Why choose the KATflow 230?

With its versatile technical features, the KATflow 230 is ideally suited to applications that require both extensive measurement options and a high degree of mobility. Equipped with two independent measurement channels, the device allows for the simultaneous monitoring of two pipelines or improves measurement accuracy under difficult conditions, such as unfavourable flow conditions. 

The IP65 aluminium housing, together with the high-quality IP66 stainless steel sensors, guarantees durability. Its extensive range of interface options, including current output, relay contact and open-collector, make the KATflow 230 a flexible solution for temporary installations and changing operating conditions – for example, as a replacement unit during the calibration of permanently installed flowmeters. The integrated Pt 100/Pt 1000 inputs also allow for the measurement of temperature-compensated volume flows and complete heat flow measurements. For more demanding requirements, an expansion module is also available, offering additional inputs and outputs – for example, for two-channel heat flow measurements or communication interfaces such as Modbus. 

With this combination of technical versatility, precision and portability, the KATflow 230 is a high-performance solution for varying operating conditions and complex measurement tasks.
