Katronic : KATflow 200

As the KATflow 200 weighs less than 700 g and has very compact dimensions, it can easily be held in one hand. As a result, it is ideal for the use within difficultly-to-access locations such as manholes or other confined spaces. Furthermore, its high quality IP 65 housing with rubber shock protector makes the flow meter an extremely rugged and robust tool.

The KATflow 200 features several product innovations including a graphical display providing the user with more information on the meter and a diagnostic screen with digital oscilloscope function. As a special feature, the KATflow 200 also shows a real-time graph of the flow data.

The hand-held flow meter can be set up and measurements be obtained within a matter of minutes. This is made possible by the intuitive menu structure and Setup Wizard function of the KATflow 200, which guide the user step by step through the configuration process. Additionally, the flow meter offers the unique Audible Sensor Positioning Assistant - a new intelligent sensor location function which assists the user during the sensor installation process by giving real-time graphical instructions and audible signals.

The KATflow 200 features an internal data logger, which stores all measured and totalised values and parameter sets. The flow meter is supplied with the KATdata+ software which enables the user to download and visualise the flow data on a computer either after the measurement or in real-time using the embedded terminal function. The data can be transferred via the instrument’s RS 232 interface.

The clamp-on flow meter is supplied in an IP 67 rated crush-proof transport case which holds all necessary accessories including chains and clips for sensor installation, coupling paste, download software, RS 232 cable and the operating instructions.

The ultrasonic clamp-on sensors supplied with the KATflow 200 are manufactured with a stainless steel head and sturdy cable conduit and are fully auto detected by the transmitter. They cover a pipe diameter range from 10 mm to 3,000 mm and withstand temperatures from -30 °C to +200 °C. Their clamp-on mounting technique enables the sensors to measure liquid flows non-invasively and non-intrusively from outside the pipe. For this reason there is no need to cut into the pipe and therefore no interruption of flow, no pressure drop, and no risk of leakage at any time.
