Product liability and warranty
The flowmeter is suitable for measuring the volume flow of liquids.
Special regulations apply for use in explosion-hazardous areas. (Refer to the section on the scope of delivery.)
Responsibility for the suitability and usage to the intended purpose of these flowmeters rests solely with the operator.
Improper installation or improper operation of the flowmeters may lead to the loss of warranty. In addition, the "General
conditions of sale" which form the basis of the purchase contract are applicable.
The calculation of the pressurized parts is effected with allowance for corrosion, erosion through abrasion or cavitation.
If the flowmeter needs to be returned to KROHNE Messtechnik, please note the information at the end of these
installation and operating instructions.

1.4 Functional principle
A half-round plate, or flap, is fastened across the
direction of flow to a springmounted rotating spindle
in a ring that is inserted between flanges in a pipeline.
As the flow rate increases, the flap rotates counter
to the restoring force F of the spring in the direction
of flow.
The ensuing angle of rotation, depending on the
volume rate of flow, is transmitted via a magnetic
coupling to the indicator part.

2 Installation and Start-up
2.1 Prerequisite for the installation
The operating pressure of the plant may not exceed the value indicated on the rating plate.
Ensure that the parts coming into contact with the medium are compatible with the material.
The ambient and medium temperatures may not exceed certain maximum values.
In order to prevent distortions the connecting flanges have to face each other axially and in parallel.
2.3 Preparation of the pipeline
Generally comply with the maximum pressure and maximum temperature levels allowable
for the SDA at the measuring point in your plant. The direction of flow must be the same as that
indicated by the flow arrow on the device.
Drain the pipelines before installing the device.
Use gaskets made of rubber or SIL; for plastics devices, use only gaskets made of rubber with
a Shore hardness A of approx. 65°.
The gaskets should not project into the pipeline and the flow meter must be in line with the pipe
axis, otherwise measurements would be falsified and/or the device could jam.
Incorporating the indicator part in the equipotential bonding system in the hazardous area:
The indicator part must be earthed. This can be done e.g. using a wire jumper between the
flange on the indicator part and a pipe flange on the main pipeline with cable lugs appropriate
for the bolted connection (not included with the flow meter!).
Incorporating the indicator in the lightning protection system (if necessary). The Operator is
responsible for checking and determining the scope!
2.4 Observance of the IP degree (NEMA Ty pe) of protection
The following instructions are to be observed in order to observe the IP degree (Nema Type) of electrical built-
in parts:
● After the connecting cable has been introduced, tighten the outlet nut.
● All the cable glands which are not used remain closed with blanking plugs.
● Do not kink lines directly at the cable gland.
● Provide a drain bend
● The feed lines may not be subjected to mechanical strains. Refer to the description of the electrical supplementary components for this device.
Cable glands / screwed glands:
Thread Material Line diameter Degree of protectRemark
M 16x1.5 PA 5 - 10 mm IP 68 - 5 bars Standard
M 20x1.5 PA 8 - 13 mm IP 68 - 5 bars
M 16x1.5 Nickel-plated bras
M 20x1,5 Nickel-plated bras
5 - 9 mm IP 68 - 5 bars
10 - 14 mm IP 68 - 10 ba
* Degree of protection is limited here to the cable screwed gland
