Kobold MIK-5NA10AD34P Product Overview
The Kobold MIK-5NA10AD34P is a high-reliability compact magnetic inductive flow meter engineered to precisely measure and monitor the volumetric flow of electrically conductive liquids in industrial piping networks. Operating entirely without moving parts according to Faraday’s Law of Induction, this obstructionless sensor provides maintenance-free flow tracking for clean, dirty, or aggressive media, making it an excellent match for water treatment plants, cooling lines, and chemical processing configurations.

Electromagnetic Induction Measurement Principle
The MIK-5NA10AD34P leverages Faraday’s Law to calculate fluid velocity through a magnetic field. As an electrically conductive liquid stream travels through the flow tube, it acts as a moving conductor, inducing an electrical voltage proportional to its speed. Two 316L stainless steel sensing electrodes directly capture this signal and deliver it to the integrated microprocessor. Because the cross-sectional pipe area is constant, the meter accurately establishes volumetric throughput independent of liquid variables like density, viscosity, and temperature.
Obstructionless, Maintenance-Free Industrial Design
Thanks to a full plastic PPS flow body that contains no turbines, gears, or rotating components, the MIK-5NA10AD34P creates a minimal pressure drop (max 3.7 PSI at full scale) and is completely immune to mechanical wear or jamming from suspended particles. This version features the specialized «AD» electronic package providing a 3-wire 4–20 mA linear transmitter loop combined with a programmable open collector switch point for precise process safety monitoring. It mounts universally in any axis, requiring only 3xDN straight run upstream and 2xDN downstream to safeguard measurement accuracy in tight automation footprints.
