Understanding Electromagnetic Flow Meter Technology
How Mag Flow Meters Work
Radar level transmitters are the most versatile, dependable level measurement devices. They send electromagnetic waves to measure level without any contact with the process media, thus, the risks of corrosion, coating, or contamination are totally ruled out. Today, frequency-modulated continuous wave radar transmitters can be very accurate even if process conditions are not stable: temperature may vary, pressure may change, dust, foam, or vapor may be present.
We have radar level transmitters that are ready for any task. They can be used for a simple water tank or for a chemical storage unit with challenging vapors and foam. They are perfect for big storage tanks where a long measurement range is required, they can work with low dielectric materials such as hydrocarbons and they can stay accurate even when there are interferences inside the tank.
Guided Wave Radar (Contact) Level Transmitters
Guided wave radar level detectors meld the dependability of radar technology with a probe that directs the signal straight to the liquid surface. It furnishes the most accurate measurement in narrow tanks, vessels with turbulence, and where non-contact radars may be confused by the interference caused by tank internals or nozzles.
These devices can be used almost without limitations for interface measurement, i.e., following the boundary between two liquids such as oil and water. The probe can be configured as a single rod, twin rod, or coaxial, thus, your process conditions will dictate which one to use. The guided wave radar is capable of withstanding high temperatures and pressures and yet its accuracy is at a level that meets the requirements of custody transfer and inventory management.
Ultrasonic Level Transmitters (Non-Contact)
What are ultrasonic level transmitters but cost-effective non-contact instruments able to measure levels in open tanks, sumps, and channels? They emit ultrasonic pulses which reflect from the surface of the liquid whose position is then found through the time-of-flight. They are really good for water, wastewater, and many chemical applications, especially when contact measuring is not necessary and not preferable.
We also have an ultrasonic transmitter which is suitable for the top of the tank and can be mounted there while another one can look upwards and be used for open channels and sumps. If you are ever confronted with varying ambient conditions and still want high measuring accuracy then you should know that with built-in temperature compensation it is possible. Moreover, by using advanced signal processing will get rid of those false drum echoes which come from the tank walls or internal structures.
Hydrostatic Pressure Level Transmitters
Hydrostatic level measurement even now still counts among the most dependable and simple ones liquid level monitoring methods. The pressure measured by the sensor is that which comes from the liquid column above it-the transmitter then changes this hydrostatic pressure directly into level. The invention is suitable for almost any liquid and can work with difficult conditions too, like high temperatures, pressures, and aggressive chemicals.
Among our hydrostatic level transmitters are submersible ones for wells and open tanks, diaphragm types that are flush-mounted for viscous fluids and solids buildup prevention, as well as remote seal versions where direct contact is not possible. Besides, they offer a great solution in terms of cost for money to be very good if used in price-sensitive scenarios that do not require the advanced features of radar technology.
Capacitance Level Transmitters
Capacitance level transmitters are powerful in the area of solids, slurries, or even extreme liquids. Basically, these types of devices record changes in capacitance since material level changes around a probe. They manage matter in which other devices fail, like powder, granules, sticky materials, and liquids with heavy foam or turbulence.
Firstly, we have point level switches for high or low alarms as well as continuous level transmitters for stock control. There are also instruments designed for conductive and non-conductive materials, high temperatures, and processes with buildup issues. The mining, cement, and food processing industries along with the bulk material handling sector are some of the fields where capacitance technology is indispensable.
Magnetostrictive Level Transmitters
In cases when the deepest level of accuracy and resolution are necessary, magnetostrictive level transmitters can be counted on to show great performance. The devices make the accuracy of ±0.5 mm or even better possible and thus, are perfect for custody transfer, batch processing, and any other cases where exact level control leads directly to product quality or operational efficiency.
One of the main applications of magnetostrictive devices is interface measurement where they keep a simultaneous record of several liquid boundaries in separator vessels and storage tanks. They can be found working in high-pressure, high-temperature situations like those in the oil and gas processing industry, yet, stability is still their feature which causes calibration to be required minimally.
Comprehensive Mag Flow Meter Product Range
Compact Electromagnetic Flow Meters
Compact magnetic flow meters combine the sensor and the transmitter into one unit, thus simplifying the installation and reducing the costs. These meters that save space are a good choice for pipes up to 150 mm in case there is a limited space for installation. We offer compact electromagnetic flow meters suitable for water distribution, chemical dosing, and general industrial applications where only basic measurement is required.
State-of-the-art compact models feature sturdy build with the protection of either IP67 or IP68, so they can be installed both outdoors and indoors. Local displays for on-site monitoring are present in a number of models, while digital communication protocols make it possible to remotely access measuring and diagnostic data.
Remote mount electromagnetic flow meters
are the answer when the process involves extreme temperatures, hazardous areas, or locations that are hard to reach. In these systems, the sensor and the transmitter are separated, and the electronics installed in a safe, easily accessible place not more than 100 meters away from the sensor.
The remote mount setting provides the greatest installation flexibility, especially in difficult situations. The transmitter can be not only in a climate-controlled place, but also very accessible for maintenance, whereas the sensor can be exposed to severe process conditions. We offer a remote mount mag flow meter to suit your needs that can handle pipe sizes ranging from 6mm to 3000mm.
