1.1 Solution with high-tech ceramics
The OPTIFLUX 5000
OPTIFLUX 5000 is one of the most accurate flowmeters available in the market today. This is
OPTIFLUX 5000OPTIFLUX 5000
the result of a special tube design with conical parts, optimizing the flow profile. Leading
metrological institutes use the OPTIFLUX 5000
high-end signal converter IFC 300.

1.2 Options and variants
PRODUCT FEATURES 1
The OPTIFLUX 5000 is available in a
diameter range of DN2.5 up to DN100
and is configurable with the IFC 100 and
the IFC 300 signal converter. It is also
optionally suitable in hazardous areas.
Grounding rings are available in high
grade alloy's. The installation of the
OPTIFLUX 5000 SW can be further
eased by choosing for the virtual
reference. Grounding rings can then be
omitted. This can only combined with
the IFC 300 signal converter.

1.3 Measuring principle
An electrically conductive fluid flows inside an electrically insulated pipe through a magnetic
field. This magnetic field is generated by a current, flowing through a pair of field coils. Inside of
the fluid, a voltage U is generated:
U = v * k * B * D
U = v * k * B * D
U = v * k * B * DU = v * k * B * D
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.
