    The document discusses several topics related to flow measurement: 1. Electromagnetic flowmeters induce a voltage in conductive liquids proportional to flow velocity using magnetic and electrode fields. 2. Beta ratios compare particle counts upstream and downstream of a filter, with a ratio over 75 considered applicable for multi-pass testing per ISO 16889:1999. 3. Variable area flowmeters use a float that reaches equilibrium where drag from fluid flow matches the float's weight, allowing displacement to indicate flow velocity.

    In an Electromagnetic Flowmeter, the magnetic field is generated by a set of coils.


    As the conductive liquid passes through the electromagnetic field, an electric voltage
    is induced in the liquid which is directly proportional to its velocity. This induced
    voltage is perpendicular to both, the liquid flow direction and the electromagnetic
    field direction. The voltage sensed by the electrodes is further processed by the
    transmitter to give standardised output signal or displayed in appropriate engineering
    unit.

    The flux density of the electromagnetic field in a given Flowmeter and the distance
    between the electrodes are constant. Therefore, the induced voltage is only a
    function of liquid velocity.

    Beta ratio (b) is formulated by dividing the number of particles of a particular size in the
    upstream flow by the number of particles of the same size in the downstream flow:

    where bx is the beta ratio for contaminant larger than x mm


    Nu is the number of particles larger than x mm per unit of volume upstream
    Nd is the number of particles larger than x mm per unit of volume downstream.
     The ISO 16889:1999 standard for multi-pass testing states that this test is applicable for
    filter elements that exhibit an average Beta Ratio greater than or equal to 75. Individual
    element manufacturers determine the Beta Ratio specification for their elements. Most
    manufacturers are currently using a minimum Beta Ratio of 200 for a particular micron
    rating.

    Fluid enters from the bottom of the tapered tube, then some of the fluid strikes
    directly into the float bottom and others pass aside the float. Now the float
    experience two forces in opposite direction, darg force upward and
    gravitational force downward.

    Fluid flow moves the float upward against gravity. At some point, the flowing
    area reaches a point where the pressure-induced force on the floating body
    exactly matches the weight of the float. The float will find equilibrium when the
    area around float generates enough drag equal to weight - buoyancy.

    As the float weight and gravity are constant, the distance float displaced
    upward is proportional to the flow velocity of the fluid passing through the
    tapered tube.
