Reliable Electromagnetic Flow Measurement for Industrial Applications
The Siemens SITRANS FM MAG 6000 I (7ME693) is an advanced electromagnetic flow transmitter designed for continuous measurement of conductive liquids.
Based on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, the transmitter converts fluid velocity into an electrical signal proportional to flow rate, providing accurate and stable measurement without pressure loss or moving parts inside the pipe.
The system is widely used in:
Water and wastewater treatment
Chemical processing
Food and beverage production
Pharmaceutical industries
Mining and mineral processing
Pulp and paper
Power generation and cooling water systems
Compatible with Multiple SITRANS FM Sensors
The SITRANS FM MAG 6000 I transmitter is designed as part of Siemens’ modular electromagnetic flow measurement platform.
It can be combined with different sensor types, including:
SITRANS MAG 1100 – High-performance sensor for industrial applications
