CLAMP-ON ULTRASONIC FLOW METER

Product catalog summary
Overview
The document describes a Clamp-On Ultrasonic Flow Meter designed for non-contacting flow measurement. It is suitable for measuring the flow rate of clean, non-aerated fluids in full pipes, such as water, chemicals, and oils. The device uses ultrasonic transducers that clamp onto the outside of pipes, allowing for installation without system shutdown and producing no pressure drop.
Key Features
  • Non-Contacting Measurement: Ultrasonic transducers measure flow from outside the pipes, ensuring no pressure drop and easy installation.
  • User-Friendly Interface: Built-in keypad and menu system for easy programming of various parameters. Settings are retained during power interruptions.
  • Industrial Protocols: Supports Modbus RTU and HART for real-time data and diagnostics.
  • Wide Compatibility: Works with various pipe materials and fluids, including water, chemicals, and oils.
  • Environmental Safety: IP67 rating for safe operation in wet locations.
Technical Specifications
  • Operating Temperature: Transducer: -40°F to 300°F; Electronics: -5°F to 140°F.
  • Power Input: 100-240VAC or optional 9-32VDC.
  • Analog Output: Isolated 4-20mA/0-5V with programmable offset.
  • Control Relays: Two standard relays, with an option for four additional relays.
  • Certifications: Non-Incendive for Class I Division 2, with optional intrinsic safety for Class I Division 1.
  • Measuring Accuracy: ±1.0% of reading for certain flow rates, with high repeatability and linearity.
  • Pipe Compatibility: Suitable for pipe sizes from 0.5” to 48” and various materials.
Measurement Operation
The flow meter operates on the transit time ultrasonic principle, measuring the time difference of ultrasonic pulses transmitted between transducers. The device calculates flow rate by comparing upstream and downstream transit times, providing an average flow profile. Transducers can be mounted on vertical or horizontal pipes, which must be full.
Part Number Guide
The document includes a detailed part number guide for customizing the flow meter with options for cables, enclosures, control relays, power input, serial communications, temperature ratings, intrinsic safety, transducers, and mounting hardware.

CLAMP-ON ULTRASONIC FLOW METER-2

CLAMP-ON ULTRASONIC FLOW METER Ideal for measuring the flow rate of clean, non-aerated fluids in full pipes such as water, chemicals and oils. MEASUREMENT OPERATION The Transit Time Flow Meter measures flow from the outside of pipes. It works by measuring the time of flight difference for ultrasonic sound pulses transmitted from one transducer to another. Depending on the mounting configuration, the signal may cross the pipe once, twice, or four times. The time between transmitted and received signals is precisely measured by the flow meter. Ultrasonic signals are sent upstream and then downstream...
