Which flow meter is best for precise measurement in small diameter pipes DN50 and below - ultrasonic water meters or electromagnetic?

Small diameter precise metering favors LGF electromagnetic with ±0.5% accuracy

Small diameter precise measurement demands exceptional accuracy and stability from flow meters. For DN50 and smaller pipe applications, Ecolor Technology provides specialized small bore flow measurement solutions.

  • LGF small bore electromagnetic flow meters: DN10-DN50, ±0.5% accuracy, no pressure loss, ideal for conductive media precision metering
  • Ultrasonic water meters: DN15-DN50, up to ±2% accuracy, suitable for clean water with metrological certification
  • In-line ultrasonic flow meters: DN25-DN100, ±1% accuracy, ideal for clean media with standardized installation
  • Selection criteria: Electromagnetic preferred for conductive media, ultrasonic water meters for clean water metering

For custody transfer applications, LGF series small diameter electromagnetic flow meters are recommended, offering ±0.5% high accuracy and long-term stability ensuring metering reliability. Integration with EC32 RTU enables data transmission and intelligent management capabilities.
