Jun 2015--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 because the relative movement between gas and fluid
dampens the amplitude of the measuring tube. This dampening leads to
inconsistent sensor amplitudes, which interfere with the electronics’
capability to determine the actual resonant frequency. While other mass
flowmeters simply "freeze" their last stable reading to cover
this "loss of measurement", OPTIMASS flowmeters with EGM are
able to follow and correct for the varying amplitudes. This is achieved
for entrained gas up to 100% of volume and continues to present an actual
measured reading, together with an indication or configurable alarm for
the user. This indication can be very helpful to improve processes by
identifying transient gas entrainments. The EGM feature is mainly relying
on the fast, completely digital, signal processing of the MFC 400 signal
converter. The MFC 400 also provides enhanced diagnostic and status
indications according to NAMUR NE 107.
OPTIMASS
1400 is a universal coriolis mass flowmeter for standard applications with
liquids and gases. With its stainless steel twin straight tube design, it
can be drained and cleaned easily, and presents a cost effective solution
for accurate measurement of mass or volume flow, density and temperature
in a variety of applications up to 130°C / 266°F. OPTIMASS 1400 features
an optimised flow divider for minimum pressure loss. Next to standard
flange process connections DN15…80 / ½...3", it supports a wide
range of industry standard hygienic connections.
OPTIMASS
2400 is a coriolis mass flowmeter for bulk mass and volume flow of liquids
and gases. Originally developed to meet custody transfer applications in
the oil and gas industry, it suits bulk, storage/loading/unloading and
high volume measurement of products like syrup, molasses and raw chemicals
as well. For flow rates up to 2,300,000 kg/h / 84,510 lbs/min, OPTIMASS
2400 is available in sizes DN100…300 / 4…12" with NACE compliant
stainless steel measuring tubes. The Super Duplex option offers a maximum
operating pressure of 180 barg / 2,600 psi. For bulk measurement in the
food and beverage industry, hygienic connections are available (DN100 /
4" only).
