What Is a Clamp-On Ultrasonic Flow Meter?
A Clamp-On Ultrasonic Flow Meter measures liquid flow from outside the pipe using ultrasonic sound waves. Instead of installing the meter in the pipeline, sensors (transducers) are clamped externally on the pipe surface, making it a non-invasive and zero-pressure-drop solution.
It is widely used in applications where:
- The pipeline cannot be cut
- Downtime is not acceptable
- Hygienic installation is required
- The fluid is corrosive or hazardous
- Easy relocation and portability are important
Clamp-on ultrasonic meters are used across water supply, industrial processes, chemicals, HVAC, oil & gas, and many more
How Clamp-On Ultrasonic Flow Meters Work
Saitechflow’s ultrasonic flow meters use Transit-Time ultrasonic technology. Two transducers send and receive ultrasonic signals across the pipe. When liquid flows through the pipe, it affects the travel time of sound waves.
Transit-Time Principle
- Ultrasonic signal travelling with the flow moves faster
- Ultrasonic signal travelling against the flow moves slower
- The difference in travel time is measured
- The onboard processor calculates flow velocity and volumetric flow
Output Provided:
- Instantaneous flow rate
- Totalized flow
- Velocity
- Optional temperature measurement
- Optional energy (BTU) measurement
This makes ultrasonic flow meters suitable for clean liquids, treated water, chilled water, oil, chemicals, and low to medium-viscosity fluids.
