With 1% of full scale accuracy regardless of range, the rugged OWD Water Cut Meter is the ideal instrument for monitoring water concentrations in a variety of applications from production to refinery. The OWD offers continuous, real-time, water cut data.
Unlike other water-cut meters, the OWD’s patented multi-antenna design reads both oil continuous and water continuous modes simultaneously and automatically transitions between the two. The result is measurement over a true 0-100% range. Water-cut measurement is fully automatic with no need for operator intervention or supervision.
The OWD also uses internal references to auto calibrate for drift caused by temperature changes of the electronics, the aging of the electronics components, fluid pressure, and fluid temperature.
The simplicity of design and quality of engineering employed in the OWD Water Cut Meter mean there are no moving parts. The output signal can be sent to Flow Computers, SCADA, PLC’s or to a Central Control Room for logging or display on chart recorders or monitors.

The three main models available include the KAM OWD Insertable sensor, which can be inserted directly into your pipe or tank through a hot tap, helping you avoid costly drainage, the need for a bypass loop, or having to cut a section in the pipe. The KAM OWD Spool is designed for well-head applications and includes a KAM SMS Static Mixing Spool and an integrated sample valve.
To ensure the highest degree of accuracy, the flow must be homogeneous. KAM provides mixing calculations specific to your applications and accordingly recommends the installation of the patented KAM ML Measurement Loop, KAM SMP Static Mixing Plate or KAM SMS Static Mixing Spool upstream of your OWD detector to create a fully homogeneous mixture in your pipeline.
