There are many types of flowmeters, such as differential pressure flowmeters, photoelectric flowmeters, turbine flowmeters, electromagnetic flowmeters, vortex flowmeters, thermal mass flowmeters, Hall flowmeters and so on. Some of them need to use magnets (like Hall flowmeter), and there is no need to use (like photoelectric flowmeter), so today we talk about: the magnetization direction of the flowmeter magnet.

The magnetization direction of the magnet used in the flow meter is usually determined by the technical design and application requirements, in the flow meter, the magnet is usually used to produce a stable magnetic field.

Magnets in flowmeters have several common magnetization directions, which depend on the type and design of the flowmeter. Here are two of the common directions of magnetization:

1. Axial magnetization:

In axial magnetization, the magnetization direction of the magnet is parallel to the direction of the fluid flow. This direction of magnetization is often used in turbine flowmeters and some vortex flowmeters.

2. Radial magnetization:

In radial magnetization, the magnetization direction of the magnet is perpendicular to the direction of the fluid flow, that is, the magnetic field radiates from the center of the pipe or guides from the outside to the center of the pipe. This direction of magnetization is often used in magnetic induction flowmeters, such as eddy current flowmeters.

Illustration is radial multipole magnetized ring magnet for water flowmeter

Like the ring magnet used on the water flow sensor is basically radially magnetized, and the magnet material is mainly ferrite, such as sintered ferrite, injection molded ferrite, and some with impels, the commonly used magnetizing poles are 2 poles, 4 poles, 6 poles, 10 poles and so on.
