Product liability and warranty

The compact BATCHFLUX IFM 5015 K electromagnetic flowmeter is designed exclusively for
measuring the volumetric flowrate of electrically conductive, liquid process products.

The compact flowmeter is not suitable for use in hazardous areas. Other flowmeter series are
available for such applications.

Responsibility as to suitability and intended use of this compact electromagnetic flowmeter rests
solely with the operator.

Improper installation and operation of the flowmeters (systems) may lead to loss of warranty.

In addition, the “General conditions of sale“ forming the basis of the purchase contract are
applicable.

If BATCHFLUX IFM 5015 K flowmeters need to be returned to KROHNE, please note the
information given on the last-but-one page of these instructions. KROHNE regret that they cannot
repair or check your flowmeter(s) unless these are accompanied by the completed form sheet.

Installation and operating instructions 4 BATCHFLUX

Functional description
BATCHFLUX IFM 5015 K

The volume to be filled into the container is
measured “in line“ by means of the
electromagnetic flowmetering system. The
batch controller closes the filling valve once
the preset filling volume has been reached.
It is always the preset target volume that is
filled into the container.

The signal converter converts the measured
flowrate signal into volume pulses that are
intelligible to the batch controller. For a filling
volume of 1000 ml, for example, this could
be 10 pulses per ml; in other words, the
batch controller switches the valve off after
1000 pulses have been received.

The influence of valve closing times and
other dynamic factors can be corrected by
the adaptive corrector of the batch controller.

The use of state-of-the-art microprocessor
electronics and the high-speed analog/digital
converter also enables changes in the
flowrate to be sensed precisely. This
technology ensures high reproducibility and
long-term stability.

Part A System installation and start-up

1 Installation in the pipeline

1.1 Important information

The following recommendations should be observed to ensure proper functioning of the
flowmeter – PLEASE NOTE.

Measuring tube must be completed

•

filled at all times.

Direction of flow: the red arrow on the

•

housing of the primary head must point in
the direction of flow. If for structural
reasons the flowmeter can only be installed
counter to the direction of flow, the direction
of flow measurement can be
reprogrammed.

Stud bolts and nuts: to fit, make sure

•

there is sufficient room next to the pipe
flanges.

Vibration: support the pipeline on both

•

sides of the flowmeter. Vibration level to
IEC 068-2-34: below 2,2g in the
20 - 2000 Hz frequency range.

Radiant heat: avoid e.g. from hot product

•

tanks, insulate if necessary.

Avoid strong electromagnetic fields

•

in vicinity of flowmeter.

Straight Inlet run ≥ 5 x DN and straight

•

outlet run ≥ 2 x DN, measured from the
electrode axis (DN = meter size).

Vortex or corkscrew flow: increase

•

length of inlet and outlet runs or install flow
straighteners.

Mixing different process liquids: install

•

flowmeter upstream of mixing point or at an
adequate distance downstream, minimum
of 30 x DN (DN = meter size), otherwise
display may be unsteady.

Plastic pipes and internally coated metal

•

pipes: grounding rings required, see
“Grounding“, Section 1.3.3.

Heat-insulated pipelines: do not insulate

•

flowmeter.

Zero setting: not required. For checking

•

purpose, see Section. 7.1, it should be
possible to set “zero“ flow velocity in the
completely filled measuring tube. Shutoff
valves should therefore be provided either
downstream or upstream and downstream
of the flowmeter.

Ambient temperature

•

-25°C to +60°C

Process temperature

•

max. 140 °C

Transport and storage temperature

•

-25°C to +60°C

Limits imposed by the material used for the
measuring tube for process temperature,
thermal shock limit, pressure and vacuum, see
Section 10.2 “Limits“.

Please note!

The ceramic measuring tube must not contact
metal parts (flange, pipeline). This can destroy
the flowmeter!

1.2 Suggestions for installation

To avoid measuring errors due to
air inclusion and vacuum, please
observe the following:

Highest point of pipe run

(Air bubbles collect in measuring
tube - faulty measurements!)

Preferred
locations

downpipe

(open discharge)

void draining or partial filling of
the measuring tube. Faulty
measurements.

1

Pumps
Do not install flowmeter on pump suction side

Open feed or discharge
Install meter in low section of pipe

open discharge

Selecting the installation location
Location and position as required, but
electrode axis (X – – – – X
must be approximately horizontal in a
horizontal pipe run.

