An in-line flow meter for accurate feedback in critical flow applications, now in larger sizes
Now available from sensor market leader ifm electronic are larger versions of the successful SM Series Magmeter first seen a year ago. This magnetic inductive flow meter is designed to reliably detect the flow rate of conductive media will now cope with to up 50 l/m in the SM7 series or even 100 l/m in the SM8 variant. The SM Magmeter's stainless steel, mechanically-robust design is mounted in-line providing a compact, low-profile installation for process control.
The sensor display includes a 4-digit numeric display with eight integrated LEDs that together indicate the flow rate, total volume, and temperature of all conductive media. Simple pushbutton programming quickly establishes application parameters and the flow meter can be set-up to provide a switching output, analogue output and pulsed output.

The basic unit is calibrated in SI units, while for those exporting to USA for example, further devices calibrated in gallon or Fahrenheit can be supplied.

The sensor offers high accuracy with a response time of less than 0.15 seconds and a repeatability of ±0.2%. Electrical connection is made through an M12 connector.

The principle of operation is based upon Faraday's Law of electromagnetic induction that detects the flow velocity of an electronically conducting fluid through a defined pipe diameter. Faraday’s Law states that the voltage induced across any conductor as it moves at right angles through a magnetic field is proportional to the velocity of that conductor.

Typical applications include: flow and temperature monitoring through heat exchangers, monitoring cooling water on welding machines, batching applications, totalize flow of process water, pump run dry protection, and guarding welding equipment against loss of cooling water
