OPUS System, suitable for rigid process applications:
0 to 40 bar, 0°C to 120°C, PH 1 to PH 14.
Technical specifications and dimensions.
OPUS is designed as a finger probe and can be adapted to nearly all kinds of process pipes or vessels by a variety of process adapters and probe lengths using a DN 100 flange. Process adapters cover pipe diameters from 10 mm up to a few meters.
For small diameters, 10 - 25mm, FT- (Flow-through) Adapters are applied to couple OPUS with the process. Since the complete product flow is introduced to the measuring zone, sampling is not an issue any more. FT 15, FT 20, FT 25 with inner diameters of 15 mm, 20 mm and 25 mm are available as standard, other diameters are available on request.
Pipe diameters from 25 - 200mm are covered by BP- (By-pass) Adapters. In this case the product is partially passing the measuring zone and partially flowing around the OPUS probe. This adaptation is best suited to be installed in a turbulent flow. BP 50, BP 100, BP 150. BP200 to inner diameters of 50 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm and 200 mm are available as standard, other diameters are available on request.
The standard adaptation is presented with the AF-Adapter. Using this standard flange as interface to the process, OPUS can be directly introduced to the process pipe. AF 100, AF 150, AF 200 for DN 100, DN 150 and DN 200 flanges are available as standard, other flange types are available on request.
Since the length of the probe can be customized to the demands of the process, OPUS is available up to a length of 3500 mm. Using the Docking Positioner & Cleaner elongated OPUS probes are automatically driven in and out of large process pipes or reactors. Especially designed for continuous processes the Docking Positioner & Cleaner allows for inspection and maintenance of the probe without any need to shut down the process.

The OPUS probe can easily be adapted to process pipes, either directly as a finger probe or in a by-pass situation.
