Magnetic Inductive Flowmeters are one of the ideal flowmeter for liquids. However, the measuring liquids have one condition;
The liquid to be measured is to be conductive..

Theoretically, the accuracy of Magnetic Inductive Flowmeters is free from the difference and changes of liquid conductivity subject to the fact that the such liquid conductivity is separate than the Minimum Limit of the specification.

This Minimum Limit of the conductivity is specified by two different types of liquid;
Water and Other liquids than Water
This is because that Flow noise is easily induced by water and the indication and output are noisy and higher limit of conductivity is specified in case of Water flow measurement.

Such Minimum Conductivity by types of flowmeter as well as types of liquids is shown below;

Reference

·  Examples of liquids not suitable for Electro magnetic flowmeters due to conductivity;
    Petroleum, Petroleum products, Liquefied gases, Vegetable oil, Pure and Ultrapure water, Pure Alcohol
·  Seems to be OK, but failed
    Spirit having 25% alcohol. Whiskey just after distilled, 30% Propylene mixed water
·  Seems to be difficult, but successfully measured;
    Shampoo
·  Successful case by using Capacitance Detection type model MGM5090K-CAP
    Sugar syrup, Ethylene Glycol, Boiler water
(They could not be measured by existing Magnetic flowmeters.)
