Clamp-On Ultrasonic Flow Meter

CLAMP-ON ULTRASONIC FLOW METER

FLEXIM Non-Intrusive Ultrasonic Flowmeters

The FLUXUS range of flow meter measures the volume and mass flow of liquids and gases non-intrusively through FLEXIM‘s proven clamp-on transit-time correlation technology.

The ultrasonic transducers are simply clamped on to the outside of the pipe and never get in direct contact with the media flowing inside the pipe.

With permanent and portable flow meters, FLEXIM’s product range is directly driven by customer and industry needs and our focus and dedication is directed towards providing the highest quality equipment with the best support and service possible.

FLUXUS F601 – Unmatched in Performance

FLUXUS F608 - No More HOT Work Permits!

The FLUXUS F601 is the portable clamp-on flow meter of choice for servicing and maintenance activities, the control and auditing of measurement points not covered by permanent meters, or even the temporary replacement of permanently installed flow meters.

The FLUXUS F601 is measurement ready in less than 5 minutes, including the measurement of the pipe wall thickness, the connection of the transducers to the transmitter, the parameterization of the flow meter and finally the mounting of the transducers.

Though featuring an ergonomic design, which offers simple handling and maximum ease of use, the F601 was designed to easily withstand rough industrial environments. Besides its sturdy housing, the F601 portable flow meter features stable and precise push-pull transducer connectors with the cables themselves being steel armoured to prevent breaking or rupturing during daily work.

With its Li-Ion battery, the F601 allows for up to 14 hours of autonomous measurement. Matched and paired transducers as well as sophisticated algorithms care for the correction of pipe wall echoes and a wrong transducer positioning, thus ensuring reliable and highly accurate measurements – even during the most demanding application conditions. Due to the new Hybrid Trek mode, the portable flow meter can also reliably and accurately measure the liquid flow under conditions with a high content of solid particles or gaseous loads.

The FLUXUS F601 portable clamp-on flow meter is also available in an “Energy” and “Multifunctional” version, allowing the measurement of thermal energy / BTU flows and making the flow meter the ideal companion for the analysis or auditing of heating and chiller plants. The collected data can be used to perform a complete energy balance or to assist during process monitoring and optimization.

FLUXUS F608 - No More HOT Work Permits!

FLUXUS F601 – Unmatched in Performance

The FLUXUS F608 portable flow meter for liquids is based on the widely used, highly reliable and versatile F601, but has been specifically engineered for its use within hazardous areas and is covered by an ATEX, IECEx and FM certification.

Thus, users are not anymore obliged to obtain a Hot Work Permit, making the access to ATEX, IECEx and FM Zones much easier and less time consuming.

Offering a high degree of flexibility, without compromising on Safety!

The extremely resistant carbon fiber housing, together with the rugged transducer design, ensures a high impact protection as well as resistance against oil, water and many other liquids. The F608 portable flow meter shares the same efficient battery management as the F601, offering over 14 hrs. of remote measurement time.

Moreover, the measurement system can be fully set-up in less than five minutes due to the intuitive user guidance and the automatic transducer recognition. Its application range is unrivalled – from pipes as small as 6 mm up to 6500 mm inner diameter and temperatures ranging from -40°C to 200°C (with the Wave Injector solution even from -190°C up to 600°C).

The F608 goes where other portable devices can’t

Being equipped with two flow channels, multiple In- and Outputs and an integrated data logger with a serial interface, the flowmeter is designed for direct usage in demanding environments, such as in the Upstream, Midstream and Downstream area as well as in the chemical and processing industries and the energy sector where its temperature inputs allow for the quantification of thermal energy flow rates.

As known from all FLEXIM flow meters, also the F608 portable flow meter features a highly precise bi-directional measurement at fast and even very slow flow rates over a wide dynamic measurement range and is not prone to temperature and zero drift, being fully compliant to ANSI/ASME regulations.

However, the F608 is not only safe, accurate and reliable, but also very compact and lightweight, offering the user to even carry the complete measuring system as personal luggage for Offshore visits.
