Krohne launches dual vortex flowmeter
Krohne has launched a dual version of its Optiswirl vortex flowmeter. The instrument provides full redundancy back-up in applications where certainty of measurement is critical. It can also provide dual measurement in pipelines where two different media flow concurrently.
The Optiswirl Dual has two separate converters, giving the instrument two completely independent measuring systems, which provide fail-safe measurement capability and back-up. The converters can also be independently programmed to measure different media flowing through the same pipe.
It is also the only vortex flowmeter with integrated pressure and temperature measurement, Krohne says. It incorporates the company's ISP (intelligent signal processing) technology which eliminates unwanted signal noise to deliver precise, stable measurement.
The Optiswirl designed to measure operating flow, volumetric flow and mass flow of conductive and non-conductive materials accurately. These can be liquids, gasses or vapours - and for some applications where material pressures and temperatures fluctuate.
The new product is also suitable for use in SIP (sterilisation in place) and CIP (cleaning in place) processes in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries.
