Katronic KATflow 100 ultrasonic flowmeter

The Katronic KATflow 100 is for permanent flow metering applications. The flowmeter has a reduced specification for applications where the features of the more advanced KATflow 150 and KATflow 170 are not required.

The transmitter electronics are housed in a robust wall- or pipe-mounted aluminium enclosure and can be powered by AC or DC power supplies. In spite of its relative simplicity, the KATflow 100 still offers the user a wide range of input, output and communication interfaces such as RS485, Modbus and the more traditional 4-20 mA and open collector pulse.

One of the key features of the KF100 is its flexibility. The software and hardware platform allow the flowmeter to be factory configured to suit specific customer requirements. In its simplest configuration, the KATflow 100 can be supplied as a blind instrument with commissioning carried out using a handheld programming tool.

The KATflow 100 offers an intuitive instrument menu and set-up wizard that guides the user step by step through the meter configuration. The correct installation of the clamp-on sensors on the pipe is made easy by the incorporated Audible Sensor Positioning Assistant, which gives the user visual and audible indications during sensor mounting.

As an optional item the KATflow 100 can be configured for heat quantity measurement. By using two of the available slots, the meter can accommodate two PT100 temperature sensors. When equipped with this feature, the KATflow 100 incorporates measured flow and temperature values delivered by two PT100 sensors into heat flow and heat quantity.
