Magnetic flow meters (MAG flow meters) are volumetric flow meters that operate without any moving parts and are ideal for potable water and wastewater applications as well as ideal for any conductive or water based clean or dirty fluid.  Magnetic flow meters will generally not work with hydrocarbons, distilled water, and many non-aqueous solutions as they require a conductive fluid of 5 microSiemens/cm minimum.

The table below gives a guideline of the nominal maximum GPM for various pipe sizes. Flows in well designed piping systems, to minimize wear and noise, and energy, are typically no more than 3 m/s max. Note these meters can easily go to 15 m/s for systems, such as high pressure fire fighting systems and blowdown systems.

Quick video above showing how to use the front panel buttons. The SECRET password to CHANGE variables is 03210 where 00521 is for VIEWING only. To get back to NORMAL operation hold the Enter button (the right most button) for 3 to 5 seconds. Password to Configure Calibration is 19818

Video above shows how to set up the Flow Units and Full Scale for those units. Note that this scaling is for driving the 4-20 mA and the frequency output so that the Full Scale value at 20 mA and at full scale Frequency is the number that is set. In this case the 4-20 and the frequency will output 20 mA and 5,000 Hz when the display shows 200 GPM. If the display goes OVER 200 GPM the 4-20 and the Frequency will increase until it "bumps it's head" on the maximum value. If the value on the display is GREATER than the value in Full Scale then one would adjust this value to accommodate the anticipated maximum value.

The video above shows how to set up the meter for Pulse and Frequency and shows how the 4-20 mA is configured.

Simulating and validating the 4-20 mA output using the User Interface with 03210is detailed below. You may ALTER these values (AnalogZero and AnlgRange) using 03210 and they will revert when you exit.

Note the 4-20 mA output for this meter is POWERED by the meter. DO NOT connect to a PLC that provides 24 VDC. Connection is made to the 4-20 mA signal using a reading mode just like a Fluke Meter configured to read 4-20 mA DC. The MAG meter provides the 24 VDC for outputting the value to the INPUT of your PLC. Every PLC has the ability to be configured to read this type of 4-20 mA output. (Note: From the main menu the AnalogZero is 49 hits of the UP arrow.) (ADJUSTMENT of the 4-20 Output drive is attained using secret password of 19818 and is risky to use.)

 The video below shows how to VALIDATE the 4-20 mA signal into your PLC or reading device. Note: If this DOES NOT WORK a likely cause is the power supply does not have enough "power" to provide to the meter. The meter requires a MAX of 500 mA so have a power supply that has the capability to DELIVER 500 mA, even on "start up" where the inrush current given to the electromagnetic coils can rush over 500mA for a few milliseconds.

Vortex Meter Velocity Ranges:

The Vortex meter has different minimum and maximum flow velocities it can measure based on the fluid type and meter size. Please note the values below for proper sizing of your meter. 

• Steam:

• Gas: 

• Liquid: 

Nominal Vortex Flow Rates for Air

The table below gives the minimum, nominal, and maximum velocities for the Vortex Meter for gases to assist users familiar with Thermal Mass Flow Meter sizing guides relative to air, with a density of 0.075 lb/ft^3 for reference. As the pressure goes up the flows go up as well. For example, if the pressure is DOUBLED, so too does the mass flow. Download chart below here:

 IMPORTANT Note to Thermal Mass Flow Meter users...

Did you know that Multivariable Vortex Flow Meters offer a significant advantage over Thermal Mass Flow Meters when it is not necessary to measure ultra low or ultra high flows?

Did you know that a Multivariable Vortex Meter is not affected by gas composition? This means you can change gas composition and STILL report the proper Mass Flow! Why utilize a Gas Chromatograph to determine gas composition to correct your Thermal Mass Flow Meter measurement? If you need ultra low flows it makes sense but if your minimum flows are within the measuring range of a Vortex meter then consider a Multivariable Vortex Mass Flow Meter.

Ever have problems with temperature swings causing your Thermal Mass Flow meter to over or under report the flow measurement? The Multivariable Vortex Mass Flow Meter does not exhibit these symptoms simply because the vortex shedding velocity is not a function of temperature or pressure. And, with the Multivariable Vortex Meters built in Pressure and Temperature sensors you can get true Mass Flow, Pressure, AND Temperature and even gather Volume flow on those rare occasions when deemed necessary. And, you have a true pressure measurement as well as the Mass Flow and temperature. All at a price very competitive with Thermal Mass Flow Meters.

HOWEVER, if you DO need very low or very high flows we suggest the use of Thermal Mass Flow Meters and suggest you consider the use of the Sage Metering Prime for the most cost effective solution. Tell them we sent you! Visit Sage Metering if you need to measure very low flows, or need an Insertion Thermal Mass Flow Meter. Refer to the chart above for the minimum and maximum flows.

Notes about ZERO Calibration on Coriolis meters.

NOTE: It is critical to invoke the zero point calibration after installation.

Every Coriolis Meter must be zeroed in the final installation point with the fluid that will be measured.

Make sure the meter has warmed up for at least 15 minutes before invoking the zero function. Make sure the measuring tube is fully filled with liquid. Turn off the stop valves, make sure the liquid is in a stationary state, and enter password 20 to invoke calibrate the zero point. The zero function is in process when the display indicates "Adjust zero" for about 30 seconds and then reverts to the normal display mode, after you hit the bottom left Enter button to start the function. This function is CRITICAL to allow the meter to determine the resonant frequency of the measuring tube is to determine the density of the fluid within it. This step cannot be skipped. Once this step is complete you will want to confirm the measured density is accurate.

This is done in the main running screen by touching the up arrow (upper right hand corner) and confirm the indicated density  agrees with the density of your fluid.

Coriolis mass flow meters directly measure the mass flow and the density of the fluid. The volume flow rate is calculated by mass flow divided by density. If the density measured at the zero point is not accurate, then the flow rates will be affected as well.

We show the process using the touch screen below
