Abstract:
The paper describes a modified non-contact Hall sensor based centrifugal and momentum force type flow transducer with simple design, low cost and rugged construction. In this transducer two identical permanent magnets are fixed on the two ends of the common balance lever on which sensing U-tube and dummy U-tube are placed at equal distances from the pivot. The movement of lever ends with variation of flow rate, changes the magnet positions with respect to the two identical Hall sensors fixed at two locations just below the magnets. Thus the outputs of the Hall sensors supplied from a stabilized DC source vary with the variation of flow rate. The difference between these outputs is a DC voltage signal non-linearly related with flow rate.
