Easy installation Fitting the 9500A is easy with the flanged design and standard ISO insertion lengths. To further ease the operation, the 9500A can be installed without filters and straighteners. Even grounding rings are not required with the patented "Virtual Reference" option on the IMT33A converter. IP68 Installation in measurement chambers subject to (constant) flooding is possible with the IP68 rated version. The chambers can even be completely surpassed if the IP68 version is combined with our special subsoil coating, allowing the 9500A to be installed directly in the ground.

1.3 Measuring principle An electrically conductive fluid flows inside an electrically insulated pipe through a magnetic field. This magnetic field is generated by a current, flowing through a pair of field coils. Inside of the fluid, a voltage U is generated: U=v*k*B*D in which: v = mean flow velocity k = factor correcting for geometry B = magnetic field strength D = inner diameter of flowmeter The signal voltage U is picked off by electrodes and is proportional to the mean flow velocity v and thus the flow rate Q. A signal converter is used to amplify the signal voltage, filter it and convert...

2 TECHNICAL DATA 2.2 Measuring accuracy Every electromagnetic flowmeter is calibrated by direct volume comparison. The wet calibration validates the performance of the flowmeter under reference conditions against accuracy limits. The accuracy limits of electromagnetic flowmeters are typically the result of the combined effect of linearity, zero point stability and calibration uncertainty. Reference conditions • Medium: water • Temperature: +5...35°C / +41...95°F • °perating pressure: M...5 barg / 'I.5...72.5 psig • Inlet section: > 5 DN • Outlet section: > 2 DN Optionatty for IMT30A and IMT31A;...

2.3 Pressure derating The graphs below refer to the maximum pressure as a function of the temperature for the flanges of the flowmeter (per specified flange material). Please note that the specified values only refer to the flanges. The maximum value for the flowmeter can further be limited by the maximum value for other materials (i.e. the liner) For A = Carbon steel A 105 & B = Stainless steel 316L X/Y axes in all graphs; X = Temperature in [°C] / Y = Pressure in [bar] x/y axes in all graphs; x = Temperature in [°F] / y = Pressure in [psi]
