Low Flow Electromagnetic Flow Meter
Item# (PN): FMG70B_serie Shipping and Payment
Measures Flow from 0.5 l/min. No Moving Parts. No Flow Obstructions. Maintenance-Free. Fast Response Time (< 500 ms). Minimal Straight Pipe Requirements. More
The FMG70B Series from OMEGA is a trio of extremely compact, low cost, inductive magnetic flow sensors. This product line allows a unique and highly reliable measuring technique to be introduced into areas of process control previously considered not possible.
Changes of temperature, density, viscosity, concentration or electrical conductivity (minimum conductivity of 50 µs/cm) of the fluid do not affect the output signal.
FMG70B series can be used in areas where flow sensors with moving parts e. g. paddle wheel sensors, cannot be applied due to contamination/particulate in the media. The sensor is intended for continuously measuring of flow rates or for dosing/batching of electrically conductive liquids (minimum conductivity 50 S/cm). The output signal frequency (or current) is proportional to the flow. Two options are available for output signals, frequency or analog.

What is a mass flow meter and how does it work?
A thermal mass flow meter measures the flow rate of gas mass based on the convective heat transfer of a heated surface to the flowing fluid. The components of a basic thermal mass flow meter include two temperature sensors with an electric heater between them. The heater can protrude into the fluid stream or can be external to the pipe.
In the past, mass flow was often calculated from the outputs of a volumetric flow meter and a densitometer. Density was either directly measured, or was calculated using the outputs of process temperature and pressure transmitters...
