Clamp-on Flow Meter for Water Applications

Minisonic Ultrasonic Clamp-On Flow Meters

The Minisonic clamp-on flow meter for water provides accurate and non-contact flow measurement of water and corrosive liquids. This low-cost flow meter is perfect for applications where liquid contact is undesirable and pipe cutting is not possible. Ultrasonic clamp-on meters have a longer service life and cover a wide range of applications compared to inline mechanical meters.

Working Principle of Clamp-On Ultrasonic Flow Meter for Water

Measurement Principle of ultrasonic flow meters

Ultrasonic flow meters operate on the principle of ultrasonic transit-time. This “time-of-flight” principle utilizes two ultrasonic transducers that alternate between transmitting and receiving ultrasound signals. The difference in transit times (delta T) between the signals helps determine the flow rate, providing a highly accurate flow measurement.
