Colección:Bürkert 8045 advanced insertion electromagnetic flow meters

The Bürkert 8045 is an insertion electromagnetic flow meter with a built-in display, for conductive liquids. The probe is fitted into the pipe through a mounting fitting, and electrodes pick up the voltage the moving liquid creates. With no moving parts in the flow, it measures dirty and particle-laden liquids that would foul a paddle wheel, as long as the liquid conducts electricity. The display shows the flow rate at the pipe, and a 4 to 20 mA and pulse output report to a control system.

When to choose the 8045

Pick the 8045 over the 8041 for a reading at the meter, not only a signal to a panel. Relay versions add set-point switching, to drive an alarm or pump alongside the analog signal. Match the wetted parts to the liquid: the sensor body is stainless steel or PVDF, and the electrodes stainless steel or, for more aggressive liquids, Alloy C22.

Frequently asked questions

What does the display add over the 8041?

The 8045 shows the flow rate at the pipe, so the value can be read and the meter set up without a panel meter or laptop. The 8041 reports only through its output signals. Both measure the same way and suit the same conductive liquids.

Can the 8045 switch a pump or alarm?

Relay versions switch a contact when the flow crosses a set point, to start a pump or raise an alarm, while the 4 to 20 mA output still reports the live flow rate. Versions without relays give the analog and pulse outputs only.
