Vortex flowmeter for advanced energy measurement
Krohne's Optiswirl 4200 vortex flowmeter is designed for advanced energy management systems and is used to measure both conducting and non-conducting liquids, gases and steam as well as internal monitoring of energy flows for saturated and superheated steam.
Products
OPTITEMP TT 53 with NFC and Bluetooth
KROHNE, Inc. highlights the OPTITEMP TT 53, a universal programmable 2-wire temperature transmitter for resistance (RTD) and thermocouple (TC) elements. Aimed at the Chemical, Oil & Gas and the Power Generation industries, it features HART 7 communication, NAMUR NE 107 diagnostics as well as Ex approvals. Available in both compact (C) and rail-mounted (R) versions, the new transmitter can be programmed via PC or HART handheld, or wireless by using the OPTICHECK Temperature Mobile app for iOS and Android devices.
Mass flowmeter for food and beverage applications
KROHNE, Inc. highlights its OPTIMASS 1400 Coriolis mass flowmeter, which is the first choice for food and beverage applications due to its prime price-performance ratio. The technology reliably measures mass and volume flow, density and concentration (e.g.
OPTIWAVE 7500 Radar Level Transmitter
Krohne, Inc. highlights the OPTIWAVE 7500 radar (FMCW) level transmitter for demanding liquid applications such as narrow tanks with long nozzles or where internal obstructions such as agitators or heating coils are visible. This technology provides an ideal solution for a wide range of level monitoring and measurement applications across a range of industries. With a small beam angle and negligible dead zone, this 2-wire 80 GHz FMCW radar is the optimal choice for continuous, non-contact level measurement in both extremely small or very high tanks (up to 100m/328 ft). Impressively, the level radar signal can even pierce through tank roofs made of non-conductive materials to achieve pristinely accurate measurements.
Coriolis mass flowmeters for chemical and process industries
KROHNE, Inc. announces the availability of its OPTIMASS 6000, OPTIMASS 7000, OPTIMASS 1000 and OPTIMASS 2000 Coriolis mass flow sensors with the latest version of the compact or field mounted MFC 400 converters. Based on more than three decades of experience in developing innovative Coriolis meter technology, these devices are an ideal solution for all process measurement and custody transfer applications.
ALTOSONIC V12 Ultrasonic gas flowmeter
KROHNE, a manufacturer and supplier of solutions in industrial process instrumentation, highlights its ALTOSONIC V12 ultrasonic gas flowmeter. KROHNE’s ALTOSONIC V12 ultrasonic gas flowmeter offers high accuracy, making it ideal for custody transfer applications. The ALTOSONIC V12 has 12 measuring chords, two of which are solely dedicated to diagnostic functions.
OPTIWAVE 5400 for Level Measurement of Edible Oil
Beverly, MA: KROHNE, a world-leading manufacturer and supplier of solutions in industrial process instrumentation, highlights the application of its OPTIWAVE 5400 to level measurement of refined edible oil. The OPTIWAVE 5400, one of KROHNE’s industry-leading radars, offers continuous and accurate monitoring of oil level in tanks, empowering organizations to transform their processes by enabling efficient inventory management and control. The OPTIWAVE 5400 is a 2-wire, 24 GHz radar (FMCW) level transmitter for liquids in basic process applications. It offers continuous, non-contact level measurement in closed tanks or open air and can be equipped with a 316L Metallic Horn antenna or PP Drop antenna.
IFC 400 Electromagnetic Flow Converter
The IFC 400 helps detect external influences such as excessive vibration, temperature extremes, and magnetic field effects, and also detects process influences like chemicals and excessive sedimentation in the liquid. To detect these influences, the IFC 400 has a self-diagnostic function covering three aspects: process conditions, device functioning, and out-of-spec testing. The process measurement check detects leakages, contamination, liner deformation, and air entrainment in the process liquid. The device function self-check continuously monitors electronics and sensor hardware.
OPTISWITCH 6700
The OPTISWITCH 6700 offers the same point-level detection of liquids and solids as their previous models, now with 10-Link communication. Offering high- and low-level detection, the OPTISWITCH 6700 is ideal for overfill and dry-level protection. The OPTISWITCH 6700’s double output can be individually programmed to monitor different processes or media, making it an ideal solution for adhesives and difficult products, as detection is not affected by product build-up, foam, or condensation.
OPTIBAR PSM 1010 and OPTIBAR PSM 2010 ultra-compact pressure switches
KROHNE, a world-leading manufacturer and supplier of solutions in industrial process instrumentation, introduces OPTIBAR PSM 1010 and OPTIBAR PSM 2010 ultra-compact pressure switches for absolute and gauge pressure measurement in gasses and liquids. The switches feature configurable PNP/NPN switching output with IO-Link connectivity and a 2-axis (multi-rotatable) LED display and adjustment module. Both devices aim at basic automation applications such as hydrostatic level measurement in open tanks, dry-run protection of delivery pumps or pressure monitoring of compressors, hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
Electromagnetic flowmeter series
OPTIFLUX electromagnetic flowmeters avoid moving parts entirely to avoid wear and measurement inaccuracy due to drifting. These flowmeters are full bore and do not require flow conditioners or strainers. OPTIFLUX flowmeters work free-of-charge alongside KROHNE’s OPTICHECK verification software, which provides on site meter verification without requiring the meter to be removed from service.
