Solution…………………………………………………
A common method for flow measurement of water is the use of
magnetic-inductive meters. However, these are rather expensive for
large pipe diameters. Furthermore, the assembly is complicated and
often requires heavy equipment.
A simple and low-cost alternative is non-invasive flow measurement with
ultrasonic clamp-on technology. For this, the transducers are simply
clamped onto the existing pipes from the outside. No pipework and no
downtimes are required. Additionally, the non-invasive measuring
procedure is not affected by deposits that gradually accumulate in the
pipelines and that can cause major measuring errors when magnetic-

a diameter of 6 meters.
Advantages…………………………………………….
Easy and low-cost installation and commissioning without pipework
and downtimes
Price advantage over magnetic-inductive flowmeters for larger
diameters
Wear-free measurement since the transducers are not directly in
contact with the media
Not disturbed by deposits
Flexible measuring system which can be employed at various
measuring points
The housing and cables of the robust and waterproof
ultrasonic transducers are made of stainless steel. Service and maintenance without dismantling the pipework
