Katronic KATflow 100 Ultrasonic Clamp-On Flowmeter (Fixed)

Non-Hazardous & Hazardous Area Flowmeters

Ultrasonic Flow Meters

Katronic’s KATflow 100 is a fixed flowmeter which utilises ultrasonic technology to measure the flow rate of liquids within pipes without entering the pipe. The KATflow 100 is a compact and cost effective flowmeter for permanent installation and flow measurement on single pipes.

KATflow 100 flowmeters are suitable for pipe diameters ranging from 10mm up to 3,000mm and have a robust IP66 aluminium enclosure and has an LCD display and five key keypad.

Stainless steel sensors, cables and connectors are supplied as standard for temperature ranges from -30ºC to +80ºC and the KATflow 100 can be wall or pipe mounted as required.
