Krohne has developed the UFM 3030 three-beam flowmeter to replace the UFM 500.
The three measuring beams of UFM 3030 generate a 3D cross-section of the medium’s velocity distribution, or flow profile, through the measuring tube.
These measuring beams are positioned such that measurement is effectively independent of the flow profile.
Major performance improvements have been achieved by applying sensors, innovative electronics in combination with Digital Signal Processing (DSP).
This results in stable and reliable measurements. The meter is more accurate and less sensitive to changes in the flow profile, solids or entrained air.
A new feature is the possibility to control batching operations, directly from UFM 3030. Optionally, pressure and temperature inputs can be accommodated for the calculation of standardised volumetric flow or mass flow (according to API 2540 or customer specified data). A complete offering of communication protocols and approvals for hazardous areas makes it possible to integrate the meter into existing systems.
