KATflow 170
The KATflow 170 flowmeter is designed around a choice of explosion-proof housings available in either offshore industry compliant epoxy-coated copper-free aluminium, or stainless steel. The instrument is extremely easy to use and is programmed with a magnetic pen and a glass-fronted keypad for increased safety. The robustness and reliability of the KATflow 170 is further enhanced by its encapsulated IP 68 transducers which are manufactured from stainless steel and have a sturdy cable conduit.
For applications where harsh environmental conditions demand a more rugged instrument, the KATflow 170 provides a corrosion-resistant option as part of a fully ex-certified package. The flowmeter is intended for permanent operation in Zone 1 and 2 hazardous areas and is an economical choice for a variety of metering applications. The KATflow 170 demonstrates that even the most complex technical requirements can be met with straightforward solutions.
This explosion-proof clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter is purpose-built for hazardous industrial environments, offering non-intrusive flow measurement without pipe penetration or process interruption. Its rugged aluminum or stainless steel housing resists corrosion, vibration, and extreme temperatures, while advanced signal processing ensures stable, accurate readings—even on challenging pipe materials or under variable flow conditions. Certified for use in explosive atmospheres (e.g., ATEX, IECEx), it delivers long-term reliability with minimal maintenance, making it ideal for oil & gas, chemical, and power generation applications.”
