KATflow flowmeters are designed for continuous use in harsh industrial environments. Robust stainless steel sensors are used as standard. For particularly demanding environments, durable housing variants made from epoxy-coated, copper-free aluminium or stainless steel are available. This ensures that measurement performance remains stable even at high temperatures, in aggressive atmospheres and under continuous stress.
Ultrasonic Flow Measurement for Safety-Critical and Continuous Processes
In the chemical and petrochemical industries, processes are generally continuous, the substances involved are often toxic, corrosive or explosive, and plant is subject to high thermal and mechanical stresses. Under these conditions, measurement technology must be reliable, safe and flexible – even for short-term requirements or temporary measurement tasks.
Benefits of Using Katronic Ultrasonic Flowmeters in the Chemical and Petrochemical Industries
Katronics clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters enable non-invasive flow measurement without the need to cut into the pipework. This means they can be installed quickly without interrupting the production process or posing any safety risks. Our measuring instruments are particularly useful when additional measuring equipment is required at short notice, for example due to the failure of existing equipment, the commissioning of a new plant or the expansion of a production line.
High Reliability in Continuous Operation
Maximum Safety for Staff and Plant
As the sensors are mounted externally, measurement personnel do not come into contact with hazardous chemicals at any time. This not only reduces the risk of accidents, but also minimises the need for additional protective measures. At the same time, the risk of leaks or damage to the pipework is significantly reduced.
High Adaptability to Complex Processes
Katronic measurement systems can be flexibly configured and adapted to specific process requirements. In addition to pure flow measurement, functions for measuring sound velocity, determining density, and compensating for temperature and pressure are available, as are specialised sensor solutions for high-temperature applications. This makes the instruments ideally suited to complex chemical production processes.
