Users also can mount hoops on the unweldable pipe surface. Optional thermal energy measuring function. Widely applied in processing monitoring, water balance test, district heating balance test, energy efficiency monitoring, etc.

Flowmasonic WUF 620 Transit-time ultrasonic flow meter utilizes the difference of ultrasonic pulse forwarding and reversing flow rate to measure flow. Use a pair of transducers to transmit and receive signals alternately. The Transducer signal travels faster downstream than upstream. Obtain transit-time △t by measuring signal travel time in downstream and upstream, the average flow velocity can be detained according to △t and velocity V. The volume flow Q can be calculated out of the flow velocity V and pipe profile S.

Flowma Flowmasonic WUF 620 CF Clamp-on transit-time ultrasonic flow meter utilizes the transit-time principle. The Flowmasonic transducer is mounted outside the surface of the pipe without requirements of flow stop or pipe cutting. It’s very simple and convenient for installation, calibration, and maintenance.

Different sizes of transducers satisfy different measuring demands. Plus, select the thermal energy measuring function to achieve complete energy analysis.

Clamp-on transducer installation

Measuring point selection

The ultrasonic flow meter is the simplest and most convenient to install among all flow meters, just need to select one suitable measuring point and input the pipe parameters into the flow meter, and finally bundle the transducer on the pipe. To keep measuring accuracy, users need to select a uniform flow field when choosing a measuring point, generally following the below principles:

When selecting a measurement site, it is important to select an area where the fluid flow profile is fully developed to guarantee a highly accurate measurement. Use the following guidelines to select a proper installation site:

• Choose a section of pipe that is always full of liquid, such as a vertical pipe with the flow in the upward direction or a full horizontal pipe.
• Ensure enough straight pipe lengths are at least equal to the figure shown below for the upstream and downstream transducer installation.
• Ensure that the pipe surface temperature at the measuring point is within the transducer temperature limits
• .Consider the inside condition of the pipe carefully. If possible, select a section of pipe where the inside is free of excessive corrosion or scaling.
• Keep the temperature of the measuring point in a workable range.
• Keep far from electromagnetic interference sources, shaking pipes, frequency conversion, and ultrasonic radial area.
• The measuring point must have a necessary straight pipe, generally upstream is 10D(D is the diameter of the pipe, same as below) downstream is 5D. For specific installation of straight pipe please refer to the below figure :

• The pipe parameters entered must be RIGHT; Otherwise, the flow meter will not work properly.
• During the installation, apply enough complaints in order to stick the transducer onto the pipe wall.
• While checking the signal strength and Q value, move the transducer slowly around the mounting site until the strongest signal and maximum Q value can be obtained.
• Make sure that the larger the pipe diameter, the more the transducer should be moved. Check to be sure the mounting spacing is accordance with the display in Window M25 and that the transducer is mounted at the pipe‟s centerline on the same diameter.
• Pay special attention to those pipes that are formed by steel rolls (pipe with seams), since the such pipe is always irregular. If the signal strength is always displayed as 0.00, that means there is no signal detected.
• Thus, it is necessary to check that the parameters (including all the pipe parameters) have been entered accurately. Check to be sure the transducer mounting method has been selected properly, the pipe is not worn-out, and the liner is not too thick.
• Make sure there is fluid in the pipe or the transducer is not very close to a valve or elbow, and there are not too many air bubbles in the fluid, etc. With the exception of these reasons, if there is still no signal detected, the measurement site has to be changed.
• Make sure that the flow meter is able to run properly with high reliability. The stronger the signal strength displayed, the higher the Q value reached. The longer the flow meter runs accurately, the higher the reliability of the flow rates displayed.
• If there is interference from ambient electromagnetic waves or the signal detected is too poor, the flow value displayed is not reliable; consequently, the capability for reliable operation is reduced.
• After the installation is complete, power on the instrument and check the result accordingly.
