KROHNE Offers OPTISONIC 8300 Ultrasonic Flowmeter For Superheated Steam

Offering high accuracy, repeatability, and large, dynamic measuring range

KROHNE, Inc.now offers the OPTISONIC 8300, a dedicated ultrasonic flowmeter for the measurement of superheated steam. This flowmeter is ideal for boiler and plant efficiency monitoring in power plants, energy balancing, or inter-company steam billing. The OPTISONIC 8300 2-beam flowmeter leads the industry with a measuring accuracy of 1%, high repeatability, and a large dynamic measuring range.

As downtime of steam pipes is very costly and must be avoided, OPTISONIC 8300 was built for long term use: it features a full-bore flow sensor without moving parts or obstructions, and a robust overall construction, with no cables or sensitive parts exposed. As a result, it can maintain measuring accuracy without maintenance or subsequent calibration for up to 20 years while keeping operating costs at a minimum. If verification of measuring accuracy should become necessary, it can be provided by the flowmeter diagnostics without removing the flowmeter.

With nominal sizes ranging from DN 100...1000 / 4…40", OPTISONIC 8300 is particularly well suited to high flow rates. Pressure rating up to 200 bar / 3625 psi and temperature rating up to 540 °C / 1004 °F are available, with higher requirements available on request. With temperature and pressure sensors connected to the device, the integrated flow computer can calculate steam mass flow.

The OPTISONIC 8300 adds to KROHNE’s industry-leading portfolio of ultrasonic process and custody transfer meters for liquids and gases, ranging from compressed air to liquid natural gas (LNG).
