Ultrasonic Flow Measurement for Safety-Critical and Continuous Processes

In the chemical and petrochemical industries, processes are typically continuous, the substances involved are often toxic, corrosive, or explosive, and equipment is subjected to high thermal and mechanical stresses. Under these conditions, measurement technology must be reliable, safe, and flexible—even for short-term needs or temporary measurement tasks.

The Benefits of Katronic Ultrasonic Flow Meters in the Chemical and Petrochemical Industries

Katronics clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters enable non-invasive flow measurement without requiring any modifications to the piping. This allows for quick installation without interrupting the production process or posing any safety risks. Our measuring devices are particularly useful when additional measuring instruments are needed on short notice—whether 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

KATflow flow meters are designed for continuous use in harsh industrial environments. Robust stainless steel sensors are used as standard. For particularly demanding environments, durable housing options made of epoxy-coated, copper-free aluminum or stainless steel are available. This ensures that measurement performance remains stable even at high temperatures, in aggressive atmospheres, and under continuous stress.

Maximum Safety for Personnel and Equipment

Because the sensors are mounted externally, measurement personnel never come into contact with hazardous chemicals. This not only reduces the risk of accidents but also minimizes the need for additional protective measures. At the same time, the risk of leaks or damage to the piping system 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 well as special sensor solutions for high-temperature applications. This makes the devices ideal for complex chemical production processes.
