On-site verification tool for Krohne electromagnetic flowmeters

Technews Industry Guide - Maintenance, Reliability & Asset Optimisation 2016 Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration

The Opticheck is the essential tool for making sure that installed flowmeters are performing to specification. When users connect the tool in-line on site, it gathers measuring data to ensure that the flowmeter is performing within 1% of the factory calibration. The baseline can be historic repair data from the factory or on-site test results after performing a full verification.

Trustworthy meter readings

The Opticheck fulfills third-party requirements for the independent verification of Krohne electromagnetic flowmeters. For rapid troubleshooting, a quick scan based on the powerful diagnostic features of Krohne converters may suffice. In addition to that, a full verification performs a complete check of the magnetic circuit, all I/Os and electrode integrity.

Schedule preventive maintenance

By using Opticheck regularly, users will extend the time between costly re-calibration. This will ensure less downtime and increase safety for operators and plant.

Certified verifications in accordance with international standards, improve the overall quality standard of the plant. An annual recalibration service keeps the Opticheck compliant with national and international standards. Other features include:

• Verification of the entire range of Optiflux and Waterflux flowmeters and IFC converters.

• Hard copy verification report for every flowmeter.

• Digital storage of verification data in the internal database of the industrial tablet.

• Option to download original factory calibration settings from the Krohne manufacturing database.

• Online technical support.

• Scheduling on-site service visits.
