This is an ultrasonic flow meter of the clamp-on variety that can gauge liquid flow outside of a conduit.
This flow metre uses the propagation time difference method, whose ultrasonic propagation time differs depending on the rate of liquid flow in a pipe.
Due to the ability to measure from outside of a pipe, it is possible to measure various types of liquid without worrying about corrosion.
We have hand-held types that are appropriate for examining and inspecting the flow of various places in addition to wall-mount types that are stable for permanent standing.

TR1:Transducer at upper stream TR2:Transducer at down stream θ :Incidence angle of sensor
V :Flow speed in a pipe
V1 :Ultrasonic propagation speed (Upper stream to downstream)
V2 :Ultrasonic propagation speed (Downstream to upper stream)
C :Sonic speed in a liquid
When install ultrasonic generator as above picture, ultrasonic from up-stream to down-stream is faster propagation than
its of down-stream to up-stream. This time difference is direct proportion to flow rate. Volumetric flow rate is calculated
by cross sectional area of pipe.
(Note) This is calibrated by manufacture’s factory inspection facility before delivery.
Please use calibration function if you find instrumental error due to operating environment.
Note) Pipe line shall be filled by liquid, and flow rate shall be ideal distribution.

(1)Please select suitable installation method for piping condition in order to measure correctly. Please select from V
method, Z method and W method as below.
※ Extension rail as an option is required for Z method.
(2) Straight piping portion is required at before and after transducer. Please refer to below.
(3)Ambient temperature shall not exceed specification temperature. Less thermal variation is preferable.
(4)Please install to the pipe less obstacle of ultrasonic such as rust or scale. In case of impossibility, please set obstacle
as a liner, and measurement accuracy is equivalent of specification. However, please clean a pipe as possible.
(5)Space between pipe and liner makes difficulty of measurement because of less propagation of ultrasonic.
(6)Please select the place where pipe is filled by liquid while liquid does not flow. And also, please avoid to install the
place where may appear air bubbles.
(7)Please avoid to install sensor at right above and right under of the pipe in order to avoid air pocket and sediments.
Sensor shall be installed side within 90 degree angle from horizontal. And also, please avoid installation at a joint of flange or welded part of pipe.
(8) Please apply acoustic coupler to sensor when install transducer. When apply the acoustic coupler, please be careful not to include air.
