Why the KATflow 100?
The KATflow 100 is a clamp-on flow meter with a robust design for continuous measurements on individual pipes. With its deliberately streamlined features, it offers an efficient solution for standardized measurement tasks—ideal for large scale projects and mass-production applications.
The measurement electronics are housed in a sturdy yet lightweight IP66 aluminum enclosure that protects against dust, moisture, and mechanical stress. Combined with high-quality IP66 stainless steel sensors, this ensures reliable long-term operation in industrial environments. The KATflow 100 can be mounted either on a wall or directly on the pipe and is suitable even in confined spaces. The device can be powered via either AC or DC.
Despite its simple design, the device features customizable settings and numerous communication interfaces, including Modbus, 4–20 mA, and open-collector, and can be easily integrated into existing systems. Using the digital bidirectional totalizer, measured values can be continuously recorded and totaled over defined time periods. In addition to pure flow measurement, the device also enables heat quantity measurements in combination with Pt 100 or Pt 1000 temperature sensors.
The KATflow 100 combines a compact design with flexible features and low purchase costs. This makes it the practical and cost-effective solution for applications where simplicity and functionality are equally important.
