The sensor operates on Faraday's law of induction, measuring flow velocity and volume flow. It is available in compact and remote versions, with different signal converters (IFC 050, IFC 100, IFC 300) offering varying levels of accuracy and diameter ranges. The sensor supports bi-directional flow and is compliant with legal metrology standards such as MID and OIML R49.
Installation
Installation is straightforward with flanged designs and standard ISO insertion lengths. The sensor can be installed without filters or grounding rings, thanks to the "Virtual Reference" option. It is suitable for subsoil installation and constant flooding with the IP68 version.
Electrical Connections
Safety instructions and grounding details are provided, along with connection diagrams for proper installation and operation.
Applications
The OPTIFLUX 2000 is suitable for various industries, including water, wastewater, pulp & paper, and mining. It is used in applications such as water abstraction, purification, distribution, revenue metering, and leakage detection.
Specifications
The OPTIFLUX 2000 flowmeter is available with different liner materials depending on the diameter: polypropylene for DN25...150 and hard rubber for DN200...3000. Optional hard rubber is available for DN25...150. The exterior of the meter can have standard or optional protective coatings, including subsoil and offshore coatings. Connection boxes are available in die-cast aluminum or stainless steel for remote versions.
Measuring Electrodes and Grounding Rings
Standard measuring electrodes are made of Hastelloy® C, with options for stainless steel and titanium.

Measuring Accuracy
Accuracy is validated through wet calibration under reference conditions. The accuracy varies by signal converter type, with the IFC 300 offering the highest precision.
Pressure Derating and Vacuum Load
Pressure derating graphs are provided for different flange materials, and vacuum load capacities are specified for various diameters and temperatures.
Dimensions and Weights
Dimensions and weights are detailed for both remote and compact versions, with specific measurements for different nominal sizes and flange standards.
Technical Specifications
The document provides detailed specifications for the OPTIFLUX 2000 electromagnetic flowmeter, including dimensions and approximate weights for various nominal sizes. It includes tables with measurements in both millimeters and inches, highlighting the importance of exact dimensions upon request.
Installation Guidelines
The flowmeter is designed for measuring electrically conductive liquid media. Key installation considerations include avoiding vibrations and magnetic fields, ensuring proper inlet and outlet lengths, and maintaining a minimum distance between flow sensors. The document emphasizes the importance of correct installation positions to prevent malfunction due to air or gas bubbles.
Installation Conditions
Recommendations are provided for installing the flowmeter in various pipeline configurations, including bends, T-sections, and near control valves or pumps. The document advises on the correct positioning to avoid flow disturbances and cavitation.
Subsurface and Metering Pit Applications
The OPTIFLUX 2000 is suitable for temporary submersion and can be installed underground with optional coatings. It is rated IP68, NEMA 6P, and can withstand a 10-meter water column.
Mounting Instructions
Guidelines for bolt tightening and pressure ratings are provided, emphasizing the use of proper gaskets to prevent damage. Torque values are given for various nominal sizes and pressure ratings.
Electrical Connections
Safety instructions highlight the need for grounding and adherence to national electrical regulations. The document describes different types of grounding rings and the benefits of a virtual reference option, which simplifies installation by omitting grounding rings.
Additional Notes
The document concludes with a brief overview of KROHNE's products and services, including process instrumentation and engineering support.

1.3 Measuring principle An electrically conductive fluid flows inside an electrically insulated pipe through a magnetic field. This magnetic field is generated by a current, flowing through a pair of field coils. Inside of the fluid, a voltage U is generated: U=v*k*B*D in which: v = mean flow velocity k = factor correcting for geometry B = magnetic field strength D = inner diameter of flowmeter The signal voltage U is picked off by electrodes and is proportional to the mean flow velocity v and thus the flow rate Q. A signal converter is used to amplify the signal voltage, filter it and convert...
