1.2 Features
The solution for the water and wastewater industry
Maintenance free
The OPTIFLUX 2000 is designed to meet the
demands for all water and waste water applications
including groundwater, potable water, waste water,
sludge and sewage, industry water and salt water.
The OPTIFLUX 2000 has a field proven and
unsurpassed lifetime assured by the fully welded
housing, full bore pipe construction, absence of
moving parts and wear resistant liner materials.
Easy installation
Fitting the OPTIFLUX 2000 is easy with the flanged
design and standard ISO insertion lengths. But
alternative lengths are also possible and can be
offered on request. To further ease the operation,
the OPTIFLUX 2000 can be installed without filters
and straighteners. Even grounding rings are not
required with the patented Virtual Reference option
on the IFC 300 converter. Installation in
measurement chambers subject to (constant)
flooding is possible with the IP68 rated version. The
chambers can even be completely surpassed if the
IP68 version is combined with our special subsoil
coating, allowing the OPTIFLUX 2000 to be installed
directly in the ground.
Custody transfer
In combination with the IFC 300 converter the
OPTIFLUX 2000 can be used for custody transfer
applications. It meets the requirements of OIML R49
and can be verified according to Annex MI-001 of the
Measuring Instruments Directive (MID). All water
meters for legal metrology purposes in Europe
require certification under the MID. The EC type
examination certificate for the OPTIFLUX 2300 is
valid for the compact and the remote version and
applies for forward and reverse flow.
All flowmeters are wet calibrated by direct volume
comparison at our officially certified calibration
facilities. The performance of every OPTIFLUX 2000
is defined and documented in a calibration
certificate.
in which:
v = mean flow velocity
k = factor correcting for geometry
B = magnetic field strength
D = inner diameter of flow meter
The signal voltage U is picked off by electrodes and is proportional to the mean flow velocity v
and thus the flow rate q. A signal converter is used to amplify the signal voltage, filter it and
convert it into signals for totalising, recording and output processing.
