Abstract
An electromagnetic flowmeter in which the fluid being metered passes through a flow tube to intersect the lines of flux of a magnetic field produced by an electromagnet whereby the resultant voltage induced in the fluid is transferred to a pair of electrodes mounted at diametrically-opposed positions on the tube. The electromagnet is so driven as to produce a flux field having a triangular wave form. The voltage signal yielded by the electrodes is therefore a composite having a triangular wave component that is a replica of the flux wave and a rectangular wave component that is generated by a spurious loop pick up voltage. The composite signal is applied to a converter and processed therein to cancel out the rectangular wave component whereby the converter output signal is accurately proportional to the flow rate of the fluid.
