Selection criteria for Magnetic flowmeters

The key questions which need to be answered before selecting a magnetic flowmeter are:

  • Is the fluid conductive or water based?

  • Is the fluid or slurry abrasive?

  • Do you require an integral display or remote display?

  • Do you require an analog output?

  • What is the minimum and maximum flow rate for the flow meter?

  • What is the minimum and maximum process pressure?

  • What is the minimum and maximum process temperature?

  • Is the fluid chemically compatible with the flow meter wetted parts?

  • What is the size of the pipe?

  • Is the pipe always full?
