 OPTIFLUX 4000 PRODUCT FEATURES 1

1.1 The all-round solution for process industries

The OPTIFLUX 4000 design meets the demands of a very wide range of applications in industries
including the chemical, pulp & paper, water and wastewater, minerals and mining, iron, steel
and metals, pharmaceuticals and oil & gas industry.

The OPTIFLUX 4000 has a field proven and unsurpassed lifetime. This is assured by the fully
welded construction, full bore pipe construction, absence of moving parts and wear resistant
liner materials. Even for demanding applications in harsh environments or with aggressive and
abrasive media KROHNEs OPTIFLUX 4000 can offer a solution.

Examples include water injection under high pressures (2500 lbs), sub-sea installations, slurries
with very high solids contents, alkaline solutions and acids, up to chemical dosing, bleaching,
colouring, and black liquor in the paper industry. If required, a solution beyond our standard
scope can be engineered. KROHNE has in-house specialized know-how on constructions,
welding and exotic materials.

For custody transfer applications, OPTIFLUX 4000 has a wide range of certifications including
OIML R49 & R117, MI-001, MI-004 & MI-005.

1.2 Options
The solution for any industry

From standard to customized

For easy ordering the standard range of the
OPTIFLUX 4000 covers all popular sizes, materials
and coatings. Process connections are available in
EN (up to PN40), ASME (up to 2500 lbs), and JIS
(20K).
But KROHNE does not stop here. Our extensive
engineering department is dedicated to provide
solutions for all specifications not covered by our
standard range. Requests for special sizes, flange
connections, pressure ratings, building lengths, and
materials, will always get a serious review.
Whenever possible we will engineer a flow meter
that fits your application.

Easy installation
Fitting the OPTIFLUX 4000 is easy with the flanged
design and standard ISO insertion lengths. To
further ease the operation, the OPTIFLUX 4000 can
be installed without filters and straighteners. Even
grounding rings are not required with the patented
"Virtual Reference" option on the IFC 300 converter.

IP68
Installation in measurement chambers subject to
(constant) flooding is possible with the IP68 rated
version. The chambers can even be completely
surpassed if the IP68 version is combined with our
special subsoil coating, allowing the OPTIFLUX 4000
to be installed directly in the ground.

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 it into signals for totalizing, recording and output processing.

2.2.1 OIML R49

The OPTIFLUX 4300 has a certificate of conformity with the international recommendation
OIML R49 (edition 2006). The certificate has been issued by NMi (Dutch board of weight and
measures).
The OIML R49 recommendation (2006) concerns water meters intended for the metering of cold
potable and hot water. The measuring range of the flowmeter is determined by Q3
(nominal flow rate) and R (ratio).

The OPTIFLUX 4300 meets the requirements for water meters of accuracy class 1 and 2.

2.2.2 MID Annex III (MI-001)

All new designs of flow meters that are to be used for legal purposes in Europe require
certification under the Measurement Instrument Directive (MID) 2014/32/EU Annex III (MI-001).
Annex MI-001 of the MID applies to water meters intended for the measurement of volume of
clean, cold or heated water in residential, commercial and light industrial use. An EC-type
examination certificate is valid in all countries of the European Union.

The OPTIFLUX 4300 has an EC-type examination certificate and can be verified to the MID Annex
III (MI-001) for water meters with diameter DN25...DN1800. The conformity assessment
procedure followed for OPTIFLUX 4300 is Module B (Type Examination) and Module D (Quality
Assurance of the Production Process).

The maximim permissible error on volumes delivered between Q2 (transitional) flow rate and Q4
(overload) flow rate is 2%.
The maximum permissible error on volumes delivered between Q1 (minimum) flow rate and Q2
(transitional) flow rate is 5%.

2.3 Measurement accuracy

KROHNE calibrates every electromagnetic flowmeter by direct volume comparison. The wet
calibration validates the performance of the flowmeter under reference conditions against
accuracy limits. The accuracy limits of electromagnetic flowmeters are typically the result of the
combined effect of linearity, zero point stability and calibration uncertainty.

Reference conditions

Temperature: +5...+35C / +41...+95F
Operating pressure: 0.1...5 barg / 1.5...72.5 psig

3.1 Intended use

Responsibility for the use of the measuring devices with regard to suitability, intended use and
corrosion resistance of the used materials against the measured fluid lies solely with the
operator.

The manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from improper use or use for other than
the intended purpose.

The measurement of volumetric flowrate of electrically conductive fluids. Basic measurement is

the flow velocity upon which all other measurements are based.

3.2 General notes on installation

Inspect the packaging carefully for damages or signs of rough handling. Report damage to the
carrier and to the local office of the manufacturer.

Do a check of the packing list to make sure that you have all the elements given in the order.

Look at the device nameplate to ensure that the device is delivered according to your order.
Check for the correct supply voltage printed on the nameplate.

Figure 3-15: Tightening of bolts

Tightening of bolts
Always tighten the bolts uniformly and in diagonally opposite sequence.
Do not exceed the maximum torque value.
Step 1: Apply approx. 50% of max. torque given in table.
Step 2: Apply approx. 80% of max. torque given in table.
Step 3: Apply 100% of max. torque given in table.

4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS OPTIFLUX 4000

4.1 Safety instructions

All work on the electrical connections may only be carried out with the power disconnected. Take
note of the voltage data on the nameplate!

Observe the national regulations for electrical installations!

Observe without fail the local occupational health and safety regulations. Any work done on the
electrical components of the measuring device may only be carried out by properly trained
specialists.

Look at the device nameplate to ensure that the device is delivered according to your order.
Check for the correct supply voltage printed on the nameplate.

4.2 Grounding
The device must be grounded in accordance with regulations in order to protect personnel
against electric shocks.

Figure 4-1: Grounding

Figure 4-2: Different types of grounding rings

1 Grounding ring number 1
2 Grounding ring number 2
3 Grounding ring number 3

Grounding ring number 1:

thickness : 3 mm / 0.1" (tantalum: 0.5 mm / 0.02")

Grounding ring number 2:

thickness : 3 mm / 0.1"
Prevents damage to the flanges during transport and installation
Especially for flow sensors with PTFE liner

Grounding ring number 3:

thickness : 3 mm / 0.1"
With cylindrical neck (length 30 mm / 1.25" for DN10...150 / 3/8...6")
Offers liner protection against abrasive fluids
