Clamp On Ultrasonic Flow Meter

Flexible clamp on ultrasonic flow meters are a convenient and portable testing option that operate on the doppler effect – measuring the time for a sound-wave to travel between a transmitter and receiver.

The clamp is attached tightly onto the pipe, using ultrasonic couplant gel to ensure there aren’t any air gaps between the clamp and the pipe and enhance sound transmission from the transducer.

These units are also available for hire and can provide a temporary flow measurement solution.

Compatibility with site systems

All SIRIS products can be used with our data monitoring software, Palette, however they are also compatible with your existing SCADA system. Our expert team is committed to working in partnership with our customers to meet their individual requirements and ensure our products fit seamlessly into each site.

Simon Richardson says...

“If the cost of an electromagnetic flow meter is prohibitive, a clamp on ultrasonic flow meter can be a cost-effective alternative when correctly installed and calibrated by an expert. However, they can be compromised by environmental conditions such as temperature, so it may be necessary to use a sun shade to ensure it works accurately. We also offer this type of flow meter for hire as a convenient temporary flow measurement solution.”
