ATEX approved flowmeter
August 2011
Flow Measurement & Control
Flexim has introduced its new Fluxus F608 and G608 portable gas and liquid flowmeters for use in hazardous areas. They are based on the widely used, reliable and versatile F601 and G601, but have been specifically engineered for use within hazardous areas and are covered by ATEX certification (EX II 3G). Thus users are not obliged to obtain a Hot Work permit. The extremely resistant carbon fibre housing and rugged transducer design ensure high impact protection as well as resistance against oil, water and many other liquids. The F608 and G608 share the same efficient battery management as the F/G601, and the system can be fully set up in less than five minutes due to the intuitive user guidance and automatic transducer recognition.
The application range extends from pipes as small as 10 mm up to 6500 mm inner diameter and the temperature range is from -40 to 200°C. Being equipped with two flow channels and multiple in- and outputs, the flowmeter is designed for direct use in demanding environments.
As with all Flexim flowmeters, the F608 and G608 offer precise, bidirectional measurement at fast and slow flow rates over a wide dynamic measurement range, and they are not prone to temperature and zero drift.
