The innovative Multi-Mag L series flowmeter for large line size flow measurement in municipal water and industrial processes delivers expanded range with wider turn-down in rugged NEMA 6/IP67 package
It employs a unique UltraLiner technology to give users an exceptionally accurate, reliable and durable instrument.
Process and plant engineers who have in the past had to trade-off accuracy in harsh environments against low maintenance and long-life, will find the Ultra Mag to be the ideal solution - especially in slurries and sludge.
The Ultra Mag measures flow with a non-intrusive sensing element, which means debris and solids will not clog the line or cause excessive wear.

Municipal water treatment engineers find the self-conditioning V-Cone Flowmeter from McCrometer reduces the straight pipe requirement by up to 70-percent versus other meters
Combined with the superior abrasion and corrosion resistance of McCrometer fusion-bonded epoxy UltraLiner, this magmeter is a superior choice for installation in hard-to-reach areas and applications requiring minimal maintenance in tough environments.
The precision Ultra Mag is accurate to 0.5% of flow rate, with a repeatability of 0.05%, over a wide flow range from 0.2 to 49 FPS.
It is designed for line sizes from 2 to 48 inches, and it is compatible with temperatures from 14 to 170F (-10 to +77C) at pressures up to 300 psi.
Its non-intrusive flow sensing element also eliminates head loss.
To sense flow, the Ultra Mag relies on two compact, high-density magnetic coils placed within the pipe outer wall to generate an electromagnetic field inside the pipe.
As conductive liquid flows through the pipe, a voltage is created, which is measured by electrodes inserted through the flowmeter liner into the flow stream.
The voltage is then converted to a flow rate reading by the Ultra Mag signal converter, which includes a digital read-out.
The highest possible flow measurement accuracy is provided by the highly intelligent Ultra Mag micro-processor-based signal converter.
Advanced electronic components within the signal converter produce an exceptionally high signal-to-noise ratio for high measurement accuracy even in slurries or sludge under variable flow conditions.
Magmeters provide worry-free flow measurement in situations where reliability and low maintenance are critical.
Unlike mechanical flowmeters, there are no moving parts to clog or break - making them low maintenance devices.
Electromagnetic measurement gives magmeters a wide rangeability - up to 245:1, and allows for bi-directional flow readings.
As the voltage generated is related only to the speed of the fluid, measurement is unaffected by changes in fluid density and viscosity - making for a very stable and reliable flowmeter.
Ultra Mag is applicable to Liquids, Slurries and Sludge Potable Water, Water Well Production, Pump Stations, Reclamation, Truck Loading/Unloading, Industrial/Municipal Wastewater, Sanitation Hemet.
