The submersible flow meter is designed for long-term submersion and is suitable for applications requiring complete immersion in liquid or installation in underwater environments. The IP68 Submersible Electromagnetic Flow Meter is the perfect choice when your installation location is prone to flooding or is completely underwater.
The special design of the submersible type lies in the fact that the sensor part (including excitation coil, electrodes, insulating lining, etc.) adopts a fully sealed structure, with a waterproof rating usually reaching IP68, allowing for long-term submersion in water.
Features
- The sensor is suitable for manholes in harsh environments.
- Leak-proof sealing technology, acid and water resistant surface.
- PTFE lining, suitable for chemical wastewater.
- Debris and fibers do not affect measurement.
- Bidirectional measurement, accurate and precise, stable and reliable quality.
- Stable zero point, no drift.
- Protection level: IP68 submersible.

Submersible Flow Meter Installation
To fully utilize the performance of submersible flow meters, correct installation is crucial. Since these devices are designed for harsh submerged environments, the installation process focuses on protecting data integrity while ensuring the sensor remains constantly submerged in water.
Straight Pipe Requirements
To guarantee the promised 0.5% accuracy, the fluid needs a stable flow rate before reaching the sensor. You cannot directly mount the flow meter next to a pump or at a sharp bend.
- Upstream: Allow a straight pipe section length of 5 to 10 times the pipe diameter (5D–10D).
- Downstream: Maintain a straight section of 2 to 5 times the diameter (2D–5D) after the meter.
Handling Flooded and Underground Locations
For pits and manholes that are constantly submerged or prone to flooding, a split-type electromagnetic flow meter design is essential. While the sensor can be fully submerged, the converter (display unit) needs to be easily accessible for maintenance.
- Sensor Installation Location: The SI-3110 sensor is installed directly in the underwater pipe.
- Cable Routing: Route the signal cable from the underwater sensor to a safe, dry location or control room.
- Remote Converter: Mount the remote electromagnetic flow meter display on a wall or panel so your team can easily read the data without entering hazardous areas.
