Advantages of Clamp-On Ultrasonic Flow Measurement
1.Low installation effort and costs 2.Measurement is independent of fluid conductivity and pressure 3.No pressure loss,no possibility of leakage 4.Retrospective installation for existing plants possible. 5.No cutting of pipes necessary,no interruption of process,no plant shutdown 6.No additional fittings for maintenance required.
Clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters are a type of non-intrusive flow measurement device that attaches to the outside of a pipe to measure flow using ultrasound. They offer several important advantages in both permanent and temporary flow monitoring applications. Advantages of Clamp-On Ultrasonic Flow Measurement Non-intrusive installation: No pipe cutting, welding, or process shutdown required — ideal for retrofitting or live systems. Zero pressure loss: No obstruction in the flow path, which preserves system efficiency. Easy and fast installation: Mounts externally with minimal tools or downtime; can be relocated easily. No risk of contamination: Perfect for sanitary, corrosive, or hazardous fluids, as it doesn’t contact the medium. Works on a wide range of pipe materials: Can be used on metal, plastic, PVC, and more (as long as ultrasonic waves can pass through). Bi-directional measurement: Measures both forward and reverse flow. Portable options available: Suitable for temporary flow surveys, diagnostics, and maintenance checks. Wide pipe size compatibility: One unit can be used for many pipe sizes with adjustable sensors. Low maintenance: No moving parts, no fouling, and minimal wear. Can be used on high-temperature systems: With proper sensor selection (up to ~200°C or higher in some models).
