MEASUREMENTS FROM AMMONIA TO XENON
KATflow 180 G – This flowmeter measures the flow of almost any gas using the proven transit time difference technology.
The ultrasonic clamp-on sensors are simply mounted externally, keeping pipes and tubes intact and therefore making process interruptions a thing of the past.
With the KATflow 180 it is possible to measure flow of a variety of different gaseous media from 0.1 to 75 m/s. The advanced transducer assembly economically offers both shear and Lamb wave measurements with a minimum number of sensors, for greater simplicity. The unit is available for permanent use in both safe and hazardous environments with rugged housings for Zones 1 and 2. The KATflow 180 is easily programmed with a magnetic pen for increased safety and can measure on all commonly used pipe materials.
