• Award winning hot-tap magnetic fl ow sensor up to
DN2550 (102 in.)
• Patented Magmeter technology*
• Operating range 0.05 to 10 m/s (0.15 to 33 ft/s)
• Reliable operation in harsh environments
• Repeatable: ±0.5% of reading @ 25 °C
• Three output options: 4 to 20 mA, Frequency/
Digital (S3L)
The Signet 2552 Metal Magmeter from Georg Fischer
features all-stainless steel construction. The PVDF
nosepiece and FPM O-rings are the only other wetted
materials. The 2552 installs quickly into standard
1¼ in. or 1½ in. pipe outlets, and is adjustable to fi t pipes
from DN50 to DN2550 (2 to 102 inches). Two sensor
lengths allow maximum fl exibility to accommodate a
variety of hardware confi gurations, including ball valves
for hot-tap installations.
When equipped with the frequency output, the 2552 is
compatible with any externally powered Signet fl ow
instrument, while the digital (S3L) output enables
multi-channel compatibility with Signet 8900 or 9900
Multi-Parameter instruments. Select the blind 4 to 20
mA current output to interface directly with data loggers,
PLCs or telemetry systems. Key features include Empty
Pipe Detection, LED-assisted troubleshooting, and
bi-directional span capability (in 4 to 20 mA models).
The Signet 3-0252 Confi guration Tool is available to
customize every performance feature in the 2552 so it
can be adapted to the user’s application requirements.

Sensor Selection Guide
The 2552 Magmeter can be installed into a variety of pipe sizes. Follow the steps below to ensure that you choose
the right sensor for your application.
Step 1: Determine how the sensor will be installed
A. For standard (non Hot-Tap) installations:
The height of the weldolet (threadolet) and pipe adapter(s) should be determined before the sensor is purchased.
• For retrofi t installations, the stack height, or “A”
dimension (see Fig. 1), is the overall height from
the top of the pipe to the highest point of the stack.
• Sensor tip must be positioned at 10% of pipe ID
• For new installations, Signet recommends a
weldolet (threadolet) and an adapter to
accommodate the 1¼ in. (or 1½ in. for 2552-3)
sensor process threads. The stack height, or “A”
dimension (see Fig. 1), is the overall height from
the top of the pipe to the highest point of the stack
before the sensor is connected
B. For Hot-Tap installations:
The stack height of the ball valve, nipple weldolet (threadolet) and pipe adapters should be determined before the
sensor is purchased.
• For retrofi t installations, the ball valve must be at
least a 1¼ in. (or 1½ in. for 2552-3) valve. The
stack height, or “A” dimension (see Fig. 2), is the
overall height from the top of the pipe to the top of
the ball valve.
• Sensor tip base must be positioned at 10% of
• For new installations, Signet recommends a 1¼ in.
or 1½ in. full port ball valve, a short nipple and a
weldolet (threadolet). The stack height or “A”
dimension (see Fig. 2) is the overall height from the
top of the pipe to the top of the ball valve before the
sensor is connected.

Step 2: Determine how the sensor will be installed
Once the “A” dimension is determined, go to the sensor selection table and fi nd your “A” dimension on the left column.
Next, fi nd the appropriate pipe size at the top of the chart. To determine the correct sensor size locate where the pipe
size column meets the max “A” dimension row.
