Burkert Flow Meter 8032: Digital Display Inline Transmitter
Quick Answer: The Burkert Type 8032 paddle wheel inline transmitter delivers direct digital flow reading, 4-20 mA output, and relay dosing control in one compact device. It suits water treatment, chemical dosing, and cooling loops from DN06 to DN50. Silver Automation Instruments supplies the full 8032 range with local stock and technical support for Southeast Asia, Oceania, Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East.
How the Burkert 8032 works in practice
A paddle wheel sensor sits directly in the liquid stream. The flowing medium spins the wheel and a built-in Hall sensor converts rotation into frequency pulses. The digital display shows real‑time flow rate and totalized volume. Because the transmitter combines sensor, display, and electronics in one IP65 housing, you save the cost and wiring of a separate indicator. Installation is fast. Most engineers mount the 8032 in a horizontal pipe run and the display switches between L/min, m³/h, or US GPM with three push buttons.
Key technical specifications you will actually use
Pipe sizes: DN06, DN08, DN15, DN20, DN25, DN32, DN40, and DN50. Measuring range spans from 0.5 L/min up to 1,200 L/min depending on pipe diameter. Accuracy is ±1 % of full scale for water‑like liquids. Process temperature can run from 0 °C to 90 °C and the standard pressure rating is PN10. Wetted materials are stainless steel, EPDM or FKM, and PVDF or brass sensor fitting. Output options include 4-20 mA passive, open collector pulse, and two transistor outputs configurable as batch controller or alarm. Some models carry ATEX Zone 2 certification for gas atmosphere. We always confirm the exact ATEX code when a customer in a Qatar gas plant sends their zone classification.
Where we see the 8032 every day
Water and wastewater plants install the 8032 for iron chloride dosing and polymer injection. A desalination plant in Oman uses 10 units to monitor anti‑scalant feed and backwash flow. In food and beverage, the transmitter measures CIP return flow and rinse water. We also ship them to plastic recycling factories in Thailand where they meter cooling water in extruder lines. Because the 8032 needs a minimum conductivity of 20 µS/cm, it works with clean water and most chemicals but not pure deionized water. For those jobs we suggest a different meter but most industrial liquids pass the bar.
Installation adv
Keep a straight inlet run of at least 10 × DN and outlet run of 5 × DN. Avoid placing the sensor at the highest point of a pipe where air collects. In horizontal lines the paddle wheel axis must be horizontal, not vertical. This lets trapped air escape and keeps the wheel in full contact with the liquid. We learned this years ago when a paint manufacturer in Vietnam kept getting erratic low readings. The installer had mounted the unit with the wheel looking upward and an air pocket formed at startup. After rotating the body 90 degrees the signal was stable. A simple step but easy to miss.
Silver Automation Instruments: stock, price, and support
We hold standard 8032 transmitters with PVDF sensor fitting and EPDM seals in our Nanjing warehouse. Custom options like FKM seals, ATEX Zone 2, or 24 V DC loop power can ship in 14 working days. Our engineering team checks every configuration before dispatch. If you replace an older Burkert 8020 or 8030, we can match the Hall‑effect transmitter to your existing pipe fitting.

Five questions engineers ask before ordering
What pipe sizes does the Burkert 8032 cover? It handles DN06 through DN50. For larger lines we often supply the Burkert 8045 magnetic flow transmitter or our own electromagnetic series. Can it measure sulfuric acid or sodium hypochlorite? Yes, when you choose PVDF or brass body and FKM seals. Give us the concentration and temperature. We verify chemical compatibility with the Burkert resistance list. Does the 8032 output pulse and 4-20 mA at the same time? Yes, the pulse output and the analog 4-20 mA work simultaneously. You can wire one to a PLC and the other to a totalizer. Is an ATEX version available? Indeed, ATEX II 3G Ex nA IIC T4 Gc Zone 2 is a factory option. Not all pipe sizes get ATEX so we double‑check with Burkert when you request it. How do I get a quotation from Silver Instruments? Just email your flow range, pipe size, process temperature, and preferred output signals. We reply with a formal quotation including freight to your city. Repeat orders often ship in 3 days.
