Product Information

Full details

The Burkert 426506 is an advanced insertion electromagnetic flow meter engineered for facility managers and process engineers who require precise, low-maintenance monitoring of conductive liquids like water, acids, and bases. Its standout benefit is the lack of moving parts, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh dosing applications and abrasive media; however, it is important to note that this device is strictly for conductive fluids and will not function with non-conductive liquids such as oils or deionized water.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this meter with oil or deionized water?

No, this electromagnetic meter requires the liquid to be conductive. It is not suitable for non-conductive fluids like oil or deionized water.

What is the minimum conductivity required?

The application must have a liquid conductivity greater than 20 µS/cm.

Does it require a separate readout screen?

No, it features an integrated backlit display that shows flow rate and volume directly on the transmitter.

What pipe sizes can this device handle?

It is designed to accommodate a wide variety of pipe sizes ranging from DN 6 up to 400 mm.

How do I calibrate the meter for my specific fluid?

The device includes a 'teach-in' function which allows for automatic calibration tailored to your specific application conditions.

Is the unit suitable for high-temperature clean-in-place (CIP) cycles?

Yes, it is rated for operating temperatures up to 80 °C, which covers most standard industrial hot liquid and cleaning processes.

Troubleshooting

No display or readout on the screen

Verify the power supply is outputting between 18-36 V DC and check all terminal connections for security.

Inaccurate flow readings

Ensure the pipe is completely full of liquid and the fluid conductivity is above 20 µS/cm; consider re-running the teach-in calibration process.

Output signal (4-20 mA) is not responding

Use the device's simulation mode to verify the output signals independently of the flow to rule out wiring faults.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • No moving parts ensures high longevity
  • Works reliably with abrasive or chemical-heavy fluids
  • Wide pipe size compatibility (DN 6 to 400 mm)
  • Easy-to-use menu-driven interface with multi-language support
  • Built-in simulation mode simplifies initial testing

Cons

  • Requires a minimum conductivity of >20 µS/cm
  • Not compatible with hydrocarbons, oils, or deionized water
  • DC voltage requirement (18-36 V) may require power conversion for some setups

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is facilitated through a single-port insertion design, which requires careful alignment to ensure the electrodes are fully submerged in the flow path. Ensure the application fluid meets the >20 µS/cm conductivity requirement before installation. The unit operates on a DC power supply of 18-36 V. The device features a protective cover for the display and function keys, which should be kept closed during standard operation to prevent damage to the interface. For maintenance, periodically verify that the insertion depth is correct and that the electrodes remain free of significant buildup, especially in processes involving heavy mineral content.
