Page 8: Operational Limits
Operational limits Operational limits Technical data The values specified on the rating plate and the calibration certificate apply. The permissible operational limits of individual values influence each other so that every application is checked individually by the manufacturer when selecting the flowmeter. If no operating data are provided by the orderer, standardized substitute operating data are used. -
Page 9: Noise Levels
KRAL flowmeters operate almost silently. Heating system A heating system is not installed at the factory. The customer can optionally fit OME-series KRAL flowmeters with a trace heating system. The manufacturer recommends heating systems for high- viscosity liquids that do not flow sufficiently if not heated, because bearing damage and destructive of the device may otherwise result. - Page 10 Heating system 1 Heat insulation 2 Trace heating 3 Pick up with connecting cable 4 Piping 5 Temperature sensor with connecting cable 6 Junction box 7 Flowmeter X Area stringently without heat insulation Fig. 2 Flowmeter with trace heating system CAUTION Defective pick up, temperature sensor or cabling due to exceeding of the maximum temperature.

Page 16: Description
3 Measuring screw small 6 Measuring screw large KRAL flowmeters belong as screw meters to the group of rotating displacement meters. In a screw meter a special form allows an almost tight engagement of two intermeshing screws 3, 6 to be achieved. -
Page 17: Signal Generation
Signal generation Signal generation A pick up samples the measuring pulses directly on the screw. The pick up generates a specific number of pulses per flow volume unit - depending on the size and working point. This device-specific characteristic is called the K-factor (unit: Pulse/Liter) and can be found on the rating plate and the enclosed calibration certificate. -
Page 18: Linearization
Temperature compensation If the KRAL flowmeter is additionally equipped with a temperature sensor, the current density of the flowing liquid can be calculated from this measured value by means of a density table stored in the flow management unit. -
Page 19: Unpacking And Checking The State Of Delivery
Unpacking and checking the state of delivery Transportation, storage and disposal 1. On delivery unpack the KRAL flowmeter and check for damage during transportation. 2. Report damage during transportation immediately to the manufacturer. 3. Store the supplied pick ups and temperature sensors for the installation. -

Page 27: Switching Off The Flowmeter
Switching off the flowmeter Switching off the flowmeter Safety instruction for switching off the flowmeter Pay attention to the following when switching off the flowmeter: □ Strong changes to the flow rate (e.g. rapid shutdown, pulsations ...) cause marked pressure differences on the flowmeter and can damage the measuring unit. -
Page 28: Re-Calibration Of The Flowmeters
Recalibration and maintenance of your KRAL flowmeter ensures its measuring precision and technical functionality. The manufacturer provides the factory calibration as standard. If higher requirements are placed on the measuring instrument, an accredited calibration according to EN ISO/IEC 17025 is also possible. -
