Product Overview: Kobold MIK-6FT-10-P-L343
The Kobold MIK-6FT-10-P-L343 is a high-precision magnetic-inductive flowmeter specifically engineered for the continuous measurement and monitoring of conductive liquids. Utilizing Faraday’s Law of Induction, the MIK series is ideal for applications involving water, acids, alkalis, and other conductive media. Because the measurement is independent of the medium’s density, temperature, and pressure, this device provides a highly stable and repeatable signal for process control and automation.
Measurement Principle and Design Benefits
The core advantage of the MIK-6FT-10-P-L343 is its non-mechanical sensing architecture. With no moving parts in the flow stream, there is zero mechanical wear and a negligible pressure drop across the sensor. This specific model features a robust plastic housing (POM or PVDF) and high-quality electrodes (Stainless Steel or Hastelloy), ensuring chemical compatibility with aggressive fluids. The «L343» electronic module provides a clear digital display and multiple output options for seamless PLC integration.

Performance and System Integration
The MIK series is a favorite in the chemical and wastewater industries due to its reliability. The integrated electronics allow for the setting of limit values directly on the device. Its compact design facilitates installation in tight pipe networks where traditional flowmeters would be too bulky. The use of high-frequency sampling ensures that even rapid changes in flow rate are captured accurately, protecting sensitive process equipment downstream.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this for deionized water? Conductive flowmeters require a minimum conductivity; if the water is fully deionized below 30 µS/cm, this technology will not function. Does it require straight pipe runs? For maximum accuracy, it is recommended to have 3x DN upstream and 2x DN downstream.
