B2B buyer comparison
Start with electromagnetic flow for conductive liquids and inline installation. Start with clamp-on ultrasonic when pipe cutting or process shutdown is not acceptable, then verify performance for the actual pipe and fluid.
These comparison points support initial selection. Confirm numeric values, configuration, document scope, and commercial terms in the current controlled datasheet and formal quotation.
| Decision point | AM-EMF100 Electromagnetic Flow Meter | AM-UF200 Ultrasonic Flow Meter | Buyer guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commercial basis | Project quotation required | Project quotation required | Confirm configuration, quantity, documentation, freight, and validity in writing. |
| MOQ / schedule | Confirmed after configuration review | Confirmed after configuration review | State first-order quantity, annual volume, destination, and target date in the RFQ. |
| Measurement principle | Full-bore electromagnetic | Clamp-on transit-time ultrasonic | Fluid conductivity and installation access are the first decision points. |
| Pipe size | Confirm AM-EMF100 configuration | Confirm AM-UF200 transducer set | Send pipe OD, wall thickness, material, liner, and nominal DN for confirmation. |
| Accuracy requirement | Confirm for fluid and installation | Confirm for pipe and installation | State the required error basis; verify performance in the current quoted datasheet. |
| Fluid requirement | Conductive liquids | Liquids that transmit sound, including oils and pure water | Do not specify an electromagnetic meter for non-conductive oil or ultrapure water. |
| Installation | Inline meter with liner and electrodes | External clamp-on sensors | Clamp-on ultrasonic avoids pipe cutting and process shutdown. |
| Hazardous-area documentation | Verify current certificate scope | Verify current certificate scope | Do not infer coverage from the category. Confirm holder, exact model, marking, issuer, and validity. |
Complementary guide
This page is the procurement shortlisting matrix. Use the companion guide for water-treatment pipe conditions, field checks, and installation considerations before the RFQ.
Request the documents needed for acceptance and verify their revision, scope, identifiers, and approval status for the exact model and configuration.
Usually no. Electromagnetic meters require a conductive liquid. For oil or another non-conductive fluid that transmits sound, a clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter is the better starting point.
A clamp-on ultrasonic meter is easier to retrofit because its sensors mount outside the pipe, without cutting the pipe or stopping the process.
Starting price, MOQ, sample availability, and schedule depend on configuration, testing, documentation, quantity, and destination. Compare them in the current project quotation.
Send your operating conditions and target quantity. We will confirm the model, configuration, price, and lead time in one quotation.
