KOBOLD INSTRUMENTATION – PRODUCT
DEVELOPMENTS FOR WATER AND
WATER BASED LIQUIDS
For 2019 the KOBOLD Group continues
a program of pragmatic instrument
development with enhanced editions of
the class leading MIM electromagnetic
flow meter, introduced earlier in 2018, now
featuring connection sizes from ½” to 2”, and
a remote version for process temperatures up
to 130°C.
New for 2019 is model MIS, a full bore
electromagnetic flowmeter featuring the
unique and versatile electronics module
from the popular MIM instrument, allowing
for all flow directions due to the indexing
programmable digital TFT display screen. As
with its instrument parent, model EPS/DMH,
the cast steel bodies will be available with a
choice of hard rubber, soft rubber, PTFE/PFA,
EPDM, and ceramic liners. Also for 2019, both
the MIM and the MIS instruments now feature
IO-Link, a useful and increasingly requested
feature, especially for Industry 4.0 compliance.
Standard analogue, frequency, and pulse
outputs are standard as well as alarm, dosing,
and totalising features. The MIM however
remains unique with the inclusion of a built-in
Pt1000 sensor.
With elements borrowed from the MIM
and EPS/DMH models, the new MIS model
is clearly a very competent full bore
electromagnetic flowmeter, suitable for a
wide range of standard applications, and
price competitive too. However, where a
higher technical specification is required,
such as HART® or ATEX, or even larger pipe
sizes up to DN1200/ANSI 48”, the EPS model
with revised UMF2 electronics launched in
2018 to replace the DMH model covers all
bases. For applications where insertion is the
preferred method of installation the revised
PIT model is ideal and utilizes the familiar
UMF2 electronics.
As well as electromagnetic flow meters, for
water applications KOBOLD manufacture an
extensive range of flow instruments including
variable area, rotating vane, turbine wheel,
ultrasonic, vortex, differential pressure, and
Coriolis. With a great range of pressure,
temperature, level, and analytical instruments,
KOBOLD are one of the world’s most
comprehensive manufacturer and supplier of
process instruments.
2019 promises to be a very good year
for KOBOLD with further developments
and product launches; watch out for new
and innovative pressure and temperature
products during the course of the year!
