Whether in the pharmaceutical industry, water treatment, or food production; ultrasonic flow meters like the DUK offer an ideal solution for non-conductive media that cannot be processed by magnetic flow technology. The maintenance-free DUK with the new C3T0 electronics from KOBOLD Messring GmbH provides extensive capabilities for on-site programming and is now suitable for even more media types and application areas.
The DUK operates via the ultrasonic principle of transit time difference and was previously only for water and water-like media. By incorporating additional intelligent electronics with customized parameters, the DUK is now compatible for most homogeneous and Newtonian media under 68 cSt. It provides a solution comparable to magnetic flow meters but can handle non-conductive liquids, unlike magnetic flow meters. Examples include demineralized water, water-glycol mixtures, oils, and aliphatic hydrocarbons such as ethanol.

Valuable Customer Participation
“During the conception phase, we used the experiences from customers in various industries as a basis for developing a flexible and reliable universal device specifically for non-conductive media. With the new C3T0 electronic option, the DUK is now a measuring device for almost any project,” sums up Agha. “They can be used for different media in the future via an easy file upload.”
Full Process Capabilities and Other Special Features Come Standard
The DUK is designed for smaller pipe sizes and covers a large measuring range by delivering an exceptional turndown ratio of 250:1.
“The DUK has two individually configurable outputs, which can function as a pulse, alarm, or analog output” explains Agha. “This makes them easier to integrate into different processes or auxiliary circuits and with their short response times, they offer real added value.”
The colored multi-line display can also be rotated in 90° increments, so there is no need for a different model when changing locations as the display is independent of the position of the connections. The DUK’s display offers a better overview than comparable devices and shows the corresponding unit or other additional information next to the measured value.
