Description

ASME MFC-16 – Measurement of Fluid Flow in Closed Conduits With Electromagnetic Flowmeters

This Standard is applicable to industrial electromagneticflowmeters and their application in the measurementof liquid flow. The electromagnetic flowmeterscovered by this Standard utilize an alternating electricalcurrent (AC) or pulsed direct-current (pulsed-DC) togenerate a magnetic field in electrically conductive andelectrically homogeneous liquids or slurries flowing ina completely filled, closed conduit.

This Standard does not cover the following:

insertion-type electromagnetic flowmeters
electromagnetic flowmeters used in surgical, therapeutic,or other health and medical applications
applications of industrial flowmeters involvingnonconductive liquids
highly conductive liquids (e.g., liquid metals)
