4 Global presence
Dear Customers,
Communication techniques are becoming ever more complex, from the field through to the control
level. At the same time the demands for recording physical measured variables such as flow rates,
fill levels, temperature, pressure and analysis parameters are constantly growing. The principal
requirement in this respect is absolute reliability of the measured values. This means the
measuring equipment, even when subjected to disruptive influences such as changing flow profiles
or inclusion of gas bubbles, must always deliver reliable values, and above all must guarantee
virtually 100 % security against failure.
“Measure the facts“ means not only reliable measurement of standard process variables – even
under the most difficult process conditions – but also clear and precise process diagnostics right
through to the material composition of the medium. Both of these contribute to improved process
control and allow remarkable increases in process efficiency and production.
In order to guarantee this for you, more than 400 engineers in the worldwide KROHNE Group are
continuously engaged in research into promising technologies for the future, in pursuit of improved
measurement and further developments. We are a family-owned enterprise and we take our
responsibilities seriously. We have permanent representation in more than 130 countries and
employ more than 3,700 people in order to bring you highly innovative products from a single
source, and tailor-made technical solutions to your measurement requirements, now and in the
future.
Global presence
When you are a global enterprise, you want the people you are dealing with
to have the same kind of reach. KROHNE has 17 production facilities, owns
44 companies and joint ventures and works with 55 exclusive representatives
worldwide. This means you can deal with a contact or a local office wherever
you are.
• Production facilities
• Sales companies or
representatives
Working with people like you gives us a wealth of experience or, as we call it,
application knowledge.
This means we have a good idea where to look if you have a measuring task
that can’t be met by an existing product. We will analyse the problem and
come up with a way forward. Our ability to do this time after time is one of
the very good reasons we are trusted by customers worldwide.

Ceramic durability
EGMTM was developed for the OPTIMASS Coriolis mass flowmeters to over-
come problems caused by air or gas entrainments in a liquid. Powerful
control algorithms maintain measurement, even during a complete transi-
tion from a pure liquid phase to a gas phase and back. Mass flow and density
measurements remain stable and continuous, which has been demonstrated
in batch / loading / empty-full-empty applications.
Total 3D linearisation
Transmitter built-in
The 80 GHz technology used in the OPTIWAVE series is the most recent and
versatile radar technology for level measurement of liquids and solids. Over
an identical distance, it presents a highly focused beam with a smaller dia-
meter compared to lower frequency radars, ideal for dusty atmospheres or
low reflective media. The small dead zone and narrow beam angle allow for
use in both small and tall vessels.
