Select the right magmeter for your application

Magmeters and other water flow meters from ifm measure use purely digital signals via IO-Link to provide high-accuracy measurements. They also feature on-the-fly recipe changes and device adjustment. 

Select the best flow sensor for your application

Choose the best sensor for your needs and visit the magmeter setup and support page for installation guides.

Magmeters with totalizer function

Magmeters with totalizer functions calculate and accumulate the total volume of fluid passing through the meter over a specific period. The totalizer function is essential for applications requiring precise fluid monitoring and control or detailed accounts of total fluid volume.
