Increased safety through the use of high-performance ceramics in flange design
The converter is not the only deciding factor in the reproducibility of the measured value during electromagnetic flow measurement. The form stability of the measuring tube under temperature and pressure stresses also plays an important role. To obtain a reliable measurement even with critical media, the measuring tube material, the electrode construction and the process connection must all be taken into account.
The challenge: The new measuring tube material should be highly resistant to caustic, corrosive and abrasive media and show off its superiority to conventional liners made of plastic such as PFA.
KROHNE accepted this challenge and, in close cooperation with FRIATEC AG from Mannheim, Germany, developed a high-performance ceramics for industrial use which can even withstand rapid temperature changes and high mechanical stresses.
When it comes to measuring critical media such as those used in chlorine chemistry, it was also necessary to optimise the electrode construction. The result of these efforts? Using the so-called Cermet electrode has made it possible to develop a 100 % gap-free design. In doing so, the metal of the electrode combines with the material of the ceramic to form an insoluble compound when exposed to high temperatures.
In addition to the sandwiched version, our engineers also developed a flanged version. This version not only guarantees easy installation but also minimises the risk of leakage in case of a fire.
It is no wonder that the fields of application of the ceramic electromagnetic flowmeter are so numerous today. They range from measuring acids and alkalis in chemistry to usage in chlorine chemistry, to the volumetric filling of liquids in the beverage, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries.
