Abstract
An electromagnetic flowmeter includes a measuring tube, electrodes, an exciting coil for applying, to a fluid, a time-changing magnetic field asymmetrical with respect to a plane PLN, a signal conversion unit which extracts a ∂A/∂t component, irrelevant to a fluid flow velocity, from a resultant electromotive force of an electromotive force based on the ∂A/∂t component and an electromotive force based on a v×B component originating from the flow velocity of the fluid, a flow rate output unit which removes a variation factor for a span as a coefficient applied to a magnitude V of a flow velocity of the v×B component in the resultant electromotive force, based on the extracted ∂A/∂t component, and calculates a flow rate of the fluid from a result obtained by removing the variation factor, and signal lines inclined with respect to a direction of the magnetic field in parallel with the plane PLN.
