The external sensor installation prevents leaks, pressure losses, or flow disturbances. Ship operations remain unaffected, while stable and reproducible measurement values are recorded.
Ultrasonic Flow Measurement for Maritime Applications
In shipbuilding and marine engineering, piping systems often extend for several kilometers through areas that are difficult to access. The fluids transported range from drinking water and wastewater to cooling and heating circuits, as well as fuels and hydraulic oils. For operational reasons, measurement points often cannot be opened or taken out of service.
The Benefits of Katronic Ultrasonic Flow Meters in the Maritime Sector
Katronic offers portable and stationary clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters that have been specifically developed for maritime applications, both for continuous measurement at sea and for on-site measurements as part of maintenance and inspection work. The systems allow for flexible retrofitting without interfering with existing piping and help prevent downtime and time-consuming installation work. At the same time, they ensure reliable and stable flow measurement even under demanding environmental conditions.
Reliable measurement without interfering with the piping system
High practicality for maintenance and inspection
Katronic portable devices are designed for mobile use in confined and hard-to-reach areas. Installation is quick and requires no tools, making them ideal for maintenance, inspection, and repair work on board.
High practicality and flexibility
In addition to portable devices, Katronic also offers stationary and ATEX-certified models for potentially explosive atmospheres. Many models allow simultaneous measurement on two pipelines. This helps reduce costs and enables measurements of supply and return flow or differential flow in fuel systems. They also feature extensive input and output options for integration into existing onboard and control systems.
