Magnetic-inductive flow sensor PITe

volumefor process monitoringfor liquids

Product overview
The PITe magnetic-inductive insertion flow sensor provides a cost-effective solution for reliable measurement of volume flow of electrically conductive liquids, slurries and pastes in industrial installations. It features a compact insertion design for installation via a weld-on adapter and a threaded quick-release mechanism that allows sensor removal without full system shutdown.

Highlights

• Suitable for pipe diameters up to DN 400 / 16 inch
• Remote version with fixed cable connection
• Low space requirement
• Robust and maintenance-free construction

Measurement principle
The PITe operates according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction: a conductive fluid moving through the meter's magnetic field generates a voltage proportional to the flow velocity, which is measured by internal electrodes to determine flow rate.

Installation and equipment
The sensor is supplied with a weld-on adapter for straightforward integration into pipelines up to DN 400. The threaded quick-release permits installation or removal with minimal downtime. Materials and construction ensure long-term operation in industrial environments while reducing acquisition cost compared with full in-line meters.

Key features

• Economic efficiency: Cost-optimized insertion design for magnetic-inductive flow measurement
• Versatile installation: Weld-on adapter and threaded quick-release for easy mounting and removal
• High accuracy: Precise flow measurement despite the economical design
• No pressure loss: Insertion measurement avoids additional pressure drop in the pipeline
• Compact design: Suitable for DN 80 to DN 400

Applications

• Cooling circuit monitoring: Monitoring conductive liquids in cooling systems
