Adaptability to Medium Characteristics and Environment<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Electromagnetic water meters have inherent limitations regarding the medium and environment. Always verify during selection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Medium Conductivity:<\/strong>\u00a0Only applicable to conductive liquids (conductivity >20 \u03bcS\/cm); pure water and oils cannot be measured.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Corrosiveness and Impurities:<\/strong>\u00a0For strong acids, alkalis, or fluids containing particles, use combinations like tantalum\/platinum-iridium alloy electrodes + PTFE linings for corrosion resistance and anti-adhesion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Temperature and Pressure Limits:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>High-temperature media (>80\u00b0C) require confirming lining temperature resistance (e.g., PTFE linings suitable for 99\u00b0C);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High-pressure pipelines (>1.6 MPa) require customized pressure ratings to prevent pipe burst risks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Electromagnetic Interference Environments:<\/strong>\u00a0Prioritize models with anti-electromagnetic interference capabilities near pump stations or substations to avoid measurement signal distortion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"722\" height=\"552\" src=\"https:\/\/jrhmeter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Electromagnetic-water-meter.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1744\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jrhmeter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Electromagnetic-water-meter.jpg 722w, https:\/\/jrhmeter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Electromagnetic-water-meter-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jrhmeter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Electromagnetic-water-meter-600x459.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 722px) 100vw, 722px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Matching Accuracy and Flow Range<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Inappropriate flow range selection is a primary cause of measurement errors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Range Ratio (R-value):<\/strong>\u00a0Select the R-value based on actual minimum\/maximum flow rates (e.g., R400 suits scenarios with large flow fluctuations) to avoid undercounting at low flows or overrange at high flows.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Accuracy Traps:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Insist on Class 1 accuracy (error \u2264 \u00b11%) for trade settlement scenarios; Class 2 is acceptable for civilian use. Be wary of claims of &#8220;high accuracy across the entire range,&#8221; as most meters maintain nominal accuracy only in specific flow intervals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure a straight pipe section upstream of the meter is \u22655 times the pipe diameter to avoid accuracy loss from disturbances caused by bends or valves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4.
