  • Why Choose Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Meter

  • No pipe cutting or modification required

  • Installation without production shutdown

  • No pressure loss or moving parts

  • Easy operation through menu configuration

  • Suitable for multiple liquids and pipe materials

  • Reliable solution for industrial flow monitoring

 

  • Applications

Since its launch, the product has been widely adopted in cleaning equipment systems and continues to expand into more industries due to its simple installation and reliable performance.

Main Application Industries

  • Semiconductor manufacturing

  • Food processing

  • Pharmaceutical industry

  • Beverage production

  • Detergent manufacturing

  • Textile printing and dyeing

  • Chemical processing

The wide adaptability to different liquids and pipelines makes the clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter suitable for a broad range of industrial applications.

 

  • Measuring principle

The clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter measures liquid flow inside pipelines using ultrasonic technology.

Ultrasonic sensors installed on the outside of the pipe transmit and receive ultrasonic signals through the pipe wall and the flowing liquid. The flow velocity is calculated based on the characteristics of ultrasonic signal transmission through the flowing medium.

The measurement result is converted into electrical output signals, allowing integration with industrial monitoring and control systems.

 

  • Compatible Pipe Materials

The clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter is suitable for pipelines made of different acoustic transmission materials.

Supported pipe materials include:

  • Metal pipes

  • Plastic pipes

Through simple menu configuration, one flow meter can be used to measure both metal and plastic pipelines

 

  • Suitable Media

The flowmeter is suitable for measuring single-phase clean liquids.

Typical applications include:

  • Tap water

  • Purified water

  • Ultra-pure water

With the expansion of application industries, the meter is also used to measure:

  • Acids

  • Alkalis

  • Organic liquids

  • Chemical solvents

  • Alcohol

  • Beverage liquids

Field testing shows that customers are able to successfully measure a wide variety of liquids with different viscosities.

 

  • Conditions for Measurable Liquids

To ensure reliable measurement, the liquid should meet the following conditions:

  • The flowing liquid should not generate bubbles or cavitation during operation

  • Pipeline pressure should be maintained around 0.3 MPa

  • Flow velocity should remain relatively stable within the pipe

Many additional liquids have been successfully measured in real applications. For specific media compatibility, consultation is recommended.
