The KATflow 230 is a portable clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter featuring an advanced specification for situations which
require comprehensive measurement options and high
mobility.

General information

As the KATflow 230 only weighs 2.0 kg and features an enclosure manufactured to IP 65 standard, it is an easily portable yet highly robust clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter.

The KATflow 230 sets itself apart from the smaller KATflow 200 by offering two flow channels instead of one.

Equipped with a single set of sensors, the flow meter can measure on one pipe. By using two sets of sensors, the instrument can monitor two pipes simultaneously.

Alternatively, with both sets installed on one pipe, the ultrasonic flowmeter can also measure in a multipath mounting configuration.

The portable ultrasonic flow meter is also capable of measuring the temperature of the fluid using clamp-on PT 100 sensors
and can therefore determine thermal energy consumption.

Due to its three optional process outputs (current, digital open-collector and digital relay), the KATflow 230 can also be applied
for process monitoring and regulation.

The KATflow 230 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.

Furthermore, by equipping every KATflow clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter with the Audible Sensor Positioning Assistant - a new intelligent sensor location function - Katronic have made correct sensor positioning easier than ever before.

Data logger and serial interface

The KATflow 230 can be equipped with an internal data logger, which is available in two sizes to store up to 30,000 or 100,000 samples.

When ordered with a datalogger, the flow meter is also supplied with the KATdata+ software. It 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 or an optional RS 232 to USB converter.

Transport case options

The advanced KATflow 230 has two transport case options available.

Depending on whether the user requires high portability or robustness, the portable flow meter can be ordered with
a lightweight soft or crush proof case.

Furthermore, the KATflow 230 can be equipped with a wall thickness measurement probe.

Ultrasonic sensors and wall thickness probe

The ultrasonic clamp-on sensors and wall thickness probes supplied with the KATflow 230 are manufactured with a
stainless steel head and sturdy cable conduit ensuring
extreme robustness.

Furthermore, they are fully auto detected and interchangeable between all hand-held and portable KATflow instruments with no loss of performance.

The ultrasonic sensors cover a pipe diameter range from 10 mm to over 3,000 mm and process temperatures from -30 °C to +200 °C.

Measurement technology

All KATflow clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters apply ultrasonic transit-time measurement technology.

This enables the instruments to provide highly accurate and reliable flow data for almost any kind of liquid regardless of its electric conductivity.
