MAGFLOWS

Magnetic flowmeters, among the most widely used types of flowmeters for measuring the flow of water and other liquids, have been around for more than 50 years. The Tobinmeter Company first introduced magnetic flowmeters for commercial use in Holland in 1952. Foxboro (now part of Schneider Electric) introduced them to the United States in 1954. Since this time, more than 60 suppliers worldwide have come to offer magnetic flowmeters for sale... Of the nine main types of liners for magnetic flowmeters the most dominant are PFA (perfluoroalkoxy), PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) -- Teflon® is a familiar trade name for PTFE made by DuPont -- and hard rubber. Hard rubber is widely used for water & wastewater applications.
