Flow meter market overview

Electromagnetic Flowmeter is a kind of induction meter according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction to measure the volume flow of conductive medium in the tube. After years of development, electromagnetic flowmeter has formed many kinds. Electromagnetic flowmeters are widely used in modern industry, energy metering, environmental protection engineering, transportation, biopharmaceutical, scientific experiments, ocean images, rivers and lakes measurement and other fields. Electromagnetic flowmeter is a kind of induction meter according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction to measure the volume flow of conductive medium in the tube. After years of development, electromagnetic flowmeter has formed many kinds.

Electromagnetic flowmeter types include sewage type electromagnetic flowmeter, self-flow type electromagnetic flowmeter, anti-corrosion electromagnetic flowmeter, submersible electromagnetic flowmeter, high-pressure electromagnetic flowmeter, small-caliber electromagnetic flowmeter, trade settlement type electromagnetic flowmeter, sanitary type electromagnetic flowmeter, submersible electromagnetic flowmeter, plug-in type electromagnetic flowmeter, stainless steel electromagnetic flowmeter, intelligent anti-corrosion electromagnetic flowmeter Explosion-proof electromagnetic flowmeter, etc.

Intelligent development, as the world's scientific and technological trend, also deeply affects the development trend of electromagnetic flowmeters, intelligent electromagnetic flowmeters have also emerged. Intelligent electromagnetic flowmeter has more advanced functions, which is an important breakthrough in the history of electromagnetic flowmeter. The intelligent electromagnetic flowmeter can increase the power outage recording function: query the malicious power outage record at any time to prevent the flowmeter from not measuring or less measuring. Increase the lightning protection function: the direct cause of damage to many electromagnetic flowmeters is lightning, and it is irreparable. Increase the computer data acquisition function: the installation location of the Flow Meter is far away, it is not convenient to read the meter, and the flow data collected by the computer is updated once every 5 seconds. Increase the electrode self-test function: the electrode is a key component of the electromagnetic flowmeter, and the pollution of the electrode affects the flow measurement. The circuit part generates less heat: in outdoor field use, the high temperature in summer and its own heat production cause many electromagnetic flowmeters to burn out, especially a body type.

More electronic technologies, such as digital signal processing (DSP) and microprocessors, are being introduced into the flow meter, which enables the flow meter to be self-diagnostic and better communicate with the production control level. The improvement of performance better meets the needs of industry users, and creates more market application space for flowmeters.

Traditional mechanical flowmeters, such as differential pressure flowmeters, positive displacement flowmeters and variable area flowmeters, have been in the popularization stage, price competition is fierce, profit margins are decreasing, technological innovation is less, the market is relatively mature.

The innovation of flowmeters from mechanical flowmeters to electronic technology flowmeters is one of the most important development trends of flowmeters. Electromagnetic flowmeters, ultrasonic flowmeters, and vortex flowmeters use electrical principles to work, thereby avoiding the need to replace moving parts in the work of mechanical flowmeters. At the same time, the self-diagnosis function is introduced into the flow meter, making the flow meter not only a simple measurement tool, but more for the purpose of system maintenance, such as: empty pipeline detection and self-inspection. Moreover, after combining advanced communication technology in the electronic flow meter, the controller can obtain the flow data and historical data of the production site remotely and in real time.

The rapid development of the electromagnetic flowmeter industry has also brought huge opportunities and challenges to flowmeter manufacturers, and how to survive and occupy the market in the opportunities and challenges is very important. At present, price competition is a major competitive trend in the flow meter market, and this phenomenon is common in emerging economies, especially China. Price is often the most important determinant of purchasing behavior. In the long run, manufacturers pay more attention to price strategies, resulting in insufficient product innovation and hindering market development. In fact, the realization of product differentiation and customized production is an important breakthrough point for manufacturers in the fierce competition in mature markets. How to effectively obtain the actual needs of users and improve traditional products is a big challenge for manufacturers to differentiate and customize the production process.
