FAQ
What does KOBOLD make?
KOBOLD makes industrial instrumentation for flow, pressure, level, and temperature measurement and control (sensors, switches, transmitters, and related devices).
Is KOBOLD the same as KOBOLD Messring?
Yes, KOBOLD Messring GmbH is the parent brand, and KOBOLD operates globally with KOBOLD USA as the U.S. presence.
What types of flow instruments does KOBOLD offer?
KOBOLD offers a wide range, from simple paddle switches to high-precision Coriolis mass flow meters, depending on the application and fluid properties.
What Kobold flow meter type should I use?
The right type depends on what you're measuring and how precise you need to be. Here's a quick guide: - Variable Area/ Rotameters - clean liquids or gases, simple visual reading, budget-friendly - Magnetic - high accuracy for conductive liquids, no moving parts - Positive Displacement - viscous fluids like oils, high accuracy - Differential Pressure - liquids, gases, or steam at high flow rates - Paddle Wheel / Turbine - clean water and compatible liquids, cost-effective
What flow meter technology should I use for low flow rates?
Several Kobold flow meter types can handle low flow applications, the best fit depends on your specific process conditions, including fluid type, viscosity, required accuracy, and line size. Paddle wheel meters work for clean, low-viscosity liquids, but depending on your application, other technologies may perform better.
What level measurement solutions does KOBOLD offer?
KOBOLD offers multiple level technologies (examples include magnetic float, conductive, capacitive, optical, vibrating, and more) so you can match the sensor to the media and vessel.
How do I choose a level sensor for my application?
Start with: media type (conductive/non-conductive, clean/dirty), tank conditions (foam, turbulence), temperature/pressure, and whether you need point level (switch) vs continuous level (transmitter). KOBOLD’s range spans both.
Can I use KOBOLD instruments for monitoring and control (not just measurement)?
Yes, KOBOLD positions many products as sensors & controls (switches, transmitters, and control-adjacent components), not just readouts.
