Abstract

Contactless flow meter was developed for heavy liquid metals. It is based on transmitting alternating current voltage over a transformer with a large head gap. The measuring signal is generated by the phase shift of two sinusoidal voltages. The geometry of the applied magnetic field in proportion to the selected pipe cross section has a significant impact on the sensitivity of the measuring device. Studies were conducted to find measurement uncertainties due to temperature influence. Commercialized measuring device is available.
