Katflow 150 2 introduction 2 introduction the katflow 150 is an ultrasonic flowmeter employing clamp-on sensors for the measurement of liquids in full, enclosed pipes. Flow measurements can be under- taken without interruption of the process or interference with the integrity of the pipeline. The cl...
