This electromagnetic flowmeter expands measurement options
To achieve the goal of developing a modular electronic control solution with maximum flexibility that is equally suitable for all applications and media without compromising on precision or material resistance, this company has introduced the MIK electromagnetic flowmeter (photo) using the new U-PACE compact electronics. This set of electronics takes over the flow display and dosing simultaneously, instead of having to use separate evaluating electronic devices. To ensure the flexibility of the new development, a chemically resistant flowmeter and precise flow monitor have been combined in one device and optimized for a wide range of applications. This makes the MIK suitable for almost all applications such as flow measurement, flow control, filling and quantity recording, for example in the food, chemical and paper industries, as well as for aggressive fluids found in the construction industry. The measuring ranges are generously designed from 0.01 to 700 L/min and are suitable for all requirements. The MIK is insensitive to changes in viscosity, density, temperature or pressure and generates negligible pressure loss. At the same time, the instruments are resistant to corrosive acids and alkalis thanks to optional material combinations. The U-PACE electronics use the proven IO-Link technology, a standardized and real-time capable communication standard for connecting sensors and actuators to an intelligent automation system. This makes it possible to connect the measurement technology to almost all common processes and system concepts and, with its short response times, represents real added value. — KOBOLD Messring GmbH, Hofheim am Taunus, Germany
