Highlights of the KROHNE devices GDC concept: An electronics concept from which everybody benefits MFC 400 for mass flowmeters UFC 400 for ultrasonic flowmeters User-friendliness is traditionally a top priority at KROHNE: whether during installation, commissioning, operation or communication – high-end technology only makes sense if it is simple and convenient for the customer to use. That is why at KROHNE, user-friendliness begins with the electronics. Our development and application engineers have worked for years to develop a comprehensive design known as the General Device Concept – GDC...

Human Machine Interface (HMI): Simply clever, simply well thought-out User-friendliness begins with selecting the right display and control elements. All devices feature a large, high-contrast display which makes it possible to display plain text information as well as graphic information such as the trend development of the flow. Operation is simple and convenient thanks to a user-friendly interface with four optical buttons. Not only does it look good – it’s also extremely practical. For example, the glass cover which protects the display from dirt and dust does not have to be removed...

Electromagnetic flowmeters Electromagnetic flowmeters Highlights: As early as 1832, Michael Faraday tried to determine the speed of the current in the Thames by measuring the voltage induced in flowing water by the earth’s magnetic field. Electromagnetic flow measurement is based on Faraday’s law of induction. According to this law, a voltage is induced when an electric conductive fluid flows through the magnetic field of an electromagnetic flowmeter. This voltage is proportional to the flow velocity of the medium. •• All KROHNE EMF are wet-calibrated in a direct comparison of volumes ••...
