LCMag™ Meter - Overview

The LCMag family of electromagnetic flow meters offers the best solution for measuring the flow of electrically conductive liquids (5µS/cm minimum). A production sensor consists of a stainless steel pipe section internally lined with insulating material. PTFE, Polypropylene and Ebonite (hard rubber) liners are available. The two electrodes are positioned opposite each other on the internal surface of the pipe. The coils which generate the magnetic field are placed outside the pipe. The complete sensor has an external NEMA 6-6P (IP67/68) protection rating which guarantees the integrity of the magnetic circuit and protects the instrument against the external environment. The choice of materials in contact with the fluid (lining, electrodes, etc.) depends on the temperature, the chemical aggressiveness of the liquid and the degree of abrasion of the liquid.

LCMag is the best electromagnetic flow meter because it provides:

• No moving parts
• Wide range of nominal diameters from 1/8" to 80"
• Wide range of flow rates from 0.05 GPM to 400,000 GPM
• Automatic, dual flow range capability
• Wide range of liner and electrode materials
• Near zero pressure drop
• Easy installation and operation
• Minimal maintenance
• High full scale accuracy, capable of ±0.2% with HML200 Converter (for liquid velocity greater than 3.28ft./second)
• Accuracy is not affected by fluid characteristics such as viscosity, density, temperature, or suspended solids

MARKETS:
Specific markets for the LCMag meter include:

• Food and Beverage
• Pulp and Paper
• Water and Waste Water
• Chemical
• Agricultural
• And more

APPLICATIONS:
The LCMag family consists of five types of electromagnetic flow meters for specific applications. The five models include microflow, wafer, sanitary, flanged, and insertion meters. The units are offered in a wide variety of sizes and flow ranges for many industrial as well as OEM applications.

Typical application examples include:

• Rate of flow indication
• Rate of flow control
• Totalization-batching
• Low flow rate, additive injection
• Short run high flow filling applications
• Sanitary Clean-In-Place (CIP) applications
• High flow-large pipe diameter water and waste water applications
• Insertion mag meters for installation in pipes with or without pressure
