DN600 Electromagnetic Flowmeter: Precision, Installation, and Environmental Considerations
The DN600 electromagnetic flowmeter is a leading choice for large-scale water infrastructure projects due to its unmatched durability and measurement accuracy. While its large diameter may not suit all applications, it is indispensable for city-wide water supply systems. This guide provides expert insights into installation best practices, technical specifications, and environmental considerations.

1. Key Features of the DN600 Flowmeter
- Accurate measurements (±0.5-1%) in high-flow environments
- Flange-mounted and insertion-type installation options
- Adapted for 24/7 municipal water supply systems
2. Installation Methods
2.1 Flange-Mounted Installation
The flange-mounted system uses three electrodes to detect electromagnetic signals, ensuring precise velocity measurements. This method is ideal for applications requiring:
- High accuracy in stable flow conditions
- Direct integration with existing flange systems
2.2 Insertion-Type Installation
The insertion method allows installation without interrupting pipeline operations. Key features include:
- Integrated ball valve for pressure maintenance
- Minimal downtime during maintenance
3. Technical Installation Requirements
3.1 Sensor & Transmitter Placement
- Mount sensors at the lowest pipeline point or vertical sections
- Ensure full pipe flow to eliminate air pockets
3.2 Straight Pipe Requirements
- Minimum 5D upstream and 3D downstream straight pipe
- Avoid installing after control valves or partially closed valves
4. Environmental Considerations
4.1 Temperature & Radiation
- Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations
- Provide insulation if installed near heat sources
4.2 Magnetic Fields & Vibration
- Keep away from strong magnetic fields
- Add support structures for vibration-prone pipelines

5. Proven Performance in Major Projects
The DN600 flowmeter has been successfully deployed in:
- Hangzhou Qige Wastewater Plant (China's largest municipal treatment facility)
- Guizhou Water Group's regional supply network
- Shanghai Urban Investment Group's infrastructure projects
The DN600 electromagnetic flowmeter combines precision engineering with operational flexibility. By following these installation guidelines and environmental precautions, you can ensure:
- Accurate flow measurements in large-scale systems
- Minimal downtime through smart maintenance design
- Long-term reliability in demanding environments
