Buckingham, United Kingdom, August 04, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Badger Meter's M5000 Electromagnetic water meter has been given OIML approval and the Measuring Instruments Directive (MID) approval according to OIML R49-1 and MID M-001. OIML is the International Organisation of Legal Metrology established to promote global harmonisation of legal metrology procedures. MID is a European directive covering all major areas of fiscal measurement.

The M5000 Mag Meter features two internal battery packs providing up to 20 years of operation, a choice of liners and electrodes and are available from sizes DN15 to DN600. The M5000 is ideal for industrial flow applications where the meter design benefits from having no moving parts, ensuring a long trouble-free service life. M5000 can be used to measure clean or raw water containing solids. The range features high accuracy measurement of less than +/-0.4%. A field verification device is available for water network applications and WRAS approval is pending.

The meter range is typically equipped with configurable pulse outputs and internal data-logger with RS232, IrDA, and Modbus interfaces. Options for GSM/GPRS telemetry exist ensuring that collected data can then be centrally collected and evaluated.
