Why the KATflow 230?

With its versatile technical features, the KATflow 230 is ideal for applications that require both extensive measurement options and high mobility. Equipped with two independent measurement channels, the device allows for the simultaneous monitoring of two pipelines or improves measurement accuracy under difficult conditions, such as unfavorable flow conditions. 

The IP65 aluminum housing, combined with the high-quality IP66 stainless steel sensors, ensures durability. Its extensive interface options, including current output, relay contact, and open-collector, make the KATflow 230 a flexible solution for temporary installations and changing operating conditions—such as a replacement unit during the calibration of permanently installed flow meters. The integrated Pt 100/Pt 1000 inputs also allow for the measurement of temperature-compensated volumetric flow rates as well as complete heat flow measurements. For more advanced requirements, an expansion module is also available that provides additional inputs and outputs—for example, for two-channel heat flow measurements or communication interfaces such as Modbus. 

With this combination of technical versatility, precision, and mobility, the KATflow 230 is a high-performance solution for varying operating conditions and complex measurement tasks.
