Ultrasonic flowmeter OPTISONIC 8300

for gas and steambi-directionalprecision

• 2-path meter with optional mass flow and enthalpy calculation • For steam billing, boiler or power plant monitoring (up to +620°C / +1148°F) • DN100…1000 / 4…40"; max. PN250 / ASME Cl 2500 • Large turndown ratio (60:1) The OPTISONIC 8300 is a 2-path ultrasonic flowmeter for flow measurement of superheated steam and high temperature gases up to +620°C/ +1148°F and max. 200 bar / 2900 psi. It delivers high performance over a wide flow range (up to DN1000 / 40", turndown ratio: 60:1). This makes the flowmeter the ideal solution for boiler and power plant monitoring or as steam billing device. With temperature and pressure sensors connected to the meter, its integrated flow computer can also calculate steam mass flow or enthalpy. The OPTISONIC 8300 was designed to avoid costly downtime of steam pipes. It features a full bore flow sensor without moving parts or obstructions to prevent pressure drop. It can uphold its high measuring accuracy (<±1% of measured value) without maintenance or subsequent calibration for up to 20 years. There is no need to remove the meter, valves and a bypass are thus not required. If verification of the measuring accuracy is necessary, it can be provided using the flowmeter diagnostics. The OPTISONIC 8300 comes with digital communication options. • Bi-directional flow measurement over a wide dynamic range • Integrated flow computer option: Mass flow and enthalpy calculation according to IAPWS-IF97 • Current inputs for external pressure and temperature sensors • Suitable for energy balancing • High accuracy: DN150)
