Katronic KATflow 230 Portable Dual-Channel Clamp-On Ultrasonic Flow Meter

Overview

The Katronic KATflow 230 is a flexible, dual-channel portable clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter designed for users who require advanced analysis and energy measurement capabilities in a mobile instrument. Covering pipe diameters from 10 mm to 6,500 mm, with standard sensors rated from -30°C to +250°C, the Katronic KATflow 230 combines two independent measurement channels with up to 24 hours of battery life from 8 x NiMH AA batteries, making it a powerful field instrument for complex measurement tasks and calibration verification work.

With fast quotation turnaround and technical support, Seven Star LLC supplies the Katronic KATflow 230 to process engineers, commissioning teams, and energy auditors across Muscat, Sohar, and Salalah who need portable dual-channel flow and thermal energy measurement for temporary installations, calibration checks, and diagnostic surveys. Regional engineering teams benefit from genuine Katronic hardware, full documentation, and responsive local technical support backed by Seven Star LLC’s instrumentation division.

Measurement Principle

Like the rest of the Katronic KATflow range, the KATflow 230 uses clamp-on ultrasonic transit-time technology, calculating fluid velocity from the difference in transit time between ultrasonic pulses travelling with and against the flow. Its defining feature is a pair of independent measurement channels, which allow simultaneous monitoring of two separate pipelines or, alternatively, improved measurement accuracy on a single pipe operated in two-path mode under unfavourable flow conditions such as short straight-pipe runs or partially obstructed flow profiles. The device also supports thermal energy measurement in combination with Pt 100 or Pt 1000 temperature sensors, calculating heat quantity from the ultrasonic flow signal and the temperature differential between supply and return lines.

Because the KATflow 230 is fully portable, it is frequently deployed as a temporary or verification instrument, for example as a like-for-like replacement unit while a permanently installed flow meter is removed for calibration, or to independently confirm the readings of a fixed meter suspected of drifting. Its dual-channel capability also allows a single technician to compare two points in a system, such as supply and return legs of a cooling loop, in a single site visit rather than requiring two separate survey trips.

Engineering Design of the Katronic KATflow 230

The Katronic KATflow 230 is housed in an IP65 aluminium enclosure paired with high-quality IP66 stainless steel sensors, giving the instrument the durability needed for repeated field deployment across varied site conditions. Process connectivity is extensive for a portable instrument, including power output, open-collector, and relay contact options that are variably expandable, making the KATflow 230 a flexible solution for temporary installations and changing operating requirements where a range of downstream systems may need to receive its output.

Power is supplied by 8 x NiMH AA batteries, delivering up to 24 hours of continuous measurement-mode operation to support full-day site surveys and multi-point diagnostic work. The integrated Pt 100/Pt 1000 inputs extend the KATflow 230’s capability beyond simple volumetric flow into combined flow and thermal energy analysis, useful for auditing district cooling or heating performance without needing separate instrumentation. The two independent channels, extensive interface options, and long battery life together make the KATflow 230 the most capable portable instrument in the Katronic KATflow range for demanding diagnostic and verification work.

Key Features

The Katronic KATflow 230 combines dual-channel measurement with genuine portability, and its feature set is aimed squarely at demanding field diagnostic work.

• Two independent measurement channels for simultaneous dual-pipe monitoring or improved single-pipe accuracy in two-path mode.
• Wide pipe diameter coverage from 10 mm to 6,500 mm with standard sensors rated -30°C to +250°C.
• Combined flow and thermal energy measurement using integrated Pt 100/Pt 1000 temperature inputs.
• Up to 24 hours of battery life in measurement mode with 8 x NiMH AA batteries for full-day surveys.
• Durable IP65 aluminium housing with high-quality IP66 stainless steel sensors.
• Extensive, variably expandable process outputs including power, open-collector, and relay contact.
• Practical as a temporary replacement unit during calibration of permanently installed flow meters.
• Suited to comparative dual-point measurement, such as supply and return legs of a cooling loop, in a single visit.

Industrial Applications

The Katronic KATflow 230 is widely used by process engineers, commissioning teams, and energy auditors who need advanced portable flow and thermal energy measurement rather than a simple single-channel spot check. Typical duty includes temporary flow monitoring during planned maintenance or calibration cycles, energy performance audits of district cooling and heating loops, dual-point comparative measurements across supply and return lines, and verification surveys where a permanently installed meter’s readings are in question. Its portability combined with dual-channel and thermal energy capability makes it particularly valuable for facilities that cannot justify a second permanent meter but still need occasional advanced diagnostic measurement.

With engineering support in Muscat, Seven Star LLC distributes the Katronic KATflow 230 throughout the Sultanate of Oman and the broader GCC, supporting process engineers, commissioning contractors, and energy auditors across the Sohar and Salalah industrial zones with advanced portable flow and thermal energy measurement. Regional teams sourcing a capable diagnostic instrument benefit from Katronic documentation and direct technical support from Seven Star LLC’s instrumentation division.
