Safety information
2.1
Intended use
With its measurement channel and stainless-steel housing, the ultrasonic flowmeter is
suitable for measuring tasks in hygienic environments. The compact and rugged design
makes the sensor ideal for a wide range of applications, including those where space
restrictions or aggressive media play a role.
Installation is quick and easy, and does not require medium calibration. The seal-free,
self-draining measuring channel enhances process reliability. The straight shape of the
measuring channel reduces pressure loss, which in turn reduces energy costs.
The DOSIC
®
is EHEDG-certified, and all materials that come into contact with the media
are FDA-compliant.
