Patent number: 11486748Abstract: The present invention relates to an electromagnetic flowmeter. The present invention provides an electromagnetic flowmeter for measuring flow of fluid flowing in a conduit of the electromagnetic flowmeter, wherein the electromagnetic flowmeter comprises: a pair of electrodes mounted on the conduit for measuring potential difference generated by the interaction of electromagnetic field in the fluid to determine the flow of fluid in the electromagnetic flowmeter; a processing unit, wherein the processing unit acquires signals from the pair of electrodes and processes the signal for measurement, a set of coils comprising at least two coils mounted on a surface of the conduit and excited by an excitation unit for generating an electromagnetic field, wherein a first coil from the set of coils is concentrically positioned with a second coil from the set of coil, and the second coil is placed within the enclosed surface area of the first coil.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2019Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: ABB Schweiz AGInventors: Subhashish Dasgupta, Simon Draper, Graham Watson
