The FMG-550 Series magmeter flow
sensors are heavy-duty, high-
performance sensors in an
adjustable, insertion configuration
that can be used with a ball valve
for hot-tap installations. This
insertion-style flow sensor has
no moving parts and is constructed
of corrosion-resistant materials to
provide long-term reliability with
minimal maintenance costs. The
FMG-550 Series is versatile and
simple-to-install, delivering reliable
flow measurement over a wide
dynamic range. Pipe sizes range
from 2 to 48". Omega’s FMG-550
magmeters offer frequency or
current outputs. The blind transmitter
(4 to 20 mA output) is available for
FMG-553, shown
smaller than actual size.
long distance signal transmission.
The empty pipe detection features
a zero flow output when the
electrodes are not completely
wetted. The frequency output is
bi-directional while the 4 to 20 mA
output can be set for uni- or
bi-directional flow. The 4 to 20 mA
H-13
output is factory spanned. Other
configurations available, contact
Omega’s Flow department for details.
