IFM Electronic product story

Magnetic inductive flowmeter is designed to reliably detect the flow rate of conductive media up to 25 litre/min.
Another innovation from IFM Electronic comes in the form of the new SM Series Magmeter, a magnetic inductive flowmeter that is designed to reliably detect the flow rate of conductive media up to 25 litre/min.
The SM Magmeter's stainless-steel mechanically robust design is mounted inline providing a compact low-profile installation for process control.
The sensor display includes a four-digit numeric display with eight integrated LEDs that together indicate the flow rate (in gallons or litres per minute), total volume (gallons or litres) and temperature (Celsius or Fahrenheit) of all conductive media.
Simple pushbutton programming quickly establishes application parameters and the flowmeter can be setup to provide a switching output, analogue output and pulsed output.
The sensor offers high accuracy with a response time of less than 0.15s and a repeatability of +/-0.2%.
Electrical connection is made through an M12 connector.
The principle of operation is based on 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, totalise flow of process water, pump run dry protection, and guarding welding equipment against loss of cooling water.
