Krohne launches dual Optiswirl vortex
flowmeter
Krohne has launched a new dual version of its Optiswirl vortex flowmeter: this instrument provides full redundancy back-up in applications where certainty of measurement is critical
The Optiswirl Dual has two separate converters This gives the instrument two completely independent measuring systems, which provide fail-safe measurement capability and back-up

Entry level, high performance flow converter
Krohne has launched the IFC100, a signal converter for its Optiflux range of electromagnetic flowmeters that offers excellent performance at an entry level price
The converters can also be independently programmed to measure different media that might be flowing through the same pipe.
The Krohne Optiswirl has been designed to be robust and highly versatile.
It is the only vortex flowmeter with integrated pressure and temperature measurement.
It incorporates ISP (intelligent signal processing) technology which eliminates unwanted signal noise to deliver precise, stable measurement.
The Optiswirl is designed to measure operating flow, volumetric flow and mass flow of conductive and non-conductive materials accurately.
These can be liquids, gases or vapours - and also it is applicable to some applications where material pressures and temperatures fluctuate.
The new Krohne instrument is designed to provide high reliability and once installed does not require on-going maintenance.
Its durable stainless steel case is resistant to pressure, temperature and corrosion, making it suitable for use in harsh applications, such as those in the chemical or petrochemical and gas industries.
The Optiswirl is also suitable for use in SIP (sterilisation in place) and CIP (cleaning in place) processes in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries.
With a simple to use, intuitive menu and 'plug and play' set up, the Optiswirl can quickly be operational.
PACTware is fitted as standard and its modular design allows electronics to be replaced easily.
Krohne ISP software uses a notch filter to identify the precise measurement value.
Initially the filter system analyses the entire measurement signal frequency spectrum and then identifies the vortex within it.
Irrelevant frequencies are then filtered out to leave a precise and stable measurement value.
