Clamp On Ultrasonic Flow Meter
Designed for Small Diameter Pipeline Flow Monitoring
In many industrial and commercial systems, flow measurement on small diameter pipelines presents unique challenges:
-
Limited installation space
-
No allowance for pipe cutting or process shutdown
-
Requirement for quick installation and minimal maintenance
-
Corrosive or humid operating environments
The integrated clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter is specifically developed to address these scenarios, providing reliable flow monitoring for DN10–DN40 pipelines without disturbing the process.
Flow Meter Description
Ultrasonic Flowmeter Clamp On-Simple Installation, Stable Measurement, Zero Process Interruption
Unlike traditional inline flowmeters, this clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter focuses on ease of deployment and operational safety:
-
Non-intrusive measurement – no pipe cutting, no welding, no production stoppage
-
Integrated compact design – small footprint, ideal for confined installations
-
No moving parts – no pressure loss and minimal maintenance
-
No electrical conductivity required – suitable for water and other non-conductive liquids
Installation can be completed by on-site personnel without specialized training, following installation videos or step-by-step diagrams.
Ultrasonic Water Flow Meter-Working Principle
The ultrasonic flowmeter clamp-on operates using the transit-time principle:
-
Ultrasonic signals are transmitted through the pipe wall and liquid
-
Signals travel with and against the flow direction
-
The difference in propagation time is proportional to the flow velocity
-
The instrument calculates volumetric flow based on pipe size and velocity
Since the sensors are mounted externally, the measurement is completely isolated from the process medium.

Is this clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter suitable for very small pipes?
Yes. It is specifically designed for DN10 to DN40 pipelines where inline meters are difficult to install.
Does the liquid need to be electrically conductive?
No. The ultrasonic measurement principle does not require electrical conductivity.
Will installation affect the existing process?
No. Installation is external and does not require pipe cutting or production shutdown.
Can it be used in corrosive environments?
Yes. The PP glass fiber enclosure provides strong resistance to acidic and alkaline conditions.
Is professional training required for installation?
No. Installation can be completed by general maintenance personnel using provided guides or videos.
Does the meter cause pressure loss?
No. There are no moving parts and no obstruction inside the pipe.
