Many power plants use non-conductive liquids that cannot be reliably measured with electromagnetic flowmeters. Katronic ultrasonic flowmeters operate without any problems regardless of conductivity and are therefore suitable for a wide variety of different media.
Ultrasonic Flow Measurement for Power Generation
Whether in hydroelectric power plants, conventional power plants, or nuclear power plants—precise and uninterrupted flow measurement is a key component of safe and efficient plant operation.
The Benefits of Katronic Ultrasonic Flow Meters in Power Generation
Measurement technology must not interfere with ongoing operations at any time. Katronic’s clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters meet these requirements and are therefore used by leading energy utilities worldwide. Furthermore, they allow for flexible integration into existing systems, as neither piping modifications nor downtime are required. This supports safe, continuous operation and, in particular, facilitates retrofits and temporary measurement tasks.
Independence from electrical conductivity
Measurement without downtime
The ultrasonic sensors are clamped to the outside of the pipeline. No cutout in the pipe is required, so measurements can be taken directly during regular power plant operation. This prevents downtime, production losses, and interference with safety-critical systems.
Economic Benefits of Large Pipe Diameters
In power generation, pipelines with very large diameters are frequently used. While the costs of invasive measurement systems rise sharply as pipe diameter increases, the purchase costs of clamp-on systems remain constant. This makes Katronic flow meters particularly cost-effective for main pipelines in power plants.
