Electromagnetic flow meters, also known as magnetic flow meters or mag meters do not have any moving parts, therefore they do not create any pressure drops in the system and are suitable for all conductive or water-based liquids. These meters are cost-effective, reliable, bi-directional, and deliver highly accurate volumetric flow measurement.

The FLOW-38 mag meters are comprised of a sensor (flow tube with electrodes) and transmitter (evaluation unit or display) that work hand-in-hand to measure liquid flow. The flow meter (installed in-line) measures an induced voltage as the liquid flows in the pipe through the flow tube. The transmitter takes the voltage generated by the sensor, converts the voltage into a flow measurement value and transmits that to a local display or a control system.

The FLOW-38 electromagnetic flow meter is designed for a wide range of fluid measurements in various industries such as water & waste water, agriculture or irrigation systems, food processing (dairies, breweries, etc.), paper industry, power engineering or mining. Because the electromagnetic flow meter design does not leave any protruded wetted parts or obstructions in the pipe, they can be used for an array of applications from clean and sanitary liquids to slurries and highly abrasive or corrosive fluids.

The meter’s transmitter is offered in three versions. The first is the standard design (field display head), the advantage of which is primarily its high IP rating (IP67) or rotatability of up to 350° that offers maximum convenience while taking reading off the screen in the field. The standard design can be made either in compact (meter-mounted) or separated versions (remote or wall mounted). The second type of design is the DIN rail design that offers the possibility of mounting the display on all standard DIN rails in the market. Lastly, the panel design allows the users to mount the display remotely in an electrical panel inside a control room.

The flow meter offers a wide range of outputs and communications for connecting to a SCADA or various other control systems. There are two pulse outputs for the customer (400 Hz max.) with the optional setting to flow switch/state/direction, 4÷20 mA current output or RS485 communication (M-BUS/Mod-Bus protocols). Data can be stored in micro SD card also in datalogger mode.

Users have the flexibility to choose from a wide range of liner materials to match their applications. These options include hard and soft rubber, rubber with certificate for drinking water, PTFE, PFA or E-CTFE. Users can also choose various types of process connections to match their process requirements, such as flange, sandwich, (inter-flange), threaded and dairy screwed (DIN 11851) or clamp types.

Main Product Highlights: 

› Reliable and Repeatable Measurements

The FLOW-38 flow meter features complex, processor-based signal processing with accuracy up to ±0.5%, and repeatability of up to ±0.2 % with sufficient straight run.

› Application Versatility.

Measures all conductive liquids such as water or wastewater, and other water-based liquids that have a minimum electrical conductivity, making it a versatile solution for a plethora of applications.

› Virtually No Maintenance

The flow meter does not have any moving parts in the flow tube, hence minimizing periodic maintenance requirements thus increasing plant availability and profitability.

› Multiple Design Configurations

The transmitter is offered in three designs to meet any site requirement: meter mounted, wall mounted, and panel mounted.
