MID flow meters that are 100% compatible with your application
DDM Sensors develops customized magnetic inductive flow meters that are precisely tailored to your requirements. In close cooperation with you, we the define order to develop a sensor that is optimally adapted to the respective application.
DDM Sensors accompanies you from the initial idea to the finished flow meter. We attach great importance to a dynamic process that makes it possible to make adjustments even during development.
The development phases include:
Phase 1 – Product Concept & Design
In the design phase, DDM Sensors leverages decades of expertise in flow meter manufacturing to develop innovative, high-quality products. This phase establishes the product concept and design, serving as the foundation for all subsequent development stages.
Phase 2 – Electronics & Mechanical Engineering
Our team of engineers and designers transforms specifications into reality using state-of-the-art CAD software. The seamless integration of mechanical and electronic development enables us to provide complete, turn-key solutions from a single source.
Phase 3 – Prototyping & Testing
3D-printed prototypes are rigorously tested in in-house temperature chambers and test benches. Weld seam stability is verified through metallographic examination, ensuring long-term durability in demanding environments. To meet EU-wide CE certification requirements, each flow meter undergoes EMC testing.
Phase 4 – Production & Quality Assurance
Production takes place in an ESD-protected environment under ISO 9001-certified quality management. Each unit undergoes in-circuit testing (ICT) and functional assembly verification to ensure flawless performance. Optional helium leak testing is available for applications requiring the highest level of reliability.
How MID Flow Meters work
MID flow meters use the principle of electromagnetic induction for flow measurement:
- Magnetic Field Generation: Two coils generate a magnetic field perpendicular to the liquid flow.
- Induced Voltage: As conductive liquid flows through the field, a voltage is induced, proportional to flow velocity.
- Measurement & Signal Processing: Electrodes capture the voltage and convert it into a precise flow measurement.
Advantages of Magnetic Inductive Flow Meters
Magnetic inductive flow meters offer a number of advantages:
No Moving Parts → „Low Maintenance & High Durability“:
With no moving parts, MID flow meters require minimal maintenance and offer long-lasting durability.
No Pressure Loss → „Unobstructed Flow & No Pressure Drop“:
Since the flow remains unobstructed, MID flow meters generate no pressure loss.
High Measurement Accuracy → „Superior Precision“:
MID flow meters deliver highly accurate and repeatable measurements for demanding applications.
Application Areas
MID flow meters can be used in various applications:
Chemical Industry
Magnetic inductive flow meters (MID) play a central role in the chemical industry, particularly in the dosing and control of chemical solutions, even when aggressive media are involved. Thanks to their non-contact measuring principle, they are ideal for applications where conventional mechanical flow meters reach their limits due to the risk of corrosion or deposits.
Food & Beverage Industry
Magnetic inductive flow meters (MID) are indispensable in the food and beverage industry as they enable precise and hygienic measurement of conductive liquids. They are used in various areas, including the measurement of milk, beer, juices and syrups as well as ensuring dosing accuracy in production processes.
Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology
Magnetic inductive flow meters (MID) play a crucial role in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries as they enable precise, hygienic and reliable measurement of liquids. Their high accuracy, low maintenance requirements and suitability for conductive media make them a preferred choice in these sensitive industries.
Ready for Immediate Use & Low Maintenance
Pre-calibrated and ready for use, MID flow meters are designed for low-maintenance operation, free from moving parts.
