FAQ Flowmeister 2.0

Yes it does! Sensors, electronics and software are standardized over all Flowmax® types we produce. The body hardware of Flowmax® 242M disposable measuring tube is equal to Flowmax® 42i. Proof of the above is in the calibration certificates which are stored in MIB’s archives. TIP: We’re happy to connect you to our customers and let them share their thoughts with you.

We only ship calibrated measuring tubes.
Your choice is in the number of calibration points, by default we offer 3-point and 8-point calibration.
Calibration is performed with water and documented in our archives.
A paper calibration certificate is delivered with the instrument.
Most importantly, the calibration data is stored inside the measuring tube. The data is read-only, safe and will withstand gamma-irradiation.

Yes we can!
Because the speed of sound through a medium is unique for each medium, Flowmax® can bring extra intelligence.
An optional output will provide a frequency which equals the actual speed of sound in [m/sec].
This gives you feedback of the type of liquid inside your measuring tube.
Use the extra verification for logging, validation or whatever purpose that is of value for your customer.

Flowmax® collects the true flowrate using the speed of sound.
Effectively, the electronics register an impressive 250 measurements per second.

The instrumentsettings allow you to apply a damping factor so that your process receives a signal which is just as smooth as you prefer.
The combination of fast data-collection and controlled signal-conditioning make Flowmax® a strong candidate in pulsating and fluctuating flow-profiles.

Flowmax® is well equipped when it comes to available outputsignals.
Flowrate is communicated in digital pulses and an analogue 4-20 mA signal.
Both signals are configurable to suit your process-controls.

In addition to flowrate, Flowmax® offers a digital alarmsignal, adressable to detect empty-pipe, reverse-flow or a defined flow-limit.

Optionally, the following features are available:

• digital input
• Temperature output
• Speedmax® output signal for liquid identification
• extra alarmoutput
• Analogue 0-10V signal range
• RS 485 serial communication port

Good question!
Genuinly, the high end engineering plastics that are used have a high chemical resistance.
However, the matter is too complex to answer without knowledge of your exact liquid(s).
We’d appreciate to prove your application in our database of existing applications.

It would be great if you could submit your details in the below form.
Thanks in advance!

The life-time of all Flowmax® instruments is equal and exceeds twelve years of permanent use.
Whether disposable or not, the technology, components and performance are the same.

Some Digmesa turbine-meters are fully non-metal.
Although some have a metal shaft or wetted magnets, the body-material is always plastic.
Since 2025, Digmesa acquired the German manufacturer B.I.O Tech flowmeters.
Flowmeister is happy with this expansion, it brings metal-body flowmeters.
These solutions bring a welcome increase in the range of pressure and temperature.

In the modularity of building-blocks to compose a flowmeter, Digmesa has the option to have the ‘combi’ top-part.
Two metal points are in contact with the liquid.
One contact connects to a temperature-sensor.
Both connect to a conductivity-sensor.
Temperature and conductivity can thus be monitored continuously.

Is your flowmeter mounted in a dry environment and is the cable never touched?
Then Pancon-mass is the cheapest solution to connect.
In a potentially wet area, or when the cabling can be mechanically loaded, the AMP-connector with seal and screw is available.
A third version is a confectioned cable, tailor-made to your needs.

Sure! Many cooling-circuits are monitored in an effecient and reliable way.
We advise to use the ceramic bearing for a long-life and flawless operation.
The ceramic bearing is also advised in high-flow operation, where the turbine reaches relatively high rpm.

A turbine-meter typically creates pulses by the magnet which passes a Hall-sensor or REED-switch.
We have options for analogue output.
And of course an integrated LCD display, or FC PRO external display is possible.
The FC PRO display holds a flow-switch function as well.

Different materials for different applications are possible.
For aggressive media, we propose a PVDF-body, encapsulated magnets and ceramic or PVDF shaft.

Digmesa has two core-modules which are available to integrate in your product design.
For low viscosity, we have the NANO Flex cartridge.
For viscous liquids, or oval-gear EPI mini will do the job.
Digmesa will guide you and provide full details on the geometry to make the cartridges fit in.
