The Type 8098 flowmeter is part of the FLOWave product range. It is based on SAW
Surface Acoustic Waves) technology and is mainly designed for applications with
the highest hygienic demands. This is achieved by using suitable stainless steel
materials, a measuring tube completely free of any internal parts and an ideal outer
hygienic design.
FLOWave offers a range of integrated functions including the advantages of flexibility,
ease of cleaning, compact dimensions, lightweight, easy installation and
handling, and is compliant with numerous standards.
Optimal measurement results can be achieved with homogeneous liquids, free of
air and solid particles. For liquids with high viscosity, an integrated viscosity compensation
can be activated. Gas and steam cannot be measured; however, their
flow does not have any negative effect on the device or its operation and other
liquids flowing through afterwards are measured correctly as before.
Beside volume flow, a density measurement optional feature is available. With this
option, the mass flow is calculated based on volume flow and density measurements.
Special functions derived from further process values (differentiation factor (DF),
acoustic transmission factor) offer additional information about the particular liquid
in use (for details, see chapter “7.2. Special functions” on page 29).
