- What is the OPTIMASS 1400 Coriolis flowmeter used for?The OPTIMASS 1400 is used to measure mass flow, density and temperature in liquids and gases. Typical applications include marine fuel monitoring, food and beverage production, pharmaceutical processing, batching and dosing, process control and general industrial flow measurement.
- Can the OPTIMASS 1400 be used for marine fuel monitoring?Yes. The OPTIMASS 1400 is well suited to marine fuel consumption monitoring and can be integrated with Datum Electronics shaft power monitoring systems to support fuel efficiency analysis and Specific Fuel Oil Consumption (SFOC) calculations.
- Is the OPTIMASS 1400 suitable for food and beverage applications?Yes. The OPTIMASS 1400 supports a range of hygienic process connections and is commonly used in food and beverage applications including brewing, dairy processing, ingredient dosing and beverage production.
- What fuels can the OPTIMASS 1400 measure?The flowmeter can be used with a wide range of liquid fuels commonly found in marine and industrial applications, as well as many other liquids and gases used in process industries. Suitability should always be confirmed against the specific fluid, operating pressure and temperature.
- Can the OPTIMASS 1400 measure density?Yes. In addition to mass flow, the OPTIMASS 1400 can provide continuous density measurement, which is useful for quality control, concentration monitoring and process optimisation in many industries.
- What process temperatures can the OPTIMASS 1400 handle?The OPTIMASS 1400 is designed for process temperatures from -40°C to +130°C, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and marine applications.
- What are the advantages of a twin straight-tube design?The twin straight-tube design helps minimise pressure loss while simplifying cleaning and drainage. It also makes the flowmeter suitable for a broad range of industrial and hygienic applications.
- Does the OPTIMASS 1400 require regular maintenance?The OPTIMASS 1400 contains no moving parts and incorporates diagnostic functions to support reliable operation. Maintenance requirements are generally lower than many traditional mechanical flow measurement technologies.
- How do I choose the correct OPTIMASS 1400 configuration?The appropriate configuration depends on factors such as fluid type, flow rate, pressure, temperature, pipe size and connection requirements. Datum Electronics can help specify the correct meter for your application.
- What is the difference between the OPTIMASS 1400 and OPTIMASS 6400?The OPTIMASS 1400 is a cost-effective, general-purpose Coriolis flowmeter designed for everyday industrial and marine applications. The OPTIMASS 6400 is a higher-performance model intended for more demanding duties such as cryogenic fluids, LNG, custody transfer, high-pressure applications and challenging process conditions.
- Can Datum Electronics supply the OPTIMASS 1400 as part of a complete monitoring system?Yes. Datum Electronics can supply the OPTIMASS 1400 as a standalone flowmeter or as part of an integrated monitoring solution, including marine shaft power and fuel efficiency monitoring systems.
