Ultrasonic flowmeter Installation inline and clamp-on
Author: qingtianTime: 2024-03-06
Ultrasonio flowmeter is available in two installation designs:
- lnline
-Clamp-on
ln inline flowmeter,ultrasonic transducers are installd precisely on a pipe spool by manufacturer with fange connection which will be installeddirectly in pipe line.
Since clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter is a non-contact flowmeter ,it oould be a good solution for corrosive, erosive or toxic servies.Also for very large pipe sizes, clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter is an accurate and economical option.
Clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter has the advantage of being installed or removed without process line shutdown.
Clamp-on ultrasoni flowmeter instllation is not complioated, but reflection and refraction must be considered during installation or calibration.Since inline ulrasoni fowmeters do not have pipe wall ransmission losses and noises of refections between pipe boundaries, thay have moreacoustic power and have better signal-to noise ratio than clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters.
Ultrasonic flowmeters can be installed in vertical and horizontal pipe lines.