Insertion electromagnetic flow meters
are a viable option for large pipes where full-bore mag flow meters are too costly. These devices are placed inside the pipe through a hot-tap fitting, they measure the velocity of the gas or liquid at a single point and then calculate the total flow based on the pipe geometry. Insertion mag flow meters are designed for usage in pipes from 100mm to several meters in diameter.
Both fixed and retractable insertion electromagnetic flow meters are available from us. Maintenance on retractable models can be done without process shutdown—a great scenario for operations, such as water treatment plants and cooling water systems, which have to run continuously.
food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries
The require highly hygienic standard-compliant electromagnetic flow meters. Our sanitary mag flow meters have 3-A, EHEDG, and ASME BPE certification for designs with smoothly finished surfaces of the electrodes, tri-clamp, or DIN 11851 connections, and materials that have been validated for contact with food and pharmaceutical products.
These specially designed mag flow meters never compromise their calibration or accuracy, even while going through clean-in-place and sterilize-in-place cycles that are done routinely. They are used in milk processing and brewing as well as in sterile pharmaceutical manufacturing, at which they provide a dependable measurement without endangering product purity or safety.
One such technology
as battery-powered electromagnetic flow meters proves to be extremely useful in situations where there is no power infrastructure. These inventive instruments can sustain their operation for 10 to 15 years on the internal batteries, so they are a perfect fit for water distribution networks, remote irrigation systems, and temporary measurement applications.
The battery-powered mag flow meters are equipped with an advanced power management system that prolongs the battery life while the accuracy of the measurement is kept at the same level. Many models have the feature of data logging and wireless communication, which allows remote monitoring without the need to go to the site. This technology has changed the face of water utility metering and agricultural water management.
Mag Flow Meter Applications Across Industries
Water and Wastewater Management
Electromagnetic flow meters are the most common measuring devices in the water cycle of the city, a desalination plant, and a wastewater treatment facility. Mag flow meters continuously provide precise and dependable measurements at every stage of the water cycle, from raw water intake measurement and treatment chemical dosing to final effluent monitoring and opening of the distribution network. Compared to other types, their features which allow dirty water handling and flow bidirectionality as well as wide flow ranges are the major reasons why they have become the first choice for water industry applications.
Chemical Processing and Manufacturing
Chemical plants depend on flow measurements that are able to deal with the corrosive, toxic and, at the same time, that which are of high value, need to be very safe and accurate. With suitable electrode and liner materials, mag flow meters can even measure from extremely dilute acids and bases to concentrated chemicals and solvents. Moving parts are absent, thus no leak paths are present, and very little maintenance is required, even in chemically hazardous services.
Mining and Mineral Processin
The abrasive slurries in mining activities do so much damage to mechanical flow meters that eventually, those flow meters are completely destroyed. However, electromagnetic flow meters can resolve these difficult issues very smoothly and thus they can handle the measurement of slurries that have up to 60% solid content by weight. The use of mag flow meters in mining has extended thus reliably measuring from flotation circuits and tailings management, through ore transport and grinding operations, to the most challenging mining environments.
Food and Beverage Production
Sanitary electromagnetic flow meters are the mainstay of accurate ingredient dosing, process control, and product transfer in dairy processing, brewing, soft drink manufacturing, and food production facilities. These meters retain their performance level while at the same time they satisfy very strict hygiene stipulations and can handle products ranging from ultra-thin liquids like juice to highly viscous materials like chocolate and cream.
Pulp and Paper Manufacturing
Electromagnetic flow meters are the main instruments used by paper mills extensively throughout production processes. These meters are instrumental in stock preparation and chemical additives, water management through effluent treatment in paper making, and can easily handle the fiber-laden liquids that are typical pulp and paper operations. The characteristic of bidirectional flow measurement is valuable, especially in paper making where the common flow reversals occur frequently.
Power Generation and HVAC
Power plants and district cooling systems exploit the potential of mag flow meters for cooling water measurement, boiler feedwater monitoring, and chemical treatment control. A feature of non-intrusive meters to measure large pipes without pressure loss makes electromagnetic flow meters the best flowmeters for high-volume applications where energy saving is a critical factor. While they are inserted into the pipe, many installations use insertion mag flow meters to reduce the overall cost of the project and at the same time, retain adequate accuracy.

Your Mag Flow Meter Questions Answered
What liquids can electromagnetic flow meters measure?
Mag flow meters measure any electrically conductive liquid with conductivity above approximately 5 microsiemens per centimeter. This includes water, wastewater, acids, bases, slurries, and most aqueous solutions. They work exceptionally well with dirty liquids, liquids containing suspended solids, and viscous fluids. However, electromagnetic flow meters cannot measure hydrocarbons, oils, gases, or steam since these materials aren’t sufficiently conductive.
How accurate are mag flow meters?
Modern electromagnetic flow meters typically achieve accuracy of ±0.2% to ±0.5% of reading, making them among the most accurate flow measurement technologies available. High-end models designed for custody transfer can achieve ±0.1% accuracy. Actual accuracy depends on proper sizing, installation, and maintaining minimum conductivity requirements. Unlike some technologies, mag flow meter accuracy remains stable across the flow range and doesn’t degrade with changes in fluid properties.