Horizontal pipe run

Install in slightly descending pipe section to
prevent air from collecting, so avoiding faulty
measurements and that meter can drain.

Control and shutoff valves: always install
behind the flowmeter

x

Direction of flow The red arrow on the
primary head housing must point in the flow
direction.

On high-temperature pipes and

where process temperatures
exceed 100 °C, provide facilities to

compensate for longitudinal
expansion on heat-up of the pipeline.
Use flexible pipe elements (e.g.
elbows).

The compact flowmeter is delivered ready for
operational use. All operating data have been
factory set in accordance with your
specifications.

Power the unit, and the flowmeter will
immediately start process flow measurement.

Please note!

Do not open the housing of the BATCHFLUX IFM 5015 K.

Danger of contamination with substances likely to destroy the moisture barrier of the electronic
equipment (e.g. if CIP or SIP cleaned from the outside).

Therefore, please contact your KROHNE Service engineer before you open the housing.

The measurement status is signalled by the

Furthermore, external facilities (hand-held
communicator HHT 010, PC, etc.) can be
connected on the pc board of the control
electronics via the IMoCom interface. This will
enable precise checking of the correct mode of
operation of the Batchflux IFM 5015 K.

All operating data can be set and stored by
means of a personal computer via the IMoCom
interface. The digital IMoCom interface allows
the complete filling procedure to be graphically
represented on the PC, thus providing
visualization of system and valve properties.

3.2 Factory settings

All operating data are factory-set according to
your order specifications.

To facilitate easy and rapid initial start-up,
pulse output is - unless specified otherwise ­set to process flow measurement in “2 flow
directions“ so that the current flowrate is
displayed and the volumetric flow counted
independent of the direction of flow.

The factory setting for the current and pulse
outputs may occasionally cause measuring
errors, particularly in the case of volume flow
counting. For example, if pumps are switched
off and a “backflow“ occurs that is not within
the range of the low-flow cutoff (SMU), or if
separate displays and counts are required for
both flow directions. To avoid faulty
measurements, therefore, it may be necessary
to change the factory setting of some or all of
the following functions:

5.5 Internal electronic totalizer

The internal electronic totalizer counts in m
regardless of the unit set under Fct. 1.4,
subfunction “DISP.FLOW“.
The counting range is dependent upon the
meter size and has been selected such that
the totalizer will count for a minimum of 1 year
without overflow:

Meter size Counting range

DN mm inches in m3

2,5 - 40 1/10 - 11/2 0 - 999 999.99999999

Only part of the totalizer count is shown in the
display because it is not possible to output a
14-digit number. Unit and format of the display
are freely selectable, see Fct. 1.4, subfunction
“DISP.COUNT“ and Sect. 5.4. This determines
which part of the count is to be displayed.
Display overflow and totalizer overflow are
independent of one another.

11 Block diagram

The IFC 015 signal converter consists of 3
functional groups.

Functional group 1 contains an input
amplifier, and a high-resolution analog/digital
converter (ADC) that is controlled and
monitored by microprocessor µP 1. At the
same time the processor controls functional
groups 2 and 3. The function values of the
device are stored in EEPROM 1 (ECOPROM),
while all internal correction and calibration
values are stored in EEPROM 2.

Functional group 2 generates a pulsed,
electronically controlled direct current for the
field coils of the primary head. This group is
electrically connected to functional group 3.

Block diagram IFC 015

Functional group 3 consists of passive FET

optocouplers to allow control of electronic and
electromechanical totalizers. This group is
electrically separated from the other groups.

12 Measuring principle

Flowmeter for electrically conductive
liquids.

Measurement is based on Faraday’s law
of induction, according to which a voltage
is induced in an electrically conductive
body passing through a magnetic field.

The following expression applies:
U = K × B × v × D

K an instrument constant
B magnetic field strength
v mean velocity
D tube diameter

U

B

v

D

U

Thus, the induced voltage is proportional to the
mean flow velocity, when the field strength is
constant. Inside the electromagnetic flowmeter,
the liquid passes through a magnetic field
applied perpendicular to the direction of flow.

An electric voltage is induced by the movement
of the liquid (which must have a minimum
electrical conductivity), which is proportional to
the mean flow velocity and thus to the volume
of flow.

The induced voltage signal is picked up by two
electrodes that are in conductive contact with
the liquid, and transmitted to a signal converter
for a standardized output signal.
