Abstract
The present invention relates to magnetic flowmeters. More particularly, the present invention relates to a magnetic flowmeter specifically designed for the hydraulic fracturing industry that is capable of withstanding a variety of corrosive slurries, acids, bases, and solvents including a liner including partially stabilized magnesium zirconia (MgPSZ).
Claims20
A flow measurement system comprising:
- a primary and a secondary,
- with the primary comprising:
- a flow tube or pipe having two opposing ends, one or more electrodes comprising stainless steel, and integrated with a magnetic system,
- wherein the flow tube or pipe is at least partially lined with liner having corrosion resistance and comprising partially stabilized magnesium zirconia (MgPSZ) material;
- wherein the liner is mechanically affixed to the flow tube or pipe via heat shrink and without use of adhesives;
- with the secondary comprising a power supply with a synchronized measurement circuitry;
- and
- wherein the primary is tolerant of or configurable to electrical properties of the secondary and operably mates with the secondary.

A magnetic flowmeter comprising:
- a. a pipe or tube having an exterior surface and an interior surface, wherein the pipe or tube is at least partially lined on the interior surface with a liner comprising partially stabilized magnesium zirconia (MgPSZ), wherein the liner is mechanically affixed to the pipe or tube via heat shrink and without use of adhesives;
- b. at least one coil for generating a magnetic field affixed to the exterior surface of the pipe or tube and having an electrical connection;
- c. one or more electrodes having wiring and affixed to the pipe or tube;
- d. a shell enclosure, having a tubular neck protrusion, that surrounds the exterior of said coil and is affixed to said coil;
- and
- e, wherein the electrical connection of said coil and the wiring of the one or more electrodes are threaded through the neck of said shell and connected to a junction box having a circuit board for operation.
