Integral vs Remote Electromagnetic Flowmeter: What's the Difference and How to Choose?

Comprehensive guide comparing integral vs remote electromagnetic flowmeter configurations for optimal selection.

Integral electromagnetic flowmeters and remote electromagnetic flowmeters represent two primary configurations in the LGF series, both achieving ±0.5% accuracy across DN10-DN2000 diameter range. Integral flowmeters combine sensor and converter in one housing for simplified installation and lower cost. Remote flowmeters separate the sensor from converter, ideal for harsh environments.

  • Structural Design: Integral offers compact integration, remote allows up to 100m separation between sensor and converter
  • Installation Environment: Integral suits standard conditions, remote excels in high-temperature, humid, or vibrating locations
  • Maintenance Access: Remote configuration enables converter placement in accessible locations for easier servicing
  • Cost Analysis: Integral provides lower initial investment, remote offers better value in challenging environments

Selection criteria include installation environment, maintenance requirements, pipeline accessibility, and budget considerations.
