Using Clamp On Flow Meters in Clean Water Applications

Pulsar Portable Transit Time Flow Meter 6.1 measuring clear liquids

27 January 2023

Leaks and blockages in a pipeline of an installation can spell impending disaster for production, but how do we keep track of flow when an inline solution isn’t workable?

The Pulsar Clamp On Transit-Time Flow meter can address these issues quickly through its non-invasive method ensuring production is not impeded negatively or too greatly.

What is a Clamp On Transit-Time Flow Meter?

The clamp on portable transit-time flow meter is a quickly deployable non-invasive flow meter, that simply clamps transducers to the pipeline, and inputting the parameters to the device, you can begin measuring your pipeline flow very quickly.

The transit-time system functions by sending a signal from the transducer through the liquid to a receiver. The shift in frequency from transducer to receiver is analysed and produces a measurement of flow within the portable unit.

Can a Transit-Time Flow Meter be used for other liquids?

Yes, however it relies heavily upon the liquid being free of media, aeration and debris. This function can be utilised in hydraulics and viscous liquids, as well as clear water.
