DK 32/34/37 Variable Area Flowmeter
Brand: Krohne
The solid metal DK flowmeters are suitable for measuring liquids and gases. Because of their robust design the flowmeters are particularly suited for difficult operating and environmental conditions.
The extremely compact design and the elimination of inlet and outlet sections allows for simple and cost-effective integration into measuring systems such as process analytics systems.
Variable Area Flowmeters
- Local measurement, setting and monitoring of very low flow rates
- Compact design, no inlet and outlet sections
- High resistance to pressure and temperature
Industries
- Chemical
- Petrochemical
