Durchflussmesser mit Ex-Zulassung

For a reli­able process, qual­i­ty and man­u­fac­tur­ing guide­lines must be adhered to, even with fre­quent prod­uct changes, and pro­duc­tion para­me­ters must be doc­u­ment­ed. In addi­tion, Bürk­ert Flu­id Con­trol Sys­tems now offers its FLOWave flow meter Type 8098 as an ATEX-cer­ti­fied ver­sion up to Ex zone 2 for pro­duc­tion process­es in poten­tial­ly explo­sive environments.

The com­pact and light­weight device mea­sures the vol­ume flow inde­pen­dent­ly of the con­duc­tiv­i­ty of the medi­um and is there­fore also suit­able for mea­sur­ing ultra­pure water and alco­hols. This means that it can be used, for exam­ple, in the man­u­fac­ture of phar­ma­ceu­ti­cals and spir­its as well as in lac­quer and paint pro­duc­tion. The flow sen­sor also mea­sures the tem­per­a­ture and the den­si­ty fac­tor and can, for exam­ple, quick­ly and reli­ably detect a change in media dur­ing rins­ing process­es. It sup­ports Bürkert’s own EDIP plat­form (Eff­i­cent Device Inte­gra­tion Plat­form) for easy dig­i­tal inte­gra­tion into the sys­tem control.

Hygien­ic mea­sure­ment thanks to SAW technology

The flow meter works accord­ing to the SAW method (Sur­face Acoustic Waves). With this mea­sur­ing prin­ci­ple with sur­face acoustic waves, there are no dead spaces or sen­sor ele­ments in the mea­sur­ing tube. This means that the CIP / SIP-capa­ble flow meters can be cleaned just as eas­i­ly as nor­mal pipelines, which low­ers oper­at­ing costs. All parts that come into con­tact with the medi­um are made of stain­less steel. The sen­sors thus meet the high­est hygiene stan­dards and facil­i­tate the val­i­da­tion of pro­duc­tion or clean­ing processes.
