Solving the Partially Filled Pipe Dilemma: Advanced Electromagnetic Measurement Without Flumes
In municipal sewage networks , rainwater drainage, and industrial gravity discharge lines, fluid flows naturally without external pressure. As a result, pipes are rarely 100% full. RBEF-P Series Partially Filled Pipe Magnetic Flow Meter For plant engineers and environmental managers, measuring volumetric flow under these conditions has historically been a major challenge: Standard Magnetic Flow Meters require a completely full pipe (100% liquid volume) to maintain a stable magnetic field and signal. When air is present, standard magmeters generate extreme errors or fail entirely. Open Channel Weirs and Flumes (like Parshall flumes ) require extensive site construction, take up large footprints, and tend to trap solids, sludges, and debris—demanding frequent cleaning. The RBEF-P Series Partially Filled Pipe Magnetic Flow Meter from R&B Instrument Inc . overcomes these limitations by measuring flow velocity and liquid level simultaneously inside an enclosed pipe section. 1.
