Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Introduction This installation and operating manual explains how to operate, install and perform maintenance on the flowmeter. Please read the manual carefully before installing the device and putting it into operation. The manual does not apply to non-standard versions or applications. All devices are thoroughly tested and checked for order compliance prior to shipping.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Packaging, mounting and shipment Carefully unpack the device to avoid damaging it. With the help of the delivery note enclosed in the packaging, check whether all technically relevant data coincide with your requirements. Storage and installation must be done in a clean and dry room so that contamination – especially of the interior of the fitting –...
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Applications KDS und BGK The KDS and BGK flowmeters are used for measuring the flow of liquid and gaseous products in pipes as well as dosing, monitoring, adjusting and controlling them. They show the current flow quantity in volume or mass per unit in time.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Operational mode and system design Measuring principle for BGK and KDS-K/C/S flowmeters Float principle: The product flows through the meter vertically from the bottom to the top, lifting the float until the buoyancy force and the weight of the float establish equilibrium. The height of the float is a measure of the flow quantity. KDS-K/C/S and BGK system design The meter consists of a conical fitting pipe with a float that can move vertically.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Input Measured variable Volume flow Measuring range The lower range value is considered 10 % of the upper range value. Measuring range span: 10-100 % Smallest measuring range: 0.1-1.0 l/h water Largest measuring range: 10-100 l/h water (KDS-K/C) 20-200 l/h water (KDS-S and BGK) Regulator range Largest regulator range:...
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH 9 Conditions of use The VDI/VDE guidelines must be observed. The meter is suitable for liquid products with sufficient flowability that are free of solids, do not bond and do not tend to settle and gases with linear flow behavior and an adequate inlet pressure.

Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH 16.1 Atmospheric conditions In accordance with DIN EN 1127-1, a “potentially explosive atmosphere“ is defined as a mixture of air and combustible gases, vapors, mist or dust under atmospheric conditions. Such conditions are defined in DIN EN ISO 80079-36, para. 1, with values Tatm = -20 °C to +60 °C and Patm = 0.8 to 1.1 bar. Outside this range, safety parameters for most ignition sources are not available.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH 16.4 Mechanical stability The flow meters have undergone an impact test to DIN EN ISO 80079-36.for a low level of mechanical hazard. Additional protective measures are required if there is a higher mechanical hazard level. 16.5 Without electrical equipment The basic version of the flow meter is a non-electrical device without its own ignition source and meets DIN EN ISO 80079-36 requirements.
