Overview
The SITRANS FMS500 is an electromagnetic flow sensor designed for volumetric flow measurement of conductive liquids. It is ideal for water-related applications such as extraction, treatment, and irrigation. The sensor supports buried installation, operates reliably under continuous submersion, and offers strong chemical resistance. It provides accurate measurement even at low flow rates, with fluid velocity up to 10 m/s. The FMS500 is designed to work with an external-powered transmitter as part of a complete flow measurement system.
