1 Introduction 1.1 Pioneering work and continuous development Since 1991 Kamstrup has provided static ultrasonic flow sensors for heat meters and is among the pioneering manufacturers of this technology. The stand-alone flow sensors ULTRAFLOW® are the trademark of the Kamstrup static flow sensors based on the ultrasonic measuring principle.

4.2 Accessories for ULTRAFLOW® To supplement the meter program, Kamstrup can per order deliver couplings and gaskets as accessories. All couplings and gaskets for couplings as well as flange gaskets up to and including DN80 are suitable for both PN16 and PN25. Flange gaskets DN100 and DN125 are suitable for PN25 only due to their physical dimension.
In the case where galvanic separation is not necessary and flow-info is required, the Cable Extender Box enables an extension of the cable length between ULTRAFLOW® and MULTICAL® up to max 30 m.

ULTRAFLOW® 54 DN15-125 6.5 Inlet prerequisites Kamstrup’s flow sensors require neither straight inlet nor straight outlet to meet the Measuring Instruments Directive (MID) 2014/32/EU, OIML R75:2002 and EN 1434:2015. A straight inlet section is only necessary in case of heavy flow disturbances before the meter.

For meters with two ULTRAFLOW® flow sensors connected to the calculator, both ULTRAFLOW® signal cables must be disconnected. Damage to meters due to welding is not comprised by Kamstrup's factory guarantee. 6.13 Operational check Carry out an operational check when the complete meter (flow sensor, temperature sensors and calculator) has been installed and connected.
Within the heat, cooling and water meter industry, producers have been working on alternative techniques for the replacement of flow sensors based on the mechanical principle. Research and development at Kamstrup have proven that ultrasonic measuring is the most viable solution. Combined with microprocessor technology and piezo ceramics, ultrasonic measuring is not only accurate but also reliable.
