Ultrasonic flowmeter combines temperature-compensated measurement for various media with IO-Link
A PC interface enables measurement of media-specific volume flows even at changing temperatures
Whether in the pharmaceutical industry, water treatment or food production: If non-conductive media flow in a chemical process, ultrasonic flow meters are usually installed for monitoring. For monitoring, the measuring devices require short response times and a high degree of calibration freedom, otherwise incorrect metering or insufficient repeat accuracy will occur. The maintenance-free ultrasonic flowmeter type DUK with the newly developed C3T0 compact electronics from KOBOLD Messring GmbH provides a remedy here. Due to the extensive possibilities for on-site programming, the DUK is suitable for cross-industry use for diverse media.
Accurate measurement of all media
The flow meter of the DUK series previously covered the needs for water and water-like media. Now, by incorporating additional media parameters, the proven DUK is used for volume flow measurement of almost all homogeneous, Newtonian media, even without electrical conductivity. Examples include demineralised water (deionate), water-glycol mixtures with different mixing ratios, oils and aliphatic hydrocarbons such as ethanol, as long as ultrasonic waves can pass through.
This is possible by combining the DUK with the new smart electronics, onto which the file with media-specific data is imported from the PC and used from that point on. KOBOLD also sells the corresponding PC interface with USB connection. The associated software "Mediator Tool" is provided to the customer free of charge.
