 Electromagnetic
flowmeters

The principle of electromagnetic flowmetering has various special

advantages over other methods of measurement:

● Measurement largely independent of pressure,

density,
Electromagnetic flowmeters from KROHNE temperature,
are designed to measure the volumetric viscosity
flowrate of liquids and flow profile
(with and without solids contents),
pulps, pastes and slurries in practically all ● Short inlet and outlet runs
industrial sectors. ● Unimpeded tube cross-section
The only requirement is that the process
product should have a defined minimum ● No additional pressure drop
electrical conductivity. ● No moving parts

● Any installation position

● Turn-down ratio 100:1

KROHNE is of course your competent

partner in other sectors of instrumentation
and control.

Ultra-modern electronic equipment and

state-of-the-art production processes,
combined with an efficient quality
management system,
ensure consistently high precision
and quality in variable-area flowmeters,
CORIMASS mass flow meters,
level measuring devices, as well as
engineering solutions & systems
and communications engineering.

 Always one step ahead with KROHNE

This highly accurate measurement technology is available with integrally

or remote mounted converter, some with measuring errors of less than
0.2% of the measured value.
The primary head is installed in the pipeline, while the signal converter
for signal processing is remote mounted in a field housing or 19"
plug-in unit.
In the integral system, the signal converter is mounted in a housing
with high protection category directly on the primary head.

With meter sizes of DN 2.5 - 3000 / 1/10" - 120",

measurements can be carried out from 2 l/h to 300 000 m3/h
and more.
Most of the devices are approved for use in hazardous locations.
Various materials are available for the measuring tube,
liner and electrodes of the flowmeters for most applications.

the most accurate calibration method of all.
The KROHNE calibration rigs are the world's biggest
