquid height. The meter then calculates real‑time flow rate and totalized volume. Just input the pipe inner diameter. Why choose RBEF-P ? - Wide level range – accurate from 10% to 100% full pipe (accuracy ±2.5% FS) - Triple electrodes at 10%, 30%, and 50% of pipe diameter – the meter automatically uses the best signal above the liquid surface, avoiding oil or floating grease - No moving parts – unaffected by...
