VARIABLE AREA FLOW METERS Where emphasis is on minimum investment and maintenance costs, flow measurement can be achieved with the proven and reliable measurement technology of a variable area flowmeter. Variable flowmeters offer a reliable measurement, good reproducibility and, thanks to a mechanical indicator, can also be used where no power is available. The meters are equipped with glass or metal cones, depending on the application. The range of applications vary from small flow rates with controllers to process monitoring of fl ows in pipe sizes to DN 100. Variable area flowmeters are highly suitable for dry gases and steam. The standard meter, H250, from KROHNE is universally installed for gas measurement and thanks to a metal cone it is highly temperature, pressure and corrosion resistant. Variable area flowmeters with a glass cone enables a visual check of the flow rate, e. g. a quick check of a flowing medium where contamination is a danger. Highlights

VORTEX FLOW METERS Vortex flowmeters measure gas and steam independent of pressure and temperature. This applies to wet gases and gas mixtures as well. The KROHNE OPTISWIRL 4070 C has integrated pressure and temperature compensation. This means that the meter can also accurately measure operating, standard volume and the mass fl ow under changing process conditions. Vortex flowmeters are good replacements for differential pressure flowmeters whose accuracy and pressure loss is often poor. Vortex flowmeters are suitable for utility metering, for example, in steam or air circuits, a vortex meter is a cost-effective measurement for balancing energy consumption. Highlights

ULTRASONIC FLOW METERS KROHNE has been the leading specialist for Ultrasonic flowmeters and world leader for in-line measurement devices for more than 25 years. The meters can be used in bi-directional metering with great accuracy and long-term stability. They can also be used in a wide range of pressures and temperatures. Ultrasonic flowmeters are capable to measure a wide variety of industrial gases and superheated steam independent of temperature, density and pressure influences. When compared to a turbine meter, it has no moving or intruding parts in the measuring tube which can cause a pressure drop and is maintenance free. Due to the smooth pipe section with no obstructions, coating of the measurement tube is minimised, thus reducing operating and maintenance costs. Ultrasonic flowmeters are highly suitable for large flow rates and the accuracy attained is suitable for Custody Transfer applications. With expensive products like natural gas, it pays to install a highly accurate ultrasonic meter such as the ALTOSONIC V12. With the improved accuracy and tangible savings that can be made, the meter will pay for itself in a short period of time. Highlights

ELECTROMAGNETIC FLOW METERS-TIDALFLUX 4300 F Solution for partially filled pipes
The TIDALFLUX 4000 flow sensor with integrated and non-contact capacitive level measuring system provides accurate flow measurement in partially filled pipes. TIDALFLUX is designed to measure reliably between 10% and 100% of the pipe cross section. The integrated level sensors in the liner are in no contact with the liquid and are therefore insensitive against fat and oil floating on the surface. Highlights

ELECTROMAGNETIC FLOW METERS-OPTIFLUX 7300 C Non wetted electrodes with high tech ceramic liner
The OPTIFLUX 7300 combines the advantages of non wetted capacitive electrodes, a ceramic liner and the IFC 300 converter. This electromagnetic flowmeter can be used for noisy applications, low conductivities, mediums tending to form an insulating film, applications with high vibrations, and oxidizing, abrasive and toxic mediums. Instead of conventional electrodes that have a direct contact with the process liquid, OPTIFLUX 7300 has a non-contacting capacitive signal pick-up. The electrodes are designed as large-area capacitor plates, mounted behind the ceramic liner. Because the electrodes have no contact with the medium, unwanted catalytic action with metallic parts is eliminated. A second benefit is that the insulation of electrodes no longer forms a risk. In case of a medium that tends to form a non conductive surface coating on the tube wall, the signal pick up between medium and electrodes will not be interrupted. The smooth and pore free ceramic tube construction does not leak and is CIP / SIP resistant, making it highly suitable for hygienic applications in for example the food & beverage and pharmaceutical industry. It is very hard, non permeable and has an extreme and broad chemical resistance, fulfilling requirements of the chemical industry. The construction of the OPTIFLUX 7300 offers an absolute leak tight solution, because leakage through the liner and leakage along the electrodes is not possible. The IFC 300 converter standardly includes extensive diagnostics of the process and meter and powerful filter settings for stable flow measurements. Highlights

ELECTROMAGNETIC FLOW METERS-BATCHFLUX 5500 C Flowmeter for volumetric filling machines
BATCHFLUX 5500 C is the industrial standard for volumetric filling machines. Its zirconium oxide liner guarantees extreme long-term dimensional stability and therefore no change in repeatability of filling volumes over long periods of time. The BATCHFLUX 5500 C is the successor to the BATCHFLUX 5015 C. The BATCHFLUX 5500 C offers some major improvements for the most commenly use sizes: DN10 and DN15. It has a better versatility of applications with a much better performance in difficult applications like fibrous products, hot filling and CIP / SIP processes. Another improvement is that KROHNE has been able to further reduce the dimensions and weight of the flowmeter. It now fits in tighter spaces. The weight of filling machines can be reduced and energy savings are possible. The BATCHFLUX 5500 C has en extreme low energy consumption. For the owner of the filling machine this means lower operation costs. Highlights

ELECTROMAGNETIC FLOW METERS-WATERFLUX 3070 Water Meter Battery powered electromagnetic water meter
The IFC 070 is a battery powered electromagnetic signal converter designed for use in combination with the WATERFLUX 3000 sensor. It is ideal for remote locations in the water industry where no power connection is available and provides certainty in case of power failure. The strengths of the WATERFLUX 3070 lies in its unique flow sensor construction with a rectangular and reduced cross section and its efficient coil construction. The coils provide a stronger and more homogenous magnetic field, leading to an improved signal to noise ratio. The measurement is therefore independent of the flow profile and measurements are very stable. This results in a very good low flow performance. Because of the unique WATERFLUX flow sensor design, whereby the mean flow velocity and flow profile are optimised within the rectangular and reduced cross section, the additional uncertainty for upstream disturbances is drastically reduced. The water meter can be installed directly after an elbow or reducer in the pipe without straight inlet or outlet lengths. A substantial reduction of inlet and outlet sections means smaller measurement pits. Another major benefit of the rectangular sensor construction is the very low power consumption of the signal converter. It has a long battery lifetime of up to 15 years with two internal batteries and 20 years with an external battery pack. Highlights
