Electromagnetic Flow Meter
The Chikara’s Electromagnec Flow Meter is a highly advanced and dependable instrument, specifically
designed to accurately measure flow rates in conducve liquids, acids, alkalies, water, pulps, and slurries.
For various industrial applicaons, the flow meter provides a maintenance-free soluon with an
unparalleled blend of performance, flexibility, and cost-effecveness. Its non-intrusive design makes it perfect
for applicaons where contaminaon is a problem because it doesn’t require any contact with the fluid.
It also has a high degree of accuracy, typically within 0.5% of full scale.
- Accuracy ±0.5%
- No Moving Parts
- Bidirectional Measurement
- Low Maintenance
Product Overview
In an electromagnetic flow meter, a magnetic field is generated by a set of coils surrounding the flow tube. When a conductive liquid flows through this magnetic field, an electrical voltage is induced in the fluid. The magnitude of this induced voltage is directly proportional to the velocity of the liquid flowing through the pipe. This voltage is measured by electrodes positioned perpendicular to both the direction of the liquid flow and the magnetic field, allowing the flow rate to be accurately calculated.
Industrial Electromagnetic Flow Meters
High-Accuracy Solutions for Modern Fluid Management
Whether you are managing industrial process water or meeting regulatory requirements, our Electromagnetic Flow Meter technology provides the reliability you need. Designed for conductive liquids, our meters offer an unobstructed flow path, ensuring zero pressure drop and maximum efficiency.
Why Choose Our Magnetic Flow Meter Technology?
In the world of flow measurement, the Magnetic Flow Meter (or Mag Flow Meter) stands out for its lack of moving parts. Unlike a traditional Turbine Flow Meter which can wear down over time due to mechanical friction, our Electromagnetic Meter solutions use Faraday’s Law of Induction to provide stable, long-term accuracy.

Optimize Your Infrastructure Today
Don’t settle for outdated measurement tools. Upgrade to an Electromagnetic Water Flow Meter that offers the “fit and forget” reliability your facility deserves. Whether you need a simple Digital Water Flow Meter or a complex industrial Mag Flow Meter, we have the stock and expertise to help.
Working Principle
In Electromagnetic Flow Meter, the magnetic field is generated by a set of coils. As the conductive liquid passes through the electromagnetic field, an electric voltage is induced in the liquid which is directly proportional to its velocity. The induced voltage is perpendicular to both the liquid flow direction and the electromagnetic field direction.
Benefits
No Pressure Drop: Electromagnetic flow meters use less energy since they don’t cause a pressure drop, in contrast to conventional flow meters.
Low total cost of ownership due to low maintenance requirements and lengthy operational life.
Versatility: Due to its great flexibility and broad measuring range, it is appropriate for a diverse variety of applications like acidic chemicals, corrosive liquids, wastewater, cold/warm/hot water; and industries like food processing, pharmaceuticals, power generation industries, textile industries, pulp and paper industries, etc.

FAQ
What is the difference between an Electromagnetic Meter and a Turbine Meter?
An Electromagnetic Meter has no moving parts and relies on magnetic fields, making it ideal for dirty or debris-heavy liquids. A Turbine Flow Meter uses a mechanical rotor, which is excellent for clean, low-viscosity fluids but requires more frequent maintenance.
Is this suitable for groundwater monitoring?
Yes, our CGWA Flow Meter models are specifically designed to meet the telemetry and accuracy standards required by the Central Ground Water Authority.
