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

Offshore and onshore facilities 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.

The Benefits of Katronic Ultrasonic Flow Meters in the Oil and Gas Industry

Katronics ultrasonic flow meters are specifically designed for these conditions. They are available in Ex-certified versions and enable reliable flow measurement without interfering with the high-pressure system. This allows even safety-critical applications in hazardous areas to be reliably implemented without compromising the integrity of the piping. In addition, the non-invasive installation reduces potential leakage risks and enables easy integration into existing systems without interrupting the process.

High operational reliability when handling hazardous substances

Since the sensors are mounted on the outside of the pipeline, the medium remains completely enclosed. The risk of leaks, explosions, or contamination is significantly reduced. Especially when dealing with toxic or highly flammable liquids, non-invasive measurement offers a decisive safety advantage and helps ensure compliance with international safety standards.

Minimal maintenance and service requirements

Offshore facilities are often accessible only with significant logistical effort. Katronic devices are designed for continuous, stable operation and require little to no maintenance. Our flow meters are also designed so that anyone with a basic understanding of technology can commission and operate them. The additional capability for remote parameterization and diagnostics significantly reduces the need for on-site service visits, which in turn cuts 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, saltwater, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations. Even at high flow rates and under varying operating conditions, the devices deliver stable and reproducible measurements.
