7ME6520-2CA13-1AA1 — Siemens SITRANS FM MAG 5100W Electromagnetic Flowmeter
The Siemens SITRANS FM MAG 5100W is an electromagnetic flowmeter (EMF) for the accurate measurement of volumetric flow of electrically conductive liquids — including water, wastewater, seawater, slurries, acids, alkalis, and pulp — in full-bore pipe installations from DN15 to DN1200. The electromagnetic measurement principle applies Faraday's law of induction: the flowing conductive liquid cuts a magnetic field generated across the pipe bore, inducing a voltage proportional to the flow velocity; since no element is inserted into the flow path, the meter has no moving parts, zero pressure drop, and zero maintenance requirement for the flow-sensing element itself — the lowest lifecycle cost of any flow measurement technology for clean liquids.
The MAG 5100W sensor pairs with the SITRANS FM MAG 6000 or MAG 6000 I transmitter, providing a 4–20 mA output proportional to flow rate, a pulse output for totalised volume, and HART 7 digital communication for device management from any HART-enabled DCS or handheld communicator. PTFE lining provides chemical resistance to aggressive liquids, while hard rubber lining covers abrasive slurry applications. Hastelloy C electrodes handle the mildly corrosive fluids — seawater, brine, hypochlorite — that are the primary metered fluids at Saudi desalination and water treatment facilities. ATEX Zone 1 and IECEx certification is available for classified area installations at petrochemical plants.
In Saudi Arabia, the SITRANS FM MAG 5100W KSA is the dominant electromagnetic flowmeter at SWCC and MARAFIQ desalination plants, NWC municipal water distribution networks, and SABIC utility water systems in Jubail — where the meter's no-moving-parts reliability on continuous 24/7 service and the ability to measure zero-flow bidirectional flow accurately make it irreplaceable for water billing, production accounting, and leak detection applications. Large-diameter DN600 to DN1200 MAG 5100W meters are installed at raw water intake and treated water transfer stations where the annual volume of water metered determines inter-authority billing between utilities and industrial users.
Razz Middle East supplies SITRANS FM electromagnetic flowmeters in all diameters and lining materials, with factory calibration certificates, in-situ verification services, and field commissioning across Saudi Arabia.

Key Features & Benefits
- No moving parts and zero pressure drop delivers the lowest lifecycle maintenance cost for clean liquid flow measurement, eliminating the impeller wear and bearing replacement costs of mechanical meter technologies.
- Bidirectional flow measurement with the same accuracy in both forward and reverse directions enables pipeline leak detection by comparing flow at both ends of a distribution pipeline segment.
- OIML R49 water meter approval allows the MAG 5100W to be used for billing-grade water measurement between utilities and industrial users, satisfying the Saudi legal metrology requirements for custody transfer metering.
- PTFE lining provides chemical inertness to highly aggressive liquids including concentrated acids, alkalis, and hypochlorite — the primary disinfectant used at Saudi water treatment facilities — without lining degradation.
- Hastelloy C electrodes resist the mildly corrosive seawater and brine media at SWCC and MARAFIQ desalination plants, where stainless steel electrodes would suffer chloride pitting in the high-salinity feed water.
- HART 7 communication provides device diagnostics including electrode coating detection, empty pipe detection, and process noise alerts, enabling proactive maintenance scheduling before measurement accuracy degrades.
- Large-diameter availability from DN600 to DN1200 provides the bore sizes required for the main transmission mains at water treatment and desalination transfer pumping stations where volumes of billions of litres per day are metered.
Industrial Applications in Saudi Arabia
- Treated seawater production metering at SWCC and MARAFIQ reverse osmosis desalination plants, where DN600 to DN1200 MAG 5100W meters on plant output headers provide the production accounting volumes for inter-authority water tariff billing.
- Municipal water distribution network flow measurement at NWC district metering areas (DMAs) across Saudi cities, where bidirectional flow meters at DMA boundaries enable network hydraulic modelling and non-revenue water loss detection.
- SABIC industrial utility cooling water flow metering at Jubail petrochemical complex, where the meter's no-maintenance design reduces instrument maintenance workload at facilities with thousands of measurement points.
- Wastewater and effluent flow measurement at industrial wastewater treatment plants in MODON industrial estates, where hard rubber lining handles the abrasive suspended solids in raw wastewater influent streams.
- Irrigation water distribution metering at large-scale agricultural and landscaping projects under Saudi Vision 2030, where accurate volumetric measurement supports water efficiency KPIs and conservation reporting.
- Chemical dosing flow verification at water treatment chlorination and coagulant dosing stations, where small-diameter DN15–DN25 MAG meters provide accurate verification of chemical injection rates for process control.
- Produced water and injection water metering at Aramco water injection facilities, where the bidirectional flow capability allows the same meter to measure injection flow and flowback from the reservoir under different operating conditions.
