FLUXUS WD / FLUXUS WS - Monitoring flow in Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipes (PCCP) - 1

FLUXUS® WD / FLUXUS® WS – Monitoring flow in Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipes (PCCP) Permanent ultrasonic water flow meter Extremely powerful ultrasonic transducers for accurate and costefficient flow monitoring of PCCP No invasive pipe work or supply interruption Extremely powerful transducers Suitable for higher gas or solid contents For detailed technical information on the FLUXUS® WD or FLUXUS® WS see the product brochure (www.flexim.com) For monitoring flow in Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipes FLEXIM offers two product series, the FLUXUS® WD for clean water and the FLUXUS® WS for sewage water. These high-performance clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters are capable of penetrating the walls of the most difficult pipes, such as PCCP, and delivering accurate flow data. The non-intrusive technology of FLEXIM is a great advantage for the operator, as there are no negative effects on the integrity of the pipe when installing the flow meter. Other technologies, such as insertion flow meters, require holes to be created in the pipe. This process can damage the structural stability of the pipe, especially if one of the prestressed steel wires is severed in the process. Internal lining Steel cylinder

FLUXUS WD / FLUXUS WS - Monitoring flow in Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipes (PCCP) - 2

The challenging structure of PCCP Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipes, sometimes referred to as Bonna pipes, are composed of several layers of different material. The core material of these pipes is concrete, followed by a steel cylinder. The next layer consists of prestressed steel wires that create a consistent compressive pressure. These wires are embedded in a mortar coating that represents the outer material of the pipe. The complex structure and multi-material buildup of PCCP is a challenge for non-intrusive flow measurement technology. But with extremely powerful clamp-on transducers...
