Technologies Commit Users' Benefits

Our Goal
Our shared goal is customer satisfaction through operational excellence.
Yokogawa has brought true innovations to industry. We are committed to ensuring accuracy, reliability, and safety of your production system throughout your business life cycle. Our comprehensive solutions and expertise help you achieve more results with less total costs of ownership. Below key technologies shall aim for your operational excellence.

Inductive Conductivity Sensors

The ISC sensors use a high performance engineering plastic of PEEK (polyetheretherketone) that provides abrasion and corrosion resistance.

The sensor has a large bore (17mm) for optimal resistance to fouling processes and when properly installed ,the flow will keep the sensor clean, to help avoid measuring errors. This large bore also allows quick response even on low flow measurement. Also available upon request is a PFA lined sensor that provides excellent heat and chemical resistance.

Dual Frequency Coil Excitation

Magnetic Flow Meters measure flow volume with Faraday's law. The frequency of excitation current given to coils affects in the measurement accuracy and response time. Dual Frequency Coil Excitation is Yokogawa's original technology to ensure ± 0.35 % accurate measurement as well as 0.1 second fast response simultaneously.

Our signal processing technique enables us to bring the benefits of an AC & DC magnetic flow meter into a single magnetic flow meter.

Manual Operation "Hard Manual"

Independent manual override is built into the control circuits, ensuring that control output can continue even when a control circuit including the CPU experiences a problem.

Dust-Proof and Water-Proof Front Panel

The front panel has a dust-proof, water-proof design which is compliant with the IEC529-IP65 and NEMA No.250 TYPE4^* standard. This structure provides good protection for the recorder's internal components and the removable storage media drive mechanism.

*Except external icing test.
