Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH The safety advisories and hazard warnings in the present document that aim to avoid placing operators and maintenance personnel at risk and to avoid material damage are prioritized using the terms listed below, which are defined as follows in regard to these instructions herein and the advisories pertaining to the device itself: Warning Caution...
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Storage and installation must be performed in a clean and dry room to avoid – especially of the interior of the fitting – contamination. The ambient temperature limiting values are to be adhered to. When transporting the device to a remote mounting location, we recommend the reuse of the factory-issued packaging.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH K09 Applications 3.2.1 Standard K09 Device The flow meter is suitable for the measurement of the flow of liquid and gaseous products in pipes. It displays the current flow in volume or mass per unit time. Typical applications: Measuring the flow of liquid and gaseous products in pipes as well as dosing, superimposing, monitoring, regulating and the controlling of them.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Operational mode and system design K09 Measurement Principle – Variable area Flowmeter The measuring instrument composes of a float and a conical glass tube (M) A medium flows from the bottom to the top through the measuring ring, lifting the float in the process until the buoyancy force (A) and the weight of the float (G ) establish equilibrium.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Key values Measured variable Volume flow Measuring ranges Measuring ranges (lower-range and upper-range values) Measuring span water 20 °C: Smallest measuring range: 0.02-0.25 l/h water Largest measuring range: 10-100 l/h water Measuring span air 20 °C, 1.013 bar abs.: Smallest measuring range: 2-20 Nl/h air Largest measuring range: 300-3000 Nl/h air Measuring /regulating range for K09-..V / N (Differential pressure regulator)
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Conditions of use The VDI/VDE guidelines must be observed. The devices can be used for: liquid products that are sufficiently free-flowing, are free of solids, do not bond or do not tend to settle. gases with linear flow behaviour and an adequate inlet pressure. V/N (optional differential pressure regulator) The minimum differential inlet and outlet pressures must amount to 350 mbar.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH 6.1.4 Mounting and commissioning When installing and commissioning the flowmeter, the following points must be observed: The variable-area flow meter must be installed perpendicularly (bottom-up direction of flow). Take special care to install glass-tube devices free from strain. The size of the product line to be connected must be identical to the size of the device connection.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH 6.3.2 Fluid pressure limit 16 bar (at 20 °C) Caution! All pressure values refer to non-hazardous liquids and for devices installed free from strain. For V / N, the maximum unilateral pressure resistance of the diaphragm is 7 bar. 6.3.3 Inlet and outlet sections Inlet and outlet sections are not required for a linear flow profile of the fluid.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Construction details Design/dimensions K09 The meter consists of a conical measuring tube made of borosilicate glass, with a vertical movable float made of stainless steel or glass. The measuring tube is mounted vertically in the device fitting, which possesses two process connections, arranged perpendicularly to the measuring tube, on its rear.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH IMPORTANT COMMISSIONING NOTES • The installation of a valve before the inlet and outlet of the instrument shall be avoided • Initial operation / start-up of the process only with opened control valve • When operating with gas the inlet pressure shall be increased slowly to avoid strong pressure peaks.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Electrical connection for limit switch (option) with cable length of 2 m The limit switch (ring form) can be adjusted up and down the measuring tube. It is fixed via two screws (1) at the back wall of the instrument. Contact on measuring Adjusting of the contact:...

Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH Grounding without an add- on terminal case. Grounding with an add- on terminal case. Mechanical strength The device with its glass measuring tube is to be mounted in such a way that it is protected from mechanical damages. 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.
Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH CE marking The measuring system meets the statutory requirements of the following EU directives: • 2014/34/EU (ATEX) Equipment for Use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres • 2014/30/EU (EMC) Electromagnetic Compatibility. With respect to the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU, the devices fall within the scope of application of Article 4, Paragraph 3, and therefore requires no CE marking in accordance with this directive.
