Electromagnetic Flow Meters

Daly Middle East supplies electromagnetic flow meters for conductive liquids in water, wastewater and industrial process applications across the UAE and GCC. Use this guide to decide which listed ABB or Siemens model to investigate before requesting a quotation. Begin with the liquid conductivity, whether the pipe remains full, the pipe diameter, normal and maximum flow range, installation point and the display, analogue, pulse, relay or digital output needed by the project.SELECTION START: electromagnetic measurement is normally considered when a conductive liquid flows through a full pipe. It is not a universal choice for every flow problem. Where the liquid is not conductive, the pipe is not full, the conduit is an open channel, or cutting into an existing line is impractical, a clamp-on ultrasonic or area-velocity approach may be a better fit.CHEMICAL DOSING AND SMALL PIPEWORK: start with the Siemens MAG 1100 W for water-industry chemical dosing and pulsating flows. The product page lists a compact wafer-style meter with an integral or remote MAG6000 transmitter and sizes from 2 mm to 100 mm. In the enquiry, confirm the pipe size, liquid, pulsation conditions, transmitter arrangement, output and communication requirement.WATER, WASTEWATER, SEWAGE AND SLUDGE: start with the Siemens MAG 5100 W where the application involves drinking water, groundwater, wastewater, sewage or sludge. The product page lists sizes from 15 mm to 1200 mm with the MAG6000 transmitter. Include the pipe diameter, liquid condition, normal and peak flow, lining and electrode needs, installation constraints and required output in the sizing request.POTABLE WATER MAINS, NETWORKS AND IRRIGATION: start with the ABB Aquamaster 4 electromagnetic flowmeter. The listed applications include potable-water mains, distribution networks, revenue metering and irrigation, with listed sizes from 40 mm to 2400 mm. Specify whether the project is a network meter, irrigation point, replacement or new installation, then share the size, flow range and communications requirement.WATER AND WASTEWATER APPLICATIONS: review the ABB WaterMaster electromagnetic flowmeter. The Daly product page describes water and wastewater measurement and an IP68-rated sensor. Confirm the pipe size, installation location, operating conditions and the signal or communication required by the receiving system before a configuration is proposed.PIPE SIZE AND INSTALLATION: nominal size alone does not complete the selection. Share the pipe material, internal or outside diameter as appropriate, available straight run, valve and pump locations, preferred mounting direction, access for maintenance, available power, grounding and earthing requirements, and whether the project is a replacement, new line, bypass or metering chamber. Installation photographs are particularly useful for retrofit and replacement enquiries.OUTPUTS AND INTEGRATION: tell us whether the meter needs only a local indication or must report to a PLC, BMS, SCADA, telemetry system, data logger or billing arrangement. Identify the required analogue, pulse, relay or digital communication requirement at the outset. The final product and transmitter configuration must match the control-system interface, not simply the pipe diameter.OPEN CHANNEL OR PARTIALLY FULL PIPE: do not select a full-pipe electromagnetic meter by default. For a channel, flume, weir, sewer or partially full pipe, review the industrial water flow meter selection guide and consider an area-velocity or open-channel approach. Include the channel shape, depth range, velocity range and existing hydraulic structure in the enquiry.NON-INVASIVE PIPE MEASUREMENT: for suitable clean liquids in accessible existing pipes, review our ultrasonic flow meter selection guide. A clamp-on transit-time option may be relevant when the pipe and liquid conditions are suitable and an interruption to the line is undesirable. Share the pipe material, outside diameter, wall thickness and liquid condition for an initial review.FREQUENT QUESTION: can an electromagnetic meter be used in an open channel? No. The listed electromagnetic products are intended for conductive liquids in full pipes. An open channel or partially full pipe needs a different measurement approach.FREQUENT QUESTION: what is required for a quotation? Send the liquid, conductivity where known, pipe size, normal and maximum flow, process temperature and pressure where relevant, installation details, required output or communication, and any lining or electrode preference. Daly Middle East can then assess the relevant listed ABB or Siemens model and configuration.REQUEST SIZING NOW: request an electromagnetic flow meter quotation with the project details above.
