System description 

 

ALTOFLUX electromagnetic flowmeters are precision measuring instruments designed for the 
linear flow measurement of process liquids. 

 

The process liquids must be electrically conductive:

This is equivalent to a flow velocity of 0.3 - 12 m/s, or 1 – 40 ft/s. 

 

 

Product liability and warranty 

 

ALTOFLUX electromagnetic flowmeters are designed solely for measuring the volumetric 
flowrate of electrically conductive, liquid process products. 

 

Flowmeters with ALTOFLUX 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 ALTOFLUX 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.
