FLOMID FX series

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The FLOMID FX is an electromagnetic flowmeter designed with a modular approach, available in two configurations: a compact version with integrated sensor and electronics, and a separate version connected by a cable. It supports various pipe fittings and complies with standards like EN 1092-1, ANSI, and JIS, as well as PED 97/23/CE standards.

Benefits
The flowmeter offers independence from flow profile, minimal zero drift, and readings unaffected by density, temperature, viscosity, or pressure. It features zero pressure loss, low power consumption, and requires no maintenance. It can be installed in any position as long as the pipe remains full and is compatible with short straight pipe sections.

Technical Specifications
The sensor provides an accuracy of ±0.5% and supports pressures from PN16 to PN250. It is suitable for pipe diameters from DN3 to DN500 and operates within specific temperature ranges depending on the liner material.

Measurement Principle
The flowmeter operates based on Faraday's induction law, where a conductive liquid generates a voltage when flowing through a magnetic field, proportional to the liquid's velocity.

Installation Recommendations
For optimal performance, the pipe must be full, and electrodes should contact the liquid. The sensor should be mounted horizontally, vibration minimized, and proper grounding ensured. Straight pipe sections before and after the flowmeter are recommended.

Metering Body Selection
The metering body should ensure a liquid velocity between 1 and 3 m/s, with a preference for 3-5 m/s for liquids with suspended solids.

Mounting and Dimensions
Detailed dimensions for various mounting standards and pipe diameters are provided.

Electronic Control Units
The Series MX electronic control units offer functionalities such as flow indication, flow rate controls, and outputs for analog and pulse signals, compatible with all FLOMID FX sensor models.

FLOMID FX series-2

Measurement Principle The measurement principle is based on Faraday's induction law. A conductive liquid (>5uS/cm) creates a voltage Tm when flowing in a pipe of diameter D, at an average velocity of Vm, through a magnetic field B (which is perpendicular to the flow direction). This voltage is proportional to the velocity of the liquid. Two electrodes, mounted perpendicular to the magnetic field inside the pipe, transmit the voltage Tm to the control unit. Tm = Voltage across the electrodes B = Magnetic field strength Basic Installation Recommendations For the mechanical installation the most...

FLOMID FX series-3

Straight sections of pipe are necessary for the correct working of the flowmeter. Curves, pipe reductions, control elements and pumps should be at least 5DN upstream and 3DN downstream from the flowmeter. Valves should be downstream from the flowmeter to keep the pipe full and to avoid vacuums which can damage the flowmeter liner. Pumps should be upstream from the flowmeter to avoid When installing near curves, control elements and pumps, a minimum straight section of pipe must be installed before and after these elements (Minimum 5DN before and 3DN after). Pressure loss when reducing the pipe...

Flow rate table Metering body selection The diagram shows the relation between the liquid speed and the flow rate for different body sizes. The metering body diameter should be chosen to obtain a maximum normal working liquid velocity of about 3-4 m/s. The minimum working liquid velocity should not be below A recommended working liquid When the liquid has solids in suspension, it is better to work metering body.
