F-3500 Insertion Electromagnetic Flow Meter

ONICON’s F-3500 Series Insertion Electromagnetic Flow Meters are suitable for measuring electrically conductive liquids in a wide variety of applications. Each F-3500 provides a single analog output for flow rate, a high resolution frequency output to drive peripheral devices, a scalable pulse output for totalization, and an empty pipe alarm. It is available for use in pipes ranging in size from 1¼” to 72″ in diameter. The F-3500 Insertion Electromagnetic Flow Meter features ONICON’s unique hot tap design that allows for easy insertion or removal from the pipe without the use of special tools and without disrupting flow. The low maintenance design is provided ready-to-use without the need for field programming.   The FB-3500 Electromagnetic Flow Meter is available for bi-directional flow applications. It provides an analog output for flow rate, a contact closure output to indicate flow direction and separate pulse outputs to totalize forward and reverse flow.

When provided with the thermal energy (BTU) meter option, the FT-3500 becomes a complete hydronic energy measurement system.
