Burkert Type 8098 FLOWave SAW Flowmeter

The Burkert Type 8098 FLOWave SAW Flowmeter uses the SAW (Surface Acoustic Waves) technology and is mainly designed for applications with the highest hygienic demands. This flowmeter is ideal for liquids with low or no conductivity and is available in Clamp Ends in sizes 3/4" to 2" & DN15 to DN50 with an internal finish choice of Ra ≤ 0.8µm or Ra ≤ 0.4µm.

FLOWave offers a range of integrated functions, including flexibility advantages, ease of cleaning, compact dimensions, light weight, easy installation and handling. By using suitable stainless steel materials, a measuring pipe free of any wetted parts except for the actual pipe and the ideal outer hygienic design makes this suitable for hygienic applications and is compliant with numerous standards including EHEDG, 3A and FDA.

Optimal measurement results can be achieved with homogeneous, air and solid free liquids. Integrated viscosity compensation can be used for higher viscous liquids. Gas and steam cannot be measured; however, their flow does not have any negative effect on the device or its operation. Other liquids flowing through again afterwards are measured correctly as before. Special functions derived from further process values (density factor, acoustic transmission factor) offer additional information about the particular liquid in use (for details, see data sheet ).
