Katronic KATflow 230 Quick Start Manual

Step 1: M easurement Point and Pipe Preparation
• void installation of sensors in the vicinity of d eformations and pipe
d efects, near weld ing seams or where d eposits cou ld have accu mu -
lated .
• Select a measu ring point with su fficient straight pipe to obtain ac-
cu rate measu rements. Please consu lt the manu al for the recom-
mend ed d istances from sou rces of d istu rbance.
• For a horizontal pipe, mou nt the sensors on the sid e of the pipe. For
a vertical pipe, mou nt the sensors at a location where the liqu id
flows u pward s (Pic. 1).
• M ou nt the sensors in the d irection of the flow (Pic. 2).
• Clean the pipe at the measu rement point. Remove loose paint and
ru st with a wire bru sh or file.
• pply cou pling paste to the face of the clamp-on sensors before
attaching them to the pipe.

2. Flow d irection
Reflection Mode
The flowmeter uses an even number
of passes. This is the most conveni-
ent mounting arrangement, as the
transducer separation distance can
be measured very easily and the
sensors can be accurately aligned.
Use whenever possible (Pic. 3).
Diagonal Mode
Signal travels on an odd number of
passes through the pipe.
pass can be used for larger pipes
and for dirty/aerated liquids where
greater signal attenuation can occur.
The sensor distance on this moun-
ting configuration can be negative
(sensors overlapping) (Pic. 4).
