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

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.
