SMARTSENS analytical sensors with

integrated transmitter technology

Highlights:
No external transmitter needed

Introduced in 2013, SMARTSENS is the first family of analytical

sensors that no longer require transmitters: KROHNE miniaturised the transmitter and fitted it into the sensor head.
SMARTSENS sensors significantly reduce the risk of failure
from sensor to process control system and ease the handling of
analytical sensors in a revolutionary way.

Any SMARTSENS sensor can be connected directly to the process

control system, featuring direct communication via 4...20 mA/
HART 7 protocol, the open standard in fieldbus systems.
Sensor configuration is possible via PACTware (FDT/DTM) or a
handheld device with HART DD. SMARTSENS sensors function in
a 2-wire loop powered system. They can be used both in point-topoint operation and for multi-drop installations. Up to 64 sensors
can be connected in a loop of more than 1000 m in length.

For offline calibration, the sensor can be connected directly to

a PC running PACTware (FDT/DTM), using just one cable for
bi-directional HART 7 communication and power supply. Due to
the controlled, clean conditions in the laboratory, a much more
exact calibration can be performed. This enables more precise
measuring results and higher product quality.

Each SMARTSENS sensor is specifically designed for its area of

application: approvals and certificates range from installation in
explosive (zone 0) to hygienic areas. A large portfolio of accessories, including loop powered displays, USB interface cable and
mounting assemblies, ensures that SMARTSENS fits into your
application.

Water analysis

Water analysis
In many industrial processes, reliable water treatment
is essential for product quality and improving system
safety and efficiency. Water circulation systems
becoming contaminated can cause enormous damage
and must be detected early by continuously monitoring
relevant quality parameters.
In circulating steam or cooling systems, this
monitoring avoids the possibility of damaging deposits
building up which would lead to corrosion or local
overheating. At the same time, continuous monitoring
enables you to react immediately to any leaks.
Monitoring filtration stages also guarantees the
longterm high quality of feed water.

Potable water applications:

Water quality/limit values monitoring
Water quality monitoring in distribution network
Process control water treatment
Filter monitoring
Disinfection control
Power plant cooling water and boiler feed water
applications:
Quality control
Process control water treatment
Filter monitoring
Backflushing control ion exchanger
Dosing of biozides
Protection of reverse osmosis (RO) membranes

Beyond the highest requirements

For us, service starts at our first contact with you and
lasts as long as the life of our systems installed at
your plant.
Quality and reliability are key to maintaining the
highest service standards. All KROHNE feeder
factories are ISO 9001 certified. In fact, long before
ISO 9000 existed, KROHNE was manufacturing to the
highest industrial standards. Now certification exists
in every factory to demonstrate that we not only fulfil
ISO requirements but have passed the ISO certification procedure every three years since the standard
was introduced.
But its not simply a one-way process. We actively
encourage companies like yours to participate in our
research and development. Many of our products that
are today considered the pinnacle of excellence were
developed in cooperation with our customers.

Calibration

Calibration from KROHNE:

Certainty you can count on
Calibration is one of KROHNEs core areas of expertise. If you buy a KROHNE product, you will get a
measuring device that performs most accurate with
low uncertainty under real process conditions.
To achieve this, we operate more than 120 calibration
facilities for volume flow, mass flow, level, temperature, density and pressure to (wet-)calibrate any device
we manufacture. For example, every flowmeter is
wet-calibrated using water or air as standard before
leaving our facilities.
We can also provide customer specific calibration
such as:
Carry out multipoint calibrations
Vary different parameters such as temperatures,
viscosities, pressures etc.
Use the actual medium or similar
Build or emulate customer-specific flow geometries
Use piping provided by the customer

The worlds most precise volumetric calibration

rig for flowmeters up to DN 3000/120

For calibration we only use direct comparison of

measurands (e.g. we calibrate our Coriolis mass
flowmeters with a gravimetric weighing system). Our
calibration rigs are the most accurate used in
measuring device production worldwide: the accuracy
of the reference is usually 5 to10 times better than
that of the meter under test.

Calibration

Stretch for calibration of FMCW level meters

Volumetric piston prover

This goes for small as well as for very large sizes:

KROHNE operates the worlds most precise volumetric
calibration rig for flowmeters up to DN 3000/120
with a certified accuracy of 0.013 %. The reference
vessel is a 44 m/144 ft high tank containing almost
million litres/132,000 gal (US) of water which allows
for a maximum flow rate of 30,000 m/h/7,925,000
gal (US)/h.

Certified technology for fiscal & custody transfer

applications
Our meters can be calibrated and certified according
to various standards such as OIML, API, Measurement
Instruments Directive (MID 001, 002, 004, 005), GOST,
etc. The standards we use for calibration are
ISO/IEC 17025 accredited and traceable to international or national standards. Regular inspections by
national metrology institutes, round robin tests
and alignments with national and international metrological standards according to ISO 9000 and EN 45000
guarantee the quality and comparability of our
calibration rigs. Staff performing the calibrations are
trained and given regular re-trainings to ensure
quality and continuity.
