1. Product description
The FMT 50 is a flow meter for flowing liquids based on the measuring principle of a turbine wheel
meter. It can be used as a fixed meter or as a manual flow meter. The optional pulse generator
allows it to be used in a fluid management system.
The FMT 50 must not be operated with flammable and explosive liquids from hazard
material classes AI, AII and B. Liquids of hazardous material class A III must not be
used, if they are heated above their flash point.
The FMT 50 turbine wheel meter consists of a measurement chamber with a turbine wheel and a
cover containing the evaluation electronic system as well as display and keyboard. The turbine
wheel has a magnet pair which in the case of volume flow transfers the meter pulses to a reed
switch on the evaluation electronic system.
