OPTIFLUX 1050

The OPTIFLUX 1050 is a cost-effective electromagnetic flowmeter (EMF) with lightweight wafer-style design. The meter is a very economical solution for simple applications with conductive liquids (≥ 5 μS/cm) involving low solid content (up to 10%). This particularly includes applications in water, wastewater, mobile applications, agriculture or firefighting where extremely high accuracy, extensive diagnostics or a wide range of communication options are not a priority. The extra isolation of the electronic device and housing makes this EMF also suitable for use in areas with extreme humidity.

The OPTIFLUX 1050 features a reinforced PFA liner and Hastelloy® electrodes that guarantee excellent chemical resistance and a large temperature range (up to +120°C / +248°F). The EMF has no internal moving parts, does not require maintenance and is insensitive to vibrations. It comes with current output (incl. HART®) or active pulse/frequency output and Modbus. A full on-site verification of the EMF without process interruption can be carried out using the OPTICHECK service tool.
