OPTISONIC 6300 P
1.1 Portable clamp-on flowmeter
The new OPTISONIC 6300 P flowmeter combines mobile, straightforward and quick liquid
measurement with the proven precision and reliability of KROHNE ultrasonic technology. Simply
attach the sensor unit to the tube and connect the compact evaluation unit - now just read the
results. It is just as easy to use the device for data logging. Data is saved to a USB stick and
transferred to external evaluation systems. Its ease of use and flexibility make the
OPTISONIC 6300 P the ideal solution for flow measurement in a variety of applications in virtually
any sector of industry.

1.2 Variants
The OPTISONIC 6300 P is a battery powered ultrasonic clamp-on flowmeter that can be fitted on
the outside of piping to measure the flow rate of liquids. The OPTISONIC 6300 P is intended for
temporary flow measurement. It consists of a combination of one or two clamp-on sensor(s) and
one handheld electronic signal converter.
The OPTISONIC 6300 P comes as a complete and ready to use flowmeter in a robust case that
can be carried as a trolley.

OPTISONIC 6300 P
I/O connection
For connection of I/O signals like pulse or
current outputs a cable with I/O connection
box is available optionally.
Energy measurement
Standard the OPTISONIC 6300 P is provided
with a measurement option for thermal
energy. This requires the input of 2
temperature measurements in addtion to the
flow measurement.
For temperature measurement an I/O
connection box is available to connect
temperature transmitters. For direct
connection of PT100 sensors, the I/O box can
optionally be fitted with 2 temperature
transmitters. When temporary temperature
measurement is required 2 clamp-on PT100
sensors can be ordered optionally.
Optional thickness gauge
For setting up the flow measurement, the
pipewall thickness must be known. To
measure this, a pipewall thickness gauge can
be ordered with the OPTISONIC 6300 P.

1.3 Measuring principle
• Like canoes crossing a river, acoustic signals are transmitted and received along a diagonal
measuring path.
• A sound wave going downstream with the flow travels faster than a sound wave going
upstream against the flow.
• The difference in transit time is directly proportional to the mean flow velocity of the medium.
