GF Signet 2551 Magmeter Flow Sensor

Fits conductive liquid flow in DN15…DN900 (½…36 in.) pipe where you need an insertion magmeter with frequency, digital S3L, or 4–20 mA output and optional local display/totalizers.

Key advantages

Wide pipe ladder — DN15…DN900 (½…36 in.) with operating velocity 0.05…10 m/s.
±1% of reading + 0.1% FS — linearity; 4–20 mA loop error 32 μA max @ 25 °C / 24 VDC.
Multiple outputs — frequency, digital S3L, 4–20 mA; relays on display versions.
Signet fitting mount — automatic alignment/insertion; wet-tap options available.

Typical applications

Chemical and water lines using GF Signet fittings for insertion magmeters.
Conductive liquids (≥20 μS/cm) needing frequency, S3L, or 4–20 mA flow.
Wet-tap installs where the sensor must be removable under process pressure.

Selection guide

Pipe size / velocity — Operating velocity 0.05…10 m/s (0.15…33 ft/s); pipe sizes DN15…DN900 (½…36 in.). Match fitting size to the line, not just the velocity setpoint.
Accuracy — Linearity ±1% of reading plus 0.1% of full scale; 4–20 mA loop accuracy 32 μA max error (25 °C @ 24 VDC); repeatability ±0.5% of reading @ 25 °C.
Minimum conductivity — 20 μS/cm. Confirm media conductivity before RFQ.
Output — Frequency; digital S3L; 4–20 mA; relays on display versions (mechanical SPDT + solid-state). Blind versions available.
Supply — 4–20 mA: 24 VDC ±10%, 22.1 mA max; Frequency: 5–24 VDC ±10%, 15 mA max; S3L: 5–6.5 VDC, 15 mA max; relays aux 9–24 VDC, 0.4 A max.
Process connection — GF Signet installation fittings (alignment/insertion automatic); wet-tap options available.
Wetted materials — PP/316L SS; PVDF/Titanium; PVDF/Hastelloy-C; O-rings FKM (std), EPDM/FFKM optional. Match chemistry and pressure/temperature derate.
Pressure / media temp — Max pressure PP 10.3 bar @ 25 °C / 1.4 bar @ 85 °C; media temperature 0…85 °C (32…185 °F).
Ambient — Operating −10…70 °C (14…158 °F); storage −20…70 °C.
Housing / IP — Case PBT; display window polyamide; retaining nuts PP/PVDF (Valox optional). NEMA 4X / IP65 with cap installed.

Common mistakes

Ordering into media below 20 μS/cm — the published minimum conductivity is a hard limit for magmeter operation.
Ignoring the PP pressure derate (10.3 bar @ 25 °C → 1.4 bar @ 85 °C) and overstating line pressure at high temperature.
Specifying PP/316L SS when chemistry needs PVDF/Titanium or PVDF/Hastelloy-C — wetted material is a model-code choice.
Mixing S3L host expectations (GF 9900/9950) with a bare 4–20 mA PLC loop design without confirming the output code.
Assuming relays are always present — relays ship on display versions; blind units do not include them.

When to RFQ / what to tell us

Pipe size (DN15…DN900 / ½…36 in.), fluid conductivity, and working velocity / flow.
Output needed: frequency, S3L, 4–20 mA; display vs blind; relays yes/no.
Wetted material set (PP/316L SS, PVDF/Ti, PVDF/Hastelloy-C) and O-ring (FKM / EPDM / FFKM).
Process temperature and pressure (check PP derate table), wet-tap yes/no.
Host instrument (9900/9950 / 0486 / PLC), quantity, ship-to country.

FAQ

Q: Will the 2551 work on low-conductivity water? A: Published minimum is 20 μS/cm. Below that, pick another technology or confirm the fluid with us before RFQ.

Q: Frequency, S3L, or 4–20 mA — which output do I need? A: Frequency or 4–20 mA for PLC/analogue loops; S3L when the host is a GF Signet instrument (9900/9950) or 0486 Profibus concentrator. Output is ordered by model code.

Q: Do I always get a display and relays? A: No. Display with totalizers/relays is optional; blind versions are available. State display and relay needs in the RFQ.

Q: What should I send for a quote? A: Pipe size, conductivity, velocity/flow, output and display choice, wetted materials, T/P, wet-tap yes/no, quantity. Compatible with systems using GF Signet 2551 if you need a drop-in check — we do not claim authorized-dealer status.
