The new KATflow 180 flow meter represents the pinnacle of our many years of development in the field of ultrasonic technology. It is designed to provide reliable measurements in a variety of applications – from high-pressure gas flow systems to locations where meters for non-invasive installation could not previously be used. Unlike any other similar device, the new meter allows installation in metallic gas piplines subjected to much lower pressure than the previously accepted minimum of 5 bar, with flow measurement possible up to atmospheric conditions.
