초록 ▼

A transmitter for a magnetic flowmeter comprises a current source, memory and a signal processor. The current source energizes the flowmeter, such that the flowmeter generates an induced electromotive force in response to a process flow. The memory stores a flow configuration that describes a flow pipe disturbance in the process flow. The signal processor determines the flow rate as a function of the induced electromagnetic force, and as a further function of the flow configuration.

The invention claimed is: 1. A transmitter for a magnetic flowmeter, the transmitter comprising: a current source for energizing the flowmeter, such that the flowmeter generates an induced electromotive force in response to a process flow; memory for storing a non-conforming flow configuration, wherein the non-conforming flow configuration describes an actual flow pipe disturbance in the process flow, and wherein the flow pipe disturbance is located within five pipe diameters upstream or two pipe diameters downstream of the magnetic flowmeter, as installed in the process flow; and a signal processor for determining a flow rate as a function of the induced electromotive force and the non-conforming flow configuration; wherein the signal processor corrects the flow rate based on the flow pipe disturbance such that the magnetic flowmeter achieves a rated accuracy of one fifth percent to less than one half percent in the non-conforming flow configuration. 2. The transmitter of claim 1, wherein the flow pipe disturbance is located within five pipe diameters upstream of the magnetic flowmeter. 3. The transmitter of claim 1, wherein the flow pipe disturbance is located within two pipe diameters downstream of the magnetic flowmeter. 4. The transmitter of claim 1, wherein the flow pipe disturbance comprises a valve. 5. The transmitter of claim 1, wherein the flow pipe disturbance comprises a reducer or an expander. 6. The transmitter of claim 1, wherein the flow pipe disturbance comprises an elbow. 7. The transmitter of claim 1, wherein the flow pipe disturbance comprises a tee. 8. The transmitter of claim 1, wherein the function of the non-conforming flow configuration comprises a rotational angle of the flow pipe disturbance. 9. The transmitter of claim 1, further comprising a local user interface for inputting the non-conforming flow configuration to the memory. 10. The transmitter of claim 1, further comprising a remote interface for inputting the non-conforming flow configuration to the memory. 11. A magnetic flowmeter comprising: a pipe section; a coil proximate a radially outer boundary of the pipe section; a current source for energizing the coil to generate a magnetic field inside the pipe section; a probe extending through the pipe section to sense a Faraday voltage induced by process flow through magnetic field; a storage device for storing a non-conforming flow configuration representing an actual flow pipe disturbance in the process flow, wherein the flow pipe disturbance is located within five pipe diameters upstream or two pipe diameters downstream of the magnetic flowmeter, as installed in the process flow; and a processor to determine a rate of the process flow as a function of the Faraday voltage and the non-conforming flow configuration; where in the signal processor corrects the rate of the process flow based on the flow pipe disturbance such that the magnetic flowmeter achieves a rated accuracy of one fifth percent to less than one half percent in the non-conforming flow configuration. 12. The flowmeter of claim 11, wherein the flow pipe disturbance comprises a change in cross-sectional flow area. 13. The flowmeter of claim 11, wherein the flow pipe disturbance comprises a change in flow direction. 14. The flowmeter of claim 11, further comprising an interface for inputting the configuration representing the flow pipe disturbance to the storage device. 15. A method for measuring a flow rate, the method comprising: storing a non-conforming flow configuration describing an actual flow pipe disturbance in a process flow, wherein the flow pipe disturbance is located within five pipe diameters upstream or two pipe diameters downstream of a magnetic flowmeter, as installed in the process flow; generating a magnetic field across the process flow; sensing an electromotive force induced across the process flow by the magnetic field; and determining the flow rate as a function of the electromotive force and as a further function of the non-conforming flow configuration; and correcting the flow rate based on the flow pipe disturbance such that the magnetic flowmeter achieves a rated accuracy of one fifth percent to less than one half percent in the non-conforming flow configuration. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein storing the flow configuration comprises storing an upstream or downstream position of the flow pipe disturbance in the process flow. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein storing the flow configuration comprises storing a type of the flow pipe disturbance in the process flow. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein storing the flow configuration comprises storing a rotational angle of the flow pipe disturbance in the process flow. 19. The method of claim 15, wherein the further function of the flow configuration comprises a k-factor based on a calibration of the flow rate when subject to the flow pipe disturbance in the process flow.
