About Remote Type Electro Flow Meter
FLOWTECH Measuring Instruments Private Limited is a leading name in the industry for manufacturing, exporting and supplying a prominent quality Remote Type Electro Flow Meter. It is a device often utilized within fuel transfer pump installations and measure the amount of diesel been dispensed into the vehicle. It is widely used in the market for its accurate results. While choosing for flow meters, it is important to consider the flow rate capacity you require and the display type of the flow meter to ensure that it best suits your application. The meter is commonly used in industries like metal, oil, chemical, aviation, scientific research and others. Some intangible factors to consider while choosing flow meters:
Measurement:
Electromagnetic flow meters may have either Direct Current (DC) or Alternating Current (AC) excitation. When systems are AC excited, electrostatic and/or electromagnetic noise may influence the measurements. A DC excited system however, is less sensitive to noise produced by electromagnetic induction, simply because the voltage induced over the electrodes will be a DC voltage. The drawbacks are measurement errors due to electro-chemical polarization between the electrodes and the fluid.The Electromagnetic Flow Meters are excited by a 2.5 Hz square wave and thereby eliminate the drawbacks of both DC and AC systems. A microprocessor receives and measures the amplitude of the pulse with a 16 - bit resolution, and converts and displays the result on the display unit.
Working Principle of Remote Type Electro Flow Meter:
This is working on the principal of faraday`s law which states that when a conductor moves through a magnetic field of a given strength a voltage is produced in the conductor and proportion to the relative velocity between the conductor and the magnetic field.

FAQs of Remote Type Electro Flow Meter:
Q: How does the remote type sensor with cable connection enhance installation flexibility?
A: The separate sensor with cable connection allows the flow meter to be installed in hard-to-access or hazardous locations, while the transmitter can be mounted remotely (up to 50 metres away). This setup is ideal for sites where environmental conditions require protective measures or space constraints demand flexible solutions.
Q: What media types can the Electro Flow Meter accurately measure?
A: This flow meter is designed to measure the flow of conductive liquids, including industrial water, acids, alkalis, and slurries. Its corrosion-resistant components and durable lining materials ensure reliable performance with aggressive and abrasive media.
Q: When is on-site calibration of the flow meter recommended?
A: On-site calibration is advisable when adapting the flow meter to unique process conditions or after installation on new systems. While factory calibration ensures high accuracy (0.5% of reading), periodic on-site calibration can help maintain precision in environments with changing variables or stringent compliance requirements.
Q: Where is remote monitoring typically used in flow meter applications?
A: Remote monitoring is frequently utilized in industrial plants, effluent treatment facilities, and manufacturing sites where process control and quick response times are critical. The RS485 Modbus output and 4-20mA analogue signal enable seamless integration with centralized management and SCADA systems.
Q: What are the benefits of IP68 and IP67 ingress protection for the device?
