Brine, sea water,or salt water is a very corrosive material to 316SS, so Hastelloy is the better electrode to use, and the liner could be any material except Neoprene for long life of the sensor tube. The MAG5100W comes standard with the Hastelloy measurement and grounding electrodes built-in to the liner, and can come as a 7ME6520 Series that offers EPDM and NBR rubber liners, or the US 7ME6580 Series that has Ebonite (hard rubber) liner. The standard polyamide (plastic) wiring junction box would survive better than the SS box that was referenced in another response.

Hello Preetbrar; In one of our projects that included flow monitoring for seawater, we decided to use a non-contact (ultrasonic) flometer to bypass the corrosion problem of electromagnetic flowmeter sensors and liners. We focused our choice on this type of sensor: https://eb.automation.siemens.com/goos/catalog/Pages/ProductData.aspx?catalogRegion=GB&language=en&nodeid=10035647&tree=CatalogTree®ionUrl=/uk# Look at the Product information tab on that link for general details. Hope this helps, Daniel; Chartier |
