Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Meters utilize transit-time ultrasonic technology (time-of-flight) to calculate the flow velocity and volumetric flow rate. The flow meter consists of two transducers that alternately send and receive ultrasonic signals to measure the transit time difference between the transmitted and received ultrasound signal. This difference in transit time is a direct measure of liquid flow rate. Learn more here.
5 Applications of Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Meter:-
Plant managers and maintenance technicians find our Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Meters to be very user-friendly because anyone can use our products without requiring deep technical knowledge. You may carry out various maintenance activities using our portable flow meter (Uf801P or Minisonic II) such as:
1. HVAC Commissioning (water side): All HVAC systems (heating and cooling systems) require several checks during the commissioning stage before the final hand-over. Our portable Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Meters can help with primary and secondary pump output flow verification (GPM), network leak detection, bypass-valve control check, hydraulic balancing, and much more.
2. Flowmeter Verification: In-line flow meters such as turbine or electromagnetic flowmeters suffer from calibration drift over time due to several factors. This drift causes tremendous measurement errors, which affects the efficiency of your process or quality of the final product. Our Uf801P or Minisonic II Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Meter can be installed adjacent to your existing flowmeters for a quick accuracy check. This will help you ensure whether or not your flow meters are performing as per specified accuracy.
3. Energy Audits: Our portable Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Meters are equipped with two temperature inputs to measure supply and return temperatures in a heating or cooling system. The flow meters are supplied with a set of (optional) matched clamp-on temperature sensors, just like the flow transducers, to avoid pipe cutting. The flow meters provide energy consumption (BTU or kWh) using the temperature and flow measurements. Our Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Meter is a great tool for ESCO’s (energy service companies) to perform energy audits to create an energy model of any facility.
4. Leak Detection: Our Uf801P portable clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter is also an ideal solution for water leak detection in network pipes. For instance, this Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Meter can sense liquid velocities down to ±0.03 ft/s so even small movement in water at low-peak times can be precisely detected.
5. Network Metering: Water utility companies and district cooling plants have an extensive water pipe network (underground and above ground). During the design phase a lot of these pipelines are not provided with critical metering points that are required for proper measurement and control of the infrastructure. The Uf801P or Minisonic II Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Meter can help operators carry out temporary flow measurements at various points in the network to study the feasibility of adding additional metering points.
We offer clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters for permanent monitoring as well as for temporary measurements. Contact us today at sales@seztec.com with your flow measurement application!
