FLOWave Type 8098 Flowmeter

FLOWave Type 8098 Flowmeter – Bürkert Fluid Control

FLOWave Type 8098 Flowmeter, developed by Bürkert Fluid Control Systems, is a high-precision flow measurement device designed for hygienic applications in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and biotechnology. The flowmeter uses advanced Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) technology to measure liquid flow accurately without direct contact with the medium.

The FLOWave 8098 features a measuring tube with no internal moving parts or obstructions, ensuring minimal pressure loss, high reliability, and contamination-free operation. This design makes it particularly suitable for clean and sensitive fluids, including liquids with low or no electrical conductivity such as purified water and water for injection (WFI).

Engineered with a fully hygienic stainless steel construction, the flowmeter complies with stringent industry standards and supports CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilization-in-Place) processes. Its smooth internal surface and self-draining design enable easy cleaning and reduce maintenance requirements, making it ideal for critical process environments.

The FLOWave Type 8098 supports advanced digital communication protocols such as PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, EtherCAT, and IO-Link, allowing seamless integration with PLCs, SCADA, and industrial automation systems. It also offers optional density measurement capabilities, enabling mass flow calculation and enhanced process insights.

Key Benefits

• Non-contact flow measurement using SAW technology
• No internal moving parts for hygienic and maintenance-free operation
