描述
The Picomag Electromagnetic Flow Meter is designed for skid builders, equipment manufacturers, OEM machine builders, and process engineers who need accurate flow measurement in compact piping systems. It combines flow, conductivity, and temperature measurement in one device, reducing installation space, wiring complexity, and commissioning time for utility applications.
Overview
Designed for Compact Utility Systems
Unlike conventional electromagnetic flow meters that require separate transmitters and larger installation space, the Picomag integrates the sensor and transmitter into one compact housing.
It is commonly installed in:
- Cooling water systems
- CIP skid packages
- RO systems
- Utility loops
- Chemical dosing skids
- Water treatment equipment
- OEM machinery
For installations where cabinet space is limited, this integrated design simplifies both electrical wiring and mechanical installation.
Key Features
Measures Three Process Variables Simultaneously
Instead of installing three separate instruments, the Picomag measures:
| Measured Variable | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Volume Flow | Flow monitoring |
| Conductivity | Media identification |
| Temperature | Process monitoring |
This reduces the number of field devices while simplifying maintenance and commissioning.
Bluetooth Commissioning Reduces Setup Time
The transmitter supports Bluetooth communication through the SmartBlue application.
Engineers can:
- configure the device remotely
- verify settings
- read diagnostics
- perform commissioning
without opening the enclosure.
This is especially useful for skid-mounted equipment or installations with limited physical access.
Suitable for Small Pipe Sizes
Picomag is designed for utility applications where compact dimensions are important.
