Water Flow Measurement Solution for Steel Plants

Reliable Flow Monitoring in Harsh Steelmaking Environments

This project is an industrial water flow monitoring project for a steel plant in Central China. With densely arranged pipelines and valves on site, continuous flow measurement is required for multiple pipe sizes including DN50, DN65 and DN80. Electromagnetic flow meters, based on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, are adopted in this solution. The meter specifications are selected according to actual working conditions of each pipeline. Instruments are properly positioned in the complex piping environment to ensure full-pipe measurement and reliable grounding, minimizing the interference from air bubbles and electromagnetic noise. The flow meters collect real-time data of circulating cooling water and transmit signals to the upper monitoring system to realize long-term stable monitoring for pipelines of different diameters. The solution meets the management requirements of industrial water systems in steel production and can serve as a reference for flow measurement of circulating water and cooling water in metallurgy, energy and other process industries.
