Flow meter for large pipe applications

KROHNE, Inc has developed a new clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter, the OPTISONIC 6300, which is suitable for large-pipe applications in heavy industrial and hazardous environments.

Offering performance capabilities that exceed those of the UFM600 T model, the OPTISONIC 6300 features improved measurement accuracy, ATEX Approval, an extended temperature range and the ability to handle multiple line sizes, the company says. Another new feature is an integrated display that allows signal quality to be shown in real-time during the calibration of the signal transducer. This allows engineers to optimize flowmeter performance and maximize measurement accuracy.

The flowmeter's clamp-on mechanism has been designed to aid installation in industrial applications and it is also fitted with a protective casing that ensures smooth and efficient operation in demanding and hazardous conditions, including aggressive vapour and dust and mechanical damage and solar radiation.

Available in three sensor sizes, the OPTISONIC 6300 can cover the entire pipe diameter range from ½ inch to 160 inch. Two other sensors are available for extreme temperature applications, ranging from -5 to +200°C.
