Katflow 200 Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flowmeter Katflow 230 Dual Channel Ultrasonic Clamp-on Flow/Heat Meter l Easy to install and program through setup wizard l Clamp on to almost any existing full pipe carrying fluids l Ultrasonic meters have sensors, which are clamped to the outside of the pipe and and therefore the process remains uninterupted l Displays flowrate and flow total l Supplied with ultrasonic pipe wall thickness gauge l Built-in data logger l Typical accuracy 1 3% of displayed reading l Battery powered (for short periods) or mains powered Liquids with a solids/entrained air content of less than 10% in full pipes. The KF200 handheld clamp-on meter is a true portable flow meter. Experience has shown us that our customers needed a simple to use, lightweight practical flowmeter for simple flow measurement applications, precisely what the KATflow 200 does. The KATflow ultrasonic flowmeter range also benefit from a number of new features, including a graphical display providing the user with more information on the meter, a diagnostic screen with digital oscilloscope function and real-time graphs of the flow data. The instruments feature a new intelligent sensor location function intended to make correct sensor positioning easier than it has ever been. Flowhire s Katflow 200 flowmeters are supplied with extended 100,000 point data loggers and integral wall thickness probe to make it a complete pipe survey tool and to assist with the accurate installation of the meter. The ultrasonic sensors used with the KATflow 200 are manufactured with a stainless steel head and cable conduit for extreme robustness. They are supplied with dual sensor sets to cover a pipe diameter range from 10mm to 3000mm with special options available for more demanding applications.

In contrast to its hand-held couterpart, the KATflow 230 offers two measurement channels which enable the instrument to monitor two pipes simultaneously. The KATflow 230 also offers a heat quantity measurement function that turns the instrument into a portable energy meter. The KATflow 230 incorporates measured flow and temperature values delivered by two PT100 sensors into heat flow and heat quantity this is valuable information to assess the efficiency of heat exchangers and HVAC systems. Flowhire s KATflow 230 flowmeters are supplied with extended 100,000 point data loggers with each measurement comprising up to 10 units (velocity, volume, mass, heat flow, heat quantity and temperature units) which can be selected by the user before each measurement. In combination with a data logger, the KATflow 230 is supplied with the KATdata+ software which enables the user to download and visualise the flow data on a computer after the measurement or in real-time using the embedded terminal function. The data can be transferred via RS 232 or USB. The ultrasonic sensors cover a pipe diameter range from 10mm to 3000mm and process temperatures from 3 to +200 C with special options for more demanding applications.

Prosonic 93T Ultrasonic Clamp-on Flowmeter Fluxus F608 ATEX Ultrasonic Clamp-on Flowmeter The ideal solution for applications with sound conducting liquids, e.g. water, wastewater, oils, solvents, acids, hydrocarbons and chemicals. Ultrasonic Clamp on Flowmeter for the measurement of liquids in Zone 2 hazardous areas without the need for hot work permits. The F608 has ATEX, IECEx and FM approvals. l Ideal solution for temporary use everywhere precise measurement or verification is required l Particularly suitable for retrofitting, monitoring and verifying measuring points l Suitable for pipe diameters from DN 15 to 4000 ( 1 /2 to 160 ) l Suitable for fluid temperatures ranging from 40 to +170 C l Can be used with all metal and plastic pipes lined or unlined and with composite pipes l Ideal solution for all applications with soundconducting liquids, e.g. water, wastewater, oils, solvents, acids, hydrocarbons and chemicals l Integrated data logger l Easy data transfer via USB stick without additional software The new Endress and Hauser Prosonic 93T is a highly advanced portable ultrasonic flow measuring system for the volumetric flow measurement of liquids. The Prosonic Flow ultrasonic clamp-on system allows accurate and cost-effective flow measurement from outside the pipe and without the need to interrupt the process. The flow measurement is bidirectional and causes no pressure loss. Performance The measured error depends on a number of factors. A distinction is made between the measured error of the device (Prosonic Flow 93T = 0.5% of the measured value) and an additional installation-specific measured error (typically 1.5% of the measured value) that is independent of the device. The installation-specific measured error depends on the installation conditions on site, such as the nominal diameter, wall thickness, real pipe geometry, fluid, etc. The sum of the two measured errors is the measured error at the measuring point. l Designed for ATEX, IECEx and FM Zones, IP65 l 4 20mA Output l High impact Carbon Fibre housing l Rugged transducer design l Compact and very lightweight l Fast and easy set-up (less than five minutes) l Integrated high capacity Li-Ion battery (> 14 hrs of remote measuring) l Superior accuracy even with media containing solids and gases due to the HybridTrek-Mode The extremely resistant carbon fibre housing, together with the rugged transducer design, ensures a high impact protection as well as resistance against oil, water and many other liquids. The measurement system can be fully set-up in less than five minutes due to the intuitive user guidance and the automatic transducer recognition. Its application range is unrivalled from pipes as small as 10mm up to 6500mm inner diameter and temperatures ranging from 40 to +200 C. The flowmeter is designed for direct usage in demanding environments, such as in the Upstream, Midstream and Downstream area as well as in the processing industries and the energy sector. The F608 portable flow meter features a highly precise bi-directional measurement at fast and even very slow flow rates over a wide dynamic measurement range and is not prone to temperature and zero drift, being fully compliant to ANSI/ASME regulations. However, the F608 is not only safe, accurate and reliable, but also very compact and lightweight, offering the user to even carry the complete measuring system in personal luggage for Offshore visits.
