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
A high temperature-resistant, stress-free borosilicate glass cone permits direct viewing of the measuring float and, consequently, a direct reading of the flow.
This lends itself to close observation exercises such as batching additives or filter monitoring.
The VA30 is a Class 1 accuracy flowmeter and has a measuring range of 16-10,000/lh, with a turn-down ratio of 10:1.
It conforms to VDE/VDI Code 3513 and has a millimetre scale positioned on the internal glass cone.
In addition, a replaceable scale with flow units can be fitted to the housing and both cones and floats are replaceable.
The Krohne VA30 is suitable for use in hazardous areas and can withstand process temperatures up to 150C and pressures up to 10bar.
It also allows the fitting of two adjustable limit switches, which will initiate an electric signal on a preset flow value being reached.
The VA30 requires minimal maintenance and combines proven Krohne technology with their crucial understanding of the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries, to provide an effective solution for measuring flow within a hygienic environment.
