Electromagnetic Flow Meters for Conductive Liquids
Seacom supplies electromagnetic flow meters from Badger Meter, ONICON and SPI for measuring electrically conductive liquids. Applications include water distribution, chilled-water systems, data centre cooling and compatible industrial process liquids.
Electromagnetic flow meters measure flow without moving parts. Selection depends on the liquid’s conductivity, operating flow range, pipework, wetted materials and required outputs. They are not suitable for gases or non-conductive liquids such as most oils and fuels.

Selecting a Magnetic Flow Meter
- Liquid: identify its conductivity, chemical composition, additives and solids content.
- Flow range: provide minimum, normal and maximum flow; pipe size alone is not enough to select a meter.
- Operating conditions: confirm liquid temperature, pressure and material compatibility.
- Installation: check that the pipe remains full, together with grounding, straight-pipe and access requirements.
- Outputs: specify analogue, pulse or network connections for the PLC, BMS or monitoring system.
Flow Measurement for Data Centre Cooling
Cooling-water flow measurements help operators monitor distribution through headers, branches and equipment circuits. For water-glycol mixtures, confirm conductivity and compatibility with the selected meter. Cooling-energy measurement also requires suitable temperature measurements and a calculation system.
