Electromagnetic flow meter works on a principal of
faraday’s law or electromagnetic induction which states
that when a current carrying coinductor moves through a
stationary traverse magnetic field, then e.m.f. is induced
between the ends of the conductor and this e.m.f. is
proportional to relative velocity between conductor and
magnetic field
E = BLV where
B = magnetic induction
L = length of a conductor
V = velocity of the conductor relative to the magnetic
field
It consists of a flow tube inside a pipe which carries a
fluid flow. So when the fluid is passed through the flow
tube, it is visualized as a current carrying conductor
having a length equal to inside diameter of the flow tube.
Now the gas, steam and oils are having low electrical
conductance. So no E.M.F. can be generated in such case. So
electromagnetic flow meters can not be used for metering
gas, oil and steam.
In general electromagnetic flow meters can only be used to
measure the flow of fluid which are sufficient conductive
to generate e.m.f.

X is a solid having a white colour at room temperature. It has a density about 2g/cc. Although it has melting point near 325 degree Celsius, its properties start degrading above 260 degree Celsius. The coefficient of friction is very low about 0.1. It has very good dielectric properties especially at higher radio frequencies. It has a very high bulk resistivity. It is chemically inert. It is also resistant to van der Waals force. It is hydrophobic as well as lipophobic. Creep or ‘Cold Flow’ has been observed in X.
