KDA Doppler Pipe Sensor
KDA flow velocity sensors are suitable for continuous measurement of slight to heavily polluted media. The pipe sensors are designed for installation in pipes from the outside using a nozzle.
Combined with transmitter types such as PCM F and without OCM F the result is a complete flow measurement system.
Technical Instruction
Measure. Monitor. Repeat.
For better insights, better decision-making and better process performance.
Key Features & Benefits
