The Baumer electromagnetic immersion flow meter, known as the PFM43, offers an economical solution for measuring water flow in pipes with diameters ranging from DN80 to DN2000. Designed to withstand high pressures up to 100 bar, this sensor is ideal for use in pumping stations where elevated water pressure often occurs due to height differences.

Compared to traditional magnetic-inductive flow meters with continuous measuring tubes—especially those used in large pipes—the Baumer PFM43 provides significant advantages. These older models are typically heavy and expensive, requiring complex installation processes that consume considerable time and resources. In contrast, the PFM43 features a simple and quick installation process, even when integrated into existing systems.

This ease of use translates directly to substantial savings in both installation time and costs. Furthermore, its lightweight design (maximum 5 kg) reduces storage expenses while making maintenance less burdensome. For added convenience during commissioning, users can easily configure the PFM43 via USB connection or using the Baumer Control Panel (BCP).

Thanks to high measuring accuracy (<2% deviation), this sensor ensures efficient system operation and provides valuable insights into flow conditions. Not only does it deliver similar performance metrics as conventional large-scale magnetic-inductive meters but also offers a more economical solution with simpler integration requirements.

The Baumer PFM43 represents an innovative addition to the company’s portfolio for industrial water applications, combining reliability, cost-effectiveness, and user-friendly features—all essential elements for maximizing customer benefit in demanding environments.
