Flow meter brings big benefits to large flow applications

When compared to heavier, more expensive magmeter devices which typically feature a continuous measuring tube for large pipe diameters and require expensive, time-consuming installation with heavy equipment, Baumer says the PFM43 offers significant benefits. For example, it can be quickly and simply installed, even in existing pipes resulting in considerable time and cost savings. Also, thanks to its high measuring accuracy (measuring deviation less than 2%) the sensor plays a crucial role in ensuring highly accurate and efficient operation of larger, industrial flow systems.

The PFM43 immersion flow meter is easy-to-install and offers the capability to measure volume flow, flow velocity and temperature at water pressures up to 100 bar in the simplest way. Also, as a lightweight device weighing up to a maximum of 5 kg means it can be a one- man installation process, even in applications with large pipe diameters. Therefore, users benefit from time and cost savings during installation and maintenance, whilst also minimising storage costs. To simplify commissioning the PFM43 can be easily parameterised via a USB connection in conjunction with the Baumer Control Panel.
