Electric welding must always be carried out with the earth pole closest to the welding point. Damage to meters due to welding is not comprised by Kamstrup’s factory guarantee. 7.12 Operational check Carry out an operational check when the complete meter (flow sensor and calculator) has been installed and connected.
Flow sensor manufacturers have been working on alternative techniques to replace the mechanical principle. Research and development at Kamstrup has proved that ultrasonic measuring is the most viable solution. Combined with microprocessor technology and piezo ceramics, ultrasonic measuring is not only accurate but also reliable.
