Flowmeter integrates pressure and
temperature
The Optiswirl 4070C is designed to measure operating flow, volumetric flow and mass flow of conductive and nonconductive materials accurately.
Krohne has launched a robust and versatile vortex flowmeter with integrated pressure and temperature measurement The Optiswirl incorporates the company's ISP (intelligent signal processing) technology which eliminates unwanted signal noise to deliver precise, stable measurement

Vortex flowmeter provides full redundancy
Krohne's Optiswirl vortex flowmeter provides dual measurement in pipelines where two different media flow concurrently.
Level sensor monitors naphthalene
Naphthalene has a very low di-electric constant of around 2.2 at 100C, which makes it particularly difficult to measure.
Flowmeter improves wax production
The wax flowing through the flowmeter can vary in density from 0.8 to 1.0kg/litre and in viscosity from 5.5 to 1200cP.
The Optiswirl 4070C is designed to measure operating flow, volumetric flow and mass flow of conductive and nonconductive materials accurately.
These can be liquids, gasses or vapours - and in some applications where material pressures and temperatures fluctuate.
Krohne's new 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's 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.
