The Cadillac® magnetic flow meter is a rate and totalizing device, which is capable of measuring liquids of all types and consistency while providing an obstruction free flow path. Due to it’s unique flow tube/coil design, it is particularly suitable for new or retrofit into pumped hot condensate as well as hot and chilled water systems. Employing a unique coil winding pattern and containment/focusing plates the Cadillac magnetic flow meter does not require any flow profiling or piping straight run while still meeting the stataed meter accuracy (+/-0.50% of rate). In any heating/cooling system the Cadillac® magnetic flow meter is the number one technology choice due to Cadillac®’s accuracy, linearity, reliability and  rangeability.

Like many other flow meters, the Cadillac® magnetic flow meter is a velocity measuring device which computes flow by multiplying the effective cross sectional area of the flow meter with the detected fluid velocity. The meter has no moving parts and consists of a meter body with encapsulated coils, electrodes and an amplifier assembly. It detects velocity by measuring an induced voltage that is developed by moving the conductive fluid through a magnetic field.

The New Industry Standard

Historically, liquid flows have been measured by mechanical flow meters. However, as with any mechanical system, the meters are subject to wear and tear and require regular maintenance and calibration. Even though magnetic flow meters have been on the market for years, their high cost of manufacture have limited their use. Current manufacturing technology has made the Cadillac® magnetic flow meter a cost effective solution, especially in applications requiring analog (rate) or pulse (totalized) outputs.
