Paquin is spotlighting our P86 Electromagnetic Flow Meter (Or Magnetic Flow Meter) ideal for industrial applications ranging from water/wastewater flow measurement to pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Accurate, no-pressure-loss flow measurement for conductive liquids with flexible I/O, materials, and connections built for tough industrial environments. View the P86 datasheet (PDF)
Built for: water/wastewater, chemical processing, power, machine manufacturing—and deployments that include cooling systems and process utilities in pharma/food (when conductivity and material compatibility are met).
Delivers: 0.5% accuracy, ±0.15% repeatability, bi-directional measurement, and no pressure loss.
Integrates via: 4–20 mA, HART, RS-485/Modbus, 0–5 kHz pulse, and two relays; integrated or remote transmitters.
The Problem The P86 Solves
Conventional flow technologies can add pressure drop, struggle with slurries, or demand frequent recalibration. The P86 uses electromagnetic induction to measure conductive liquids without obstructions in the flow path, eliminating pressure loss while maintaining accuracy across a broad velocity range. Empty/full pipe detection and self-diagnostics help keep signals trustworthy during upset conditions.
