MIM – Durable Stainless Steel Flow Meters for Challenging Environments

The Magnetic Inductive Flow Meter (MIM) by Heinrichs is designed to provide highly accurate measurements of small to medium conductive liquid flows. Utilizing electromagnetic technology, the MIM is unaffected by fluid density, viscosity, or temperature variations, ensuring precise readings in a variety of industrial applications. A dependable solution for industries needing accurate and consistent flow monitoring, the MIM is housed in a robust stainless-steel housing and designed to withstand challenging conditions.

Measuring Process

The MIM operates using the principle of electromagnetic induction, a process where a voltage is generated as a conductive fluid pass through a magnetic field. This voltage is directly proportional to the flow rate, allowing the MIM to deliver precise flow measurements. The stainless-steel construction provides protection against external magnetic interference, maintaining the integrity of measurements even under challenging conditions. This technology ensures that the flow meter can perform with a high level of accuracy, regardless of fluctuations in fluid properties.
