5.4 Disposal
LEGAL NOTICE!
Disposal must be carried out in accordance with legislation applicable in your country.
Separate collection of WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) in the European Union:
According to the directive 2012/19/EU, the monitoring and control instruments marked with the
WEEE symbol and reaching their end-of-life must not be disposed of with other waste
waste.
The user must dispose of the WEEE to a designated collection point for the recycling of WEEE or
send them back to our local organisation or authorised representative.
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 it into signals for totalizing, recording and output processing.
The minimal height of the measuring tube decreases the distance between the field coils (1),
resulting in a stronger and more homogeneous magnetic field (2). In addition, the mean flow
velocity v increases due to the rectangular and reduced cross section. The large electrode
spacing (D) and the increased flow velocity results in a higher magnetic signal voltage, also in
the presence of a low flow rate.

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
• Operating pressure: 0.1...5 barg / 1.5...72.5 psig
• Inlet section: t 3 DN
• Outlet section: t 1 DN
6.4.1 WATERFLUX 3050, 3100 and 3300 without straight inlet and outlet sections
Disturbed flow profiles, such as those that occur behind elbows, tee pieces, reducers or valves
installed in front of a flowmeter, affect the measuring performance. Therefore it is usually
recommended to fit a straight inlet length in front of and straight outlet length behind a
flowmeter.
As a result of the unique WATERFLUX flow sensor design, whereby the mean flow velocity and
flow profile are optimized within the rectangular and reduced cross section, the additional
uncertainty for upstream disturbances are drastically reduced. Therefore the requirements for
straight length and in front of and behind a meter are reduced.
INFORMATION!
• All data given in the following tables are based on standard versions of the flow sensor only.
• Especially for smaller nominal sizes of the flow sensor, the signal converter can be bigger
than the flow sensor.
• Note that for other pressure ratings than mentioned, the dimensions may be different.
• For full information on signal converter dimensions see relevant documentation.
