PORTABLE ULTRASONIC FLOW METER

The Portable Clamp-On Ultrasonic Flow Meter was designed to be deployed easily to measure flow whenever you need it without difficult installations or interrupting the process like other technologies.  The Portable CUTT’s transducers can be mounted to the outside pipes ranging in size from ½” through 48”.

Encased in a rugged IP67 housing, the Portable CUTT is designed to be used in temporary or permanent installations for any environment.  These meters are compatible with a wide range of metal and plastic pipe materials and “corrosive liquids” that would damage standard inline flow meters.  As a result, the non-intrusive, clamp-on ultrasonic sensors feature enhanced flow measurement with an onboard Data logger, easy-to-use menu for setup, and long battery life with no pressure drop that makes it the perfect product for most liquid flow applications.

PORTABLE ULTRASONIC FLOW METER

A portable ultrasonic flow meter is a non-invasive, battery-powered device used for temporary flow measurement without interrupting processes or requiring pipe modifications. It uses clamp-on sensors that attach to the outside of a pipe to measure flow velocity by timing ultrasonic pulses sent through the fluid. These meters are versatile, suitable for various pipe sizes and materials, and often feature a handheld design with a digital display for easy setup and data collection. 

Key features

Non-invasive and non-intrusive: Clamp-on sensors are attached to the outside of the pipe, eliminating the need for drilling or shutting down the system for installation.

Portability: Designed to be handheld and battery-powered for flexible deployment in various locations.

Broad compatibility: Can be used with a wide range of pipe materials (steel, copper, PVC, etc.) and sizes, often from \(0.5″\) to \(48″\) or more.

Versatile applications: Used in HVAC, water treatment, chemical processing, power generation, and other industrial applications for tasks like leak detection, system commissioning, and temporary flow monitoring.

Transit-time principle: Measures flow by calculating the difference in time it takes for ultrasonic pulses to travel upstream and downstream through the fluid.

Data logging and output: Many models include internal data logging capabilities, with some offering software for analysis and data export. They can also often provide real-time outputs like analog (\(4-20mA\)) or digital signals.

Rugged design: Often built with durable, handheld electronics, sometimes with an IP67 rating for protection against harsh environments.

User-friendly interface: Typically features an easy-to-use menu system and a backlit digital display for clear readings.
