Both the KATflow 200 and KATflow 230 operate for up to 24 hours in continuous operation on a full charge. The flowmeters should fully charge in twelve hours. The operating time of a portable flowmeter would decrease if the instrument is used intermittently. The KATflow 230 is fitted with two 4-20 mA active outputs. [...]
Bidirectional flowmeters are ideal for systems containing a flow that needs to be measured in both directions. For example monitoring pump performance, measuring fluids in hydraulic circuits and for cooling systems.
Flow measuring in an installation that is in operation Occuring problems: Fluctuations in the suction pressure Fluctuations in the discharge pressure Fluctuations in the motor sound Fluctuations in the motor rpm Fluctuations in the measured sound level dBA as well as dBC To solve this kind of problem, you have to collect as much [...]
If the pipe is painted, and the coating looks in good condition, there is no need to remove the paint in order to get a good measurement. Paint should only be stripped from a pipe if it is flaking or in poor condition, where there is obviously multiple layers of paint, or where measurement [...]
Dual-channel flowmeters: for the best results under the worst of flow conditions. One of the assumptions made when installing a flowmeter is that the instrument in a location where there is a stable and undisturbed flow. The reality is though that accessing such ideal measurement conditions is often difficult, or impossible. Disturbances in the [...]
Our clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters can display the following data : Volume of the flow : m3 / h, m3 / min, m3 / s, l / h, l / min, l / s, USgal / h (US Quantity : gallons per hour, USgal / min, USgal / s, bbl / d (barrels per day), [...]
Yes, ultrasonic flowmeters can measure both liquids and gases. However, different types of sensors and settings are used for this. Clamp-on flowmeters for liquids are the most common. For gas measurements, additional requirements apply regarding pressure, temperature, and pipe materials. See our product pages for the correct version for each application. [...]
Once applied to the sensors during the initial installation, the acoustic coupling paste should not have to be replaced. Please note : If the mounting point is exposed to extreme atmospheric conditions, we would recommend the coverage of the sensors to be checked once a year.
All U-F-M | Katronic clamp-on ultrasonic sensors have a minimum protection of IP66. They are suitable for use on underground pipes and in open areas where they are exposed to rain. Please note that it is possible to upgrade the sensors to IP68. This makes them suitable for underwater use.
The clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters from our KATflow series can measure the volume flow, even when the medium contains air bubbles or solids up to 10%.
