Krohne was the first manufacturer to offer its customers complete application and process diagnostics as well as an accuracy and linearity test (out-of-spec diagnostics) in addition to the usual device diagnostics for the Optiflux line. In a working committee led by NAMUR, representatives of manufacturers and users met to define which application problems (e.g. gas […]
Extending its portfolio of process analysis sensors and systems, Krohne has introduced three new SmartPat sensors for conductive conductivity measurement in liquids: SmartPat Cond 1200, 3200 and 5200. Introduced in 2013, SmartPat is a series of digital 2-wire loop powered sensors with integrated transmitter technology. Using a VP cable, any of these sensors can […]
Opticheck is an on-site verification tool for Krohne electromagnetic flowmeters, and is said to be the essential tool for making sure that your installed flowmeters are performing to specifications. When connected in-line on site, the tool gathers measuring data to ensure that the flowmeter is performing within 1% of the factory calibration. The baseline can be historic repair data from […]
Given the rising costs of raw materials and energy, companies must now come to terms with the issue of energy management more than ever before. An essential building block here is in-house energy balancing. It helps reduce energy costs while saving over the long term, providing the option of identifying the energy requirements of […]
Krohne introduces the Optimass 1400 and Optimass 2400 with the new signal converter MFC 400. Thereby, the entrained gas management EGM feature is now available for the twin straight tube sensors, providing no loss of measurement with gas entrainment up to 100%. In the past, gas entrainments in liquid media presented a huge challenge for mass flowmeters […]
With the Optisonic 8300, Krohne presents a dedicated ultrasonic flowmeter for the measurement of superheated steam. The two-beam flowmeter stands out with a measuring accuracy of 1 %, high repeatability, and a large dynamic measuring range. Typical applications include boiler and plant efficiency monitoring in (power) plants, energy balancing or inter-company steam billing. As downtime […]
ISO 9001 in one of the standards in the ISO 9000 range. It is suitable for all sizes and types of organisations and is well known in South Africa as an invaluable quality management system standard. In our virtual panel discussion we asked companies to share their experiences in achieving ISO 9001 and if […]
Measurement of flowing liquid in closed conduits is present in many different applications in our daily life, e.g. water or heat metering, gas metering, filling stations, in the chemical industry, the food industry, for batching or for process regulation. Usually liquid flowmeters are used to fulfil most of these requirements. The demands of the […]
The companies TÜV Nord, Krohne, Samson and Phoenix Contact have published a jointly created the “elearning on functional safety (SIL)” programme. Designed for system planners and operators of industrial process plants, the programme offers ten learning modules for the use of IEC 61508/61511 in safety-related systems. The course contents are product-neutral and commercial-free, and are based on the […]
