The Short History Klay Instruments

Klay Instruments was founded in 1978 starting with developping and manufacturing pneumatic instruments. The electronical instruments came rather quickly after the start of the company. The first location was in Hoogersmilde. In 1993 the company moved to the present location in Dwingeloo. This building has been extended in 2006.

Line of Business

Pressure Measurement

Differential pressure measurement on gasses, steam and liquids in all industries. Level measurement in closed tanks. For this the internal tank linearisation can be used. The DP-4000 can also be supplied with chemical seals. Square root function on board for flow measurement.

Level Measurement

Level Transmitters

Non hygienic level measurement of liquids where a flush diaphragm is needed. Examples are water, wastewater and oil. Because of the flush diaphragm very suitable for liquids which can cause clogging like pulp, paper and starch. For the pulp and paper industry specific process connections are available.

Klay Instruments Level Measurement

Submersible Level Transmitter

Level measurement of drinking water, surface water, wastewater and sludge. Often used by water boards and water works. Various industrial applications like level measurement in storage tanks. Level measurement of ballast water, drinking water and oil on ships.

Level Switches

Maximum and minimum level detection of liquids in tanks. Minimum level detection in conduits as dry run protection of pumps.

Flow Measurement

Differential pressure measurement on gasses, steam and liquids in all industries based on the differential pressure over a Orifice plate, Venturi or Pitot tube.

Pharmaceutical Industry

In the pharmaceutical industry sterility, safety and accuracy are important for the production of medicines. For this industry Klay Instruments manufactures all stainless transmitters with aseptic connections and polished wetted parts. Common used connections are Tri-clamp and Varivent. Several connection types are certified acording to the European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group (EHEDG) and the American sanitary standard 3-A.

Klay Instruments manufactures transmitters with an accuracy up to 0.075%. The high accuracy of the instruments is important for precise dosing. Pharmaceutical installations are being build and certified according to hygienic standards. Several types of certificates can be supplied with the instruments.

Features

Aseptic EHEDG and 3-A certified connections
Transmitters with high accuracies

Pulp and Paper Industry

The compact and robust pressure and level transmitters of Klay Instruments are very suitable for applications in the pulp and paper industry. In these heavy conditions both the stainless steel housing and strong flush mounted diaphragm are an advantage.

The transmitters are mainly used for pressure and level measurement in the pulp preparation. All current process connections used in the paper industry are available. A very handy solution for this industry is a transmitter fitted in a valve. The instrument can be taken out of the valve during actual operation.
