Clamp-on Flow Measurement for Offshore and High-Pressure Applications

Offshore and onshore installations in the oil and gas industry place the highest demands on measurement technology. Extreme weather conditions, corrosive atmospheres, high pressures and the handling of hazardous substances require robust, safe and low-maintenance measurement solutions.

Benefits of Using Katronic Ultrasonic Flowmeters in the Oil and Gas Industry

Katronics ultrasonic flowmeters are specifically designed for these conditions. They are available in Ex-certified versions and enable reliable flow measurement without any intervention in the high-pressure system. This means that even safety-critical applications in potentially explosive atmospheres can be reliably implemented without compromising the integrity of the pipework. Furthermore, the non-intrusive installation reduces potential leakage risks and allows for easy integration into existing plants without interrupting the process.

High Operational Reliability when Handling Hazardous Substances

As the sensors are mounted on the outside of the pipework, the medium remains completely contained. The risk of leaks, explosions or contamination is significantly reduced. Non-invasive measurement offers a crucial safety advantage, particularly with toxic or highly flammable liquids, and helps ensure compliance with international safety standards.

Minimised Maintenance and Servicing Requirements

Offshore installations are often only accessible with considerable logistical effort. Katronic devices are designed for long-term, stable operation and require little or no maintenance. Our flowmeters have also been designed so that anyone with a basic understanding of technology is able to commission and operate the devices. The additional option of remote parameterisation and diagnostics significantly reduces the need for on-site service visits, thereby cutting down on time, costs and the risk of downtime.

Reliable Measurement under Extreme Environmental Conditions

Stainless steel sensors with IP68 protection ensure high resistance to moisture, salt water, chemicals and temperature fluctuations. Even at high flow rates and under varying operating conditions, the devices deliver stable and reproducible measurements.
