Krohne OPTISONIC 6300 ultrasonic clamp-on flowmeter

The Krohne OPTISONIC 6300 is now available with updated stainless steel sensor rails and an enhanced signal converter for quick and easy set-up. The ultrasonic clamp-on flowmeter is suitable for temporary or permanent installation on virtually any pipe up to DN4000 with process temperatures up to 200°C. It allows for flow measurement of liquids in main and utility applications where inline measurement is not possible or desirable.

The 316L stainless steel sensor rails are designed for quick installation and the same rail type can be used in hazardous areas, in extended temperature applications, in harsh conditions like offshore environments or as IP68/NEMA 6P version in submerged applications. For connection to the signal converter they feature a fixed signal cable of 6 or 10 m, optionally up to 30 m. As an alternative to coupling grease, solid coupling pads can be chosen as contact material for the ultrasonic transducers, eg, for high-temperature applications.

The signal converter has also been improved for quick and easy set-up of the measurement point with pre-programmed pipe parameters and an installation wizard. It controls either single-path or dual-path/dual-pipe applications simultaneously: for demanding applications, the product offers dual-path or X-mode configurations (two paired sensor rails with crossed measuring paths) for a stable measurement. It also features diagnostics in accordance with NAMUR NE107 and can be used as a heat energy calculator. All measured or calculated values can be displayed customised or made available as an output value.
