Overview
The YFM4800E is an electromagnetic flowmeter using Faraday induction combined with industrial wireless IoT (LoRaWAN / NB‑IoT / 4G) to monitor conductive liquid flow. Its full‑bore, obstruction‑free construction eliminates pressure drop and removes moving parts, enabling reliable measurement in water and corrosive media. Battery operation and wireless transmission allow installation where mains power or cabling is impractical, delivering a low‑maintenance metering option for distributed monitoring and utility networks.

Key features

• Measurement principle: Faraday electromagnetic induction.
• Wireless IoT support: LoRaWAN, NB‑IoT, 4G for industrial‑grade transmission.
• Full‑bore, obstruction‑free design providing zero pressure loss.
• No moving parts or flow‑restricting components.
• Battery‑powered for long‑term deployments without mains supply.
• Adaptive electrode technology and digital signal filtering for resistance to bubbles and solids.
• IP68 submersible protection and durable lining/electrodes for extended service life.
• Integration-ready with API access for SCADA and smart water platforms; automated ISO 50001 reporting support.

Product advantages

• Zero pressure loss through full‑bore measurement reduces energy loss in pumping systems (manufacturer reported potential >15%).
• Wireless deployment reduces cabling costs and simplifies installation in hazardous or hard‑to‑access locations, including underground tunnels.
• Adaptive electrodes and digital filtering maintain accuracy in presence of bubbles/particles (typical accuracy up to ±0.5% RD under appropriate conditions).
• Long battery life (typical 8–10 years with four daily reports) and maintenance‑free lining/electrodes extend operational uptime.
• Designed for direct integration with water management/SCADA systems and automated energy‑efficiency reporting.

Core application areas

• Water management: municipal supply networks, wastewater discharge metering, irrigation monitoring.
• Chemical and pharmaceutical processes: strong acids/alkalis, slurries and corrosive media (optional PTFE/PFA lining).
• Food & beverage: sanitary fluid measurement with available compliance options (3A / EHEDG where applicable).
• Mining and metallurgy: slurry, mud and cooling circuit monitoring.
• Energy: cooling water metering for power plants, boiler feedwater and distributed energy stations.

Pain points addressed

• Removes need for extensive cabling in underground or high‑risk zones.
• Reduces cable damage risk in corrosive environments by avoiding wired installations.
• Enables safer, lower‑cost deployment in explosive or restricted areas using battery‑powered wireless meters.
