System description
AQUAFLUX electromagnetic flowmeters are precision measuring instruments designed for the
linear flow measurement of process liquids.
The process liquids must be electrically conductive: ≥ 20 µS/cm for demineralized cold water
The full-scale range Q

can be set as a function of the meter size:

This is equivalent to a flow velocity of 0.3 - 12 m/s, or 1 - 40 ft/s.
Product liability and warranty
AQUAFLUX electromagnetic flowmeters are designed solely for measuring the volumetric flowrate
of electrically conductive, liquid process products.
Flowmeters with AQUAFLUX primary heads are not certified for use in hazardous locations. Other
flowmeters series are available for such applications.
Responsibility as to suitability and intended use of these electromagnetic flowmeters rests solely
with the operator.
Improper installation and operation of the flowmeters (systems) may lead to loss of warranty.
In addition, the ”General conditions of sale” forming the basis of the purchase contract are
applicable.
If AQUAFLUX flowmeters need to be returned to Krohne, please note the information given on the
last-but-one page of this manual. Krohne regret that they cannot repair or check your flowmeter(s)
unless accompanied by the completed form sheet.
