6″ OPTIFLUX 4100 Body by KROHNE

The OPTIFLUX 4100 is an electromagnetic flowmeter (EMF) for a wide range of standard process applications with aggressive and abrasive liquids. It enables reliable flow measurement even under harsh process conditions with temperatures up to +180°C / +356°F, low conductivity (≥5 µS/cm) and solid content (up to 10%). This makes the flowmeter particularly suitable for applications involving corrosive chemicals, sewage and drilling mud or mining sludge. Installation in measurement chambers subject to (constant) flooding is also possible using the optional IP68 / NEMA 6P rated version.

Unlike the basic version OPTIFLUX 4050, the OPTIFLUX 4100 features higher accuracy. It comes with a selection of chemically resistant liners and electrodes. Due to its full bore design without moving or intruding parts, there is no pressure loss and no maintenance required. A full on-site verification of the flowmeter without process interruption can be carried out using the OPTICHECK service tool.

The IFC 100 is a 4-wire electromagnetic signal converter. Combined with the flow sensors of the OPTIFLUX and WATERFLUX series it forms the OPTIFLUX 1100, OPTIFLUX 2100, OPTIFLUX 4100, OPTIFLUX 5100, OPTIFLUX 6100 and WATERFLUX 3100 electromagnetic flowmeters for standard applications with conductive liquids.

Description

The KROHNE OPTIFLUX 4100 Flowmeter is an electromagnetic flowmeter designed for measuring the flow of electrically conductive liquids in various industrial applications. This flowmeter is part of KROHNE’s range of advanced process instrumentation and is particularly known for its reliability and high performance. Here’s an overview of the key components and uses:

Key Features:

  1. Electromagnetic Measurement Principle: The OPTIFLUX 4100 uses Faraday’s Law of electromagnetic induction to measure the velocity of a liquid passing through a pipeline. The induced voltage created as the liquid flows through the magnetic field is proportional to its speed and, consequently, its flow rate.
  2. Robust Design: The flowmeter is designed to be durable and suitable for challenging industrial environments, including processes with slurries, chemicals, and dirty water. Its sturdy construction often includes corrosion-resistant liners and electrodes.
  3. Accuracy and Performance: The OPTIFLUX 4100 is known for precise and repeatable measurements, making it a reliable choice for industries that need consistent flow data.
  4. Wide Range of Applications: It can be used in water and wastewater treatment, chemical processing, food and beverage production, and other applications that require accurate liquid flow measurement.

Electromagnetic Flow Converter:

The electromagnetic flow converter is a key part of the system, responsible for processing the signals generated by the flowmeter’s sensors. It converts the voltage induced in the measuring tube into a readable flow measurement. This converter typically includes:

  • Digital Processing Capabilities: Ensures accurate signal processing and reduces noise for stable output.
  • User Interface: May come with an onboard display for direct reading of flow data and easy parameter configuration.
  • Communication Options: Modern converters often support various industrial communication protocols such as HART, PROFIBUS, or Modbus, allowing for integration with broader process control systems.

Cable:

The cable included with the OPTIFLUX 4100 system connects the flowmeter’s sensor unit to the flow converter. This cable is designed to ensure high signal integrity and reduce electromagnetic interference, which is crucial for accurate readings.

Typical Uses:

  • Industrial Processing: Where consistent and precise liquid flow measurement is needed.
  • Water Management: In both clean and wastewater facilities.
  • Chemical Industry: For safe handling and measurement of various chemical solutions.
  • Food and Beverage: To maintain stringent quality control standards.

Overall, the KROHNE OPTIFLUX 4100 with its electromagnetic flow converter and cable is a highly reliable solution for measuring the flow of liquids in a range of industrial applications where precision, durability, and ease of integration are paramount.
