Measuring Conductive Liquids for Food and Wastewater Applications

The flow of conductive fluids can be calculated using the FMG600 Series electromagnetic flowmeters. These devices have a lining of PTFE and contain no moving parts, ensuring that they can be used with wastewater, pulp, food, and slurries. Available outputs include analog, frequency, and RS485 communications. However, additional mounting upon sanitary tri-clamps grants use of these devices in situations which are not previously open to magmeters. Both local- and remote-display models are purchasable.
