Sanitary flow meters are flow measurement instruments specifically designed for industries with high hygiene requirements, such as food and pharmaceuticals. They feature excellent cleanability and resistance to contamination. Sino-Inst supplies a range of sanitary flow meters, including electromagnetic, Coriolis, turbine, gear, and oval gear types.
Sanitary flow meters typically use a sanitary Tri-Clamp Connection fitting and a stainless steel housing. The intelligent local display shows real-time flow, cumulative flow, and other information. It supports 4-20mA, pulse, RS-485, and HART signals.

Sanitary Flow Meters Types
Based on different operating principles, sanitary flow meters come in various types. These include sanitary electromagnetic flow meters, sanitary turbine flow meters, sanitary mass flow meters, sanitary gear flow meters, and sanitary metal rotor flow meters.
Sanitary Magnetic Flow Meter
This sanitary magnetic flow meter, based on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, measures the flow rate of conductive media such as milk, juice, and pharmaceuticals. It is constructed from stainless steel (304 or 316L) and can be customized with PTFE or PFA linings. Both the electrodes and lining materials meet sanitary standards.
- Medium: conductive liquid, like such as milk, fruit juice, medicine.
- Accuracy: 0.5% or 0.2%
- Diameter: DN2~DN100
- Flow rate range: 0.3~10m/s
- Electrode: 316L stainless steel, tantalum electrode, etc.
- Liner material: PTFE, PFA, etc.
- Flange and housing material: 20# carbon steel, 304 stainless steel
- Power supply: 220VAC/24VDC
Sanitary Turbine Flow Meter
The sanitary turbine flow meter consists of a turbine sensor and a display. When used in conjunction with a flow totalizer, it provides highly accurate quantitative control of liquid feeding. The instrument’s housing is made of 316 (L) stainless steel, and the movement is constructed from special materials, offering excellent corrosion and rust resistance. Due to its simple structure, high measurement accuracy, and convenient installation and maintenance via quick-release clamps, it is widely used in the pharmaceutical, beverage, metering, dispensing, control, and finished product filling industries.
- High measurement accuracy, up to 0.2% and 0.5%;
- Wide applicability, with pipe sizes ranging from DN4 to DN100;
- Multiple signal outputs including pulse frequency and 4-20mA current, along with communication interfaces such as RS485 and HART;
- The product not only displays volumetric flow but also shows mass flow by setting the measured medium’s density;
- Medium temperature: -20°C ~ +180°C.
Sanitary Coriolis Mass Flow Meter
The sanitary mass flow meter directly measures the mass flow rate of the medium passing through it using the Coriolis effect. Based on this, it has been specifically designed and developed for the food and pharmaceutical industries, with improvements to its installation method, internal materials, surface roughness, etc., to meet the requirements of food hygiene applications. It can directly measure mass flow rate, volumetric flow rate, density, etc. It features chuck mounting, explosion-proof design, and easy cleaning.
- Exceptionally high measurement accuracy (0.2% to 0.1%).
- Excellent low-temperature performance.
- Directly measures the mass flow rate and density of fluids within pipelines.
- Capable of measuring various non-Newtonian fluids, slurries, suspensions, and high-viscosity fluids.
- Low installation requirements: minimal straight pipe runs required upstream and downstream of the meter.
- No moving parts inside the flowmeter housing, ensuring reliable and stable operation with low maintenance frequency.
Sanitary Gear Flow Meter
Sino-Inst’s GF gear flow meters and oval gear flow meters can also be made of 304/316 stainless steel, meeting food contact safety standards and suitable for measuring high-viscosity media (such as edible oils and slurries). Their working principle involves using gear meshing to drive liquid flow, and metering is achieved by counting the number of cycles in a fixed volume, with an accuracy of ±0.5%.
GF Gear flow meter is particularly suitable for measuring very small flow rates, down to 0.3 L/H.
- High measurement accuracy, with basic error typically at 0.5%R, and special models achieving 0.2%R or higher.
- No straight pipe runs required upstream or downstream during installation.
- Particularly suitable for measuring high-viscosity fluids such as heavy oil, polyvinyl alcohol, and resins.
- Wide flow range, generally from 10:1 to 50:1, with special models reaching 30:1 or greater.
- Relatively simple structure, easy to maintain and install.
Sanitary Metal Rotameter
The Sanitary Metal Rotameter is a commonly used type of variable area flow meter. The sensor material is typically 304 stainless steel (316 or 316L optional), and it usually uses clamp or compression fittings for connection (or can be customized according to site requirements).
The sanitary metal tube float flow meter consists of a measuring tube (sensor) and an indicator (electronic converter). By selecting different types of measuring tubes and indicators, various configurations can be assembled to suit different site needs.
- Suitable for measuring small-diameter and low-velocity media flow;
- Applicable to various media including gases, liquids, and steam;
- Can be configured with a mechanical pointer display;
- Intelligent display with dual LCD screens showing instantaneous/cumulative flow on-site;
- All-metal construction suitable for high-temperature, high-pressure, and highly corrosive media;
- Suitable for flammable and explosive hazardous environments;
- Compatible with dual power supply modes: 24VDC power supply and battery power supply.
Flow Measurement Technical Support
Water Flow Meter Types
Water Flow Meters are flow meters measure and show the flow rate of water flow. Water flow measurement is important for inductrial applications, like the wastewater treatment. In principle, water flow meter types are: Electromagnetic (magnetic), Turbine, Ultrasonic, and DP.
Wastewater flow meter
Wastewater Flow meters are flowmeters for water and wastewater treatment. Electromagnetic flow meters are suitable for open channel and underground industrial water pipes. Magnetic flow meters can be Remote type, compact type, insertion type. And ultrasonic flow meters are another choice, if you can not change your pipes.
Turbine type flow meter
Turbine type flow meter is one type of mechanical flow meters. Turbine flow meter use the mechanical energy of the liquid to rotate a rotor in the flow stream. Turbine flow meters measure the velocity of a variety of liquids (oil, water), gases (natural gas) and vapors. All types turbine flow meters, like: flange, sanitary, insertion, threaded connections etc .
