WaterFLUX 3070 Electromagnetic Flowmeter

Brand: Krohne
The KROHNE IFC 070 is a battery powered electromagnetic signal converter designed for use in combination with the WATERFLUX 3000 sensor.

It is ideal for remote locations in the water industry where no power connection is available and provides certainty in case of power failure.

The strengths of the WATERFLUX 3070 lies in its unique flow sensor construction with a rectangular and reduced cross section and its efficient coil construction. The coils provide a stronger and more homogeneous magnetic field, leading to an improved signal to noise ratio.

The measurement is therefore independent of the flow profile and measurements are very stable. This results in a very good low flow performance.

Because of the unique WATERFLUX flow sensor design, whereby the mean flow velocity and flow profile are optimized within the rectangular and reduced cross section, the additional uncertainty for upstream disturbances is drastically reduced.

The water meter can be installed directly behind an elbow or reducer in the pipe without straight inlet or outlet lengths. A substantial reduction of inlet and outlet sections means smaller measurement pits.
Features
  • Bi-directional flow measurement over a wide dynamic range
  • Unique rectangular sensor design for good low flow performance
  • Available with patented reference electrode: no grounding rings needed
  • High accuracy at peak flows during the day and at low flows during the night
  • Rilsan® coated sensor tube
  • Meets potable water standards: ACS, DVGW, NSF, TZW, WRAS etc.
  • Suitable for immersion in flooded chambers
  • Battery-powered for remote locations or mains powered with battery backup
  • FlexPower option for power connection to electrical grid, solar panel or windmill
  • Unique low power Modbus option for battery-powered version
  • With CT approval for heat meter applications (MID MI-004)
  • Compact or field mounted version
  • On-site verification of flowmeter with OPTICHECK service tool
