Specification
The compact electromagnetic flowmeter (also magmeter, mentioned as magmeter in the following content) integrates the traditional magmeter’s transmitter and sensor into a single unit. With its compact design and flexible installation, it features an infrared remote control for easy commissioning and mounting. Widely used across various industries, it measures the volumetric flow rate of conductive liquids with a conductivity greater than 2μS/cm. This inductive instrument is specifically designed for measuring the volumetric flow of conductive media.

1. What is the MIK-FMX240 compact electromagnetic flow meter?
The MIK-FMX240 is a compact electromagnetic flow meter (magmeter) that integrates the transmitter and sensor into a single unit. It measures the volumetric flow of conductive liquids in small pipes from DN6 to DN65.
2. What does "compact" mean for this flow meter?
In a traditional magmeter, the transmitter and sensor are separate components or a large combined housing. The MIK-FMX240 integrates both into one small unit, which saves space and makes installation more flexible, especially on small pipelines and inside equipment.
3. How is the MIK-FMX240 commissioned?
The MIK-FMX240 supports an infrared remote control, so parameters can be set without opening the housing. This makes commissioning quick and convenient, even after the meter has been mounted.
4. What liquids can the MIK-FMX240 measure?
It measures conductive liquids with a conductivity of at least 2 μS/cm, such as water, cooling water, process water and many aqueous solutions. It cannot measure gases, steam or non-conductive liquids such as oils.
5. What pipe sizes are available?
The MIK-FMX240 is available from DN6 to DN65, making it suitable for small and medium pipelines.
6. How accurate is the MIK-FMX240?
- Accuracy: ±0.5%
- Repeatability: ≤0.1%
7. What process pressure can it handle?
The process pressure range is -0.1 MPa to 6.3 MPa, so it can also be used in lines under slight vacuum.
8. What medium temperatures can it handle?
The medium temperature range is 0 °C to +80 °C.
9. What power supply does the MIK-FMX240 require?
It requires a DC power supply of 18–36 VDC. AC mains power is not listed for this model, so a DC power source such as a 24 VDC supply is needed.
10. What communication output does it provide?
The standard communication output is RS485 with Modbus-RTU protocol, allowing direct connection to PLC, DCS and other control systems. If you need other output signals, please tell us your requirements for confirmation.
11. What is the electrical connection?
The MIK-FMX240 uses an M12 4-pin connector for power and communication, which allows quick and reliable wiring.
12. What is the ingress protection rating?
The ingress protection rating is IP67, protecting the unit against dust and temporary immersion in water.
13. What does the MIK-FMX240 measure: volume or mass flow?
It directly measures flow velocity and calculates volume flow. For direct mass flow and density measurement, see our Coriolis mass flowmeters.
14. What process connections and wetted materials are available?
Please tell us your pipe size, connection type and liquid when requesting a quotation. Our engineers will confirm the suitable process connection and wetted materials for your application.
15. Where is the MIK-FMX240 typically used?
It is used across many industries where conductive liquids flow in small pipelines, for example cooling water circuits, water treatment equipment, dosing systems, and machinery or skid-mounted systems where installation space is limited.
16. MIK-FMX240, micro vortex or micro turbine: which should I choose?
- MIK-FMX240 electromagnetic: conductive liquids (≥2 μS/cm) in DN6–DN65 pipes; accuracy ±0.5%; no moving parts and no obstruction in the flow path. Not suitable for non-conductive liquids such as lubricants.
- MIK-FVM200 micro vortex: water and water-based liquids such as ethylene glycol in DN8–DN15 pipes; measures both flow and temperature; flow accuracy ±3%.
- MIK-FLM200 micro turbine: water and water-based liquids such as glycol, as well as lubricants, in DN10–DN25 pipes; measures both flow and temperature; flow accuracy ±1.5%. As a turbine meter, it has a rotating impeller.
Send us your medium and operating conditions for a recommendation.
17. What should I consider during installation?
- The measuring tube must always be completely full of liquid.
- Avoid air bubbles; vertical pipes with upward flow are preferred.
- Provide sufficient straight pipe upstream and downstream of the meter.
- Ensure proper grounding for a stable signal.
- Keep the meter away from strong magnetic fields and large motors.
Please follow the installation manual or contact our engineers for site-specific requirements.
18. Does the MIK-FMX240 need much maintenance?
No. It has a full-bore design with no moving parts or throttling components, so maintenance needs and pressure loss are minimal. It also supports bidirectional flow measurement.
19. What information should I provide to get a quotation?
