KROHNE, a global leader in industrial process instrumentation, has introduced its latest generation of OPTIMASS Coriolis flowmeters, designed to meet the most demanding flow measurement challenges across multiple industries.

The new Coriolis technology provides mass flow accuracy of approximately 0.1%, making it five to ten times more precise than most conventional flow measurement devices. Each meter simultaneously measures mass flow, density, and temperature, enabling comprehensive process insights with a single instrument.

Unlike many other flowmeters, KROHNE’s Coriolis meters can be installed in any orientation without requiring specific flow profiles or extended pipe runs, offering flexibility for complex plant layouts.

A standout feature of the technology is KROHNE’s single straight tube design, which reduces pressure drop, simplifies installation, and provides superior handling for shear-sensitive fluids. This design also makes the flowmeter suitable for applications where bent tube solutions are impractical.

KROHNE’s proprietary Entrained Gas Management (EGM) technology represents a major advancement for flow measurement reliability. The system allows continuous operation during two-phase flow conditions — situations that typically interrupt measurement for most Coriolis meters. While accuracy may temporarily deviate from published specifications, EGM ensures repeatable performance and uninterrupted process control.

The OPTIMASS series serves a wide range of industries, including chemical processing, food and beverage production, and oil and gas operations. It is particularly beneficial for mass-based operations, recipe formulation, blending, and custody transfer applications where precision is critical.

According to KROHNE, the Coriolis flowmeter portfolio includes models suited for both space-constrained environments and high-capacity installations. As industries demand greater accuracy, reliability, and adaptability in flow measurement, KROHNE’s technology continues to set new standards for efficiency and control in process instrumentation.
