Foxboro 9700A Magnetic Flowmeter

9700A Magnetic Flowmeter

The Foxboro 9700A is a high-performance, flanged electromagnetic flowtube designed specifically for harsh and demanding industrial process environments — where accuracy, durability, and resistance to corrosive or abrasive media are essential. Manufactured by Schneider Electric, the 9700A is part of Foxboro’s modular magmeter system, which pairs with signal converters (like the IMT30A, IMT31A, or IMT33A) to deliver a complete, advanced flow measurement solution. This flowtube leverages Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction to measure volumetric flow of conductive liquids. It is purpose-built to handle the kind of aggressive or complex fluids found in chemical plants, pulp and paper facilities, mineral processing operations, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and food & beverage production. It excels in measuring liquids with high solids content, slurries, caustics, and extreme pH levels. What sets the 9700A apart from standard magnetic flowmeters is its robust mechanical construction, customizable lining and electrode options, and its ability to perform reliably in electrically noisy, high-pressure, or temperature-variable environments. Its fully welded body, absence of moving parts, and optional IP68-rated enclosure make it exceptionally low-maintenance and long-lasting — even when submerged or buried in process pits or flooded vaults. When paired with a Foxboro IMT-series transmitter, the 9700A delivers high-accuracy flow measurement, diagnostics, and communication options for seamless integration into modern control systems, including DCS, PLCs, or SCADA environments.
