Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flowmeter deltawaveC-F

clamp-on heat meter

The clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter deltawaveC-F is the permanently installed twin of the portable clamp-on flowmeter deltawaveC-P. The new, universally applicable clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter for liquid media in filled pipes works according to the highly accurate ultrasonic time-of-flight method. Special advantage: The ultrasonic transducers are strapped onto the pipe from the outside (clamp-on or buckle-on technology), it is not necessary to cut the pipe, there are no pressure losses. Another advantage of clamp-on ultrasonic flow measurement: because the transducers are not in contact with the medium, the measurement is 100% contamination-free and thus 100% hygienic. This is particularly interesting for quantity measurements of food and pharmaceutical products. And if you have to measure particularly toxic or environmentally harmful liquids: There are no additional sealing surfaces or dead volumes when measuring flow with deltawaveC.

 

High measuring precision with liquid flowmeter deltawaveC

With the deltawaveC-F, the drinking water flow is measured according to the ultrasonic time-of-flight method via clamp-on transducers. This enables precise and very dynamic flow measurement, especially as the measurement process takes place many times - usually 50 to 150 times - per second. Thus, in combination with the extremely accurate signal evaluation, measurement results can be determined very reliably and practically drift-free even in fast-flowing liquids. In doing so, the calmp-on ultrasonic flow meter deltawaveC-F meets or exceeds even the highest requirements for precise flow measurement.

Absolutely hygienic ultrasonic flowmeter

Strict hygiene standards apply to drinking water measurement - and rightly so, because there must be no contamination here. The clamp-on flowmeter deltawaveC fix is the ideal tool here because it masters non-contact flow measurement. Here, the measuring sensors do not come into contact with the drinking water at any time. This eliminates the risk of contamination from the outset. This makes drinking water measurement with the deltawaveC fix 100 percent hygienic.

Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Meter: Quick and easy to install and set up

Parameterisation in a very short time

Precise and simple are not contradictory with ultrasonic flowmeterdeltawaveC-F. deltawaveC-F is very easy to handle. The user interface of the large graphical display is easy to master even without training. Installation and parameterisation of the deltawaveC-Fix only take a few minutes. It is not necessary to cut the pipeline; it is sufficient to strap the ultrasonic transducers onto the respective pipeline from the outside (clamp-on). A Quickfix mounting set is included in the scope of delivery for smooth installation. With the help of the Quick-Setup option, all necessary parameters can be set in a few minutes.

liquid flowmeter deltawaveC now also in the Ex area

All safe: Clamp-on flow meter deltawaveC-F is approved for use in hazardous areas

Both the transmitter and the deltawaveC sensors are Ex d (pressurised enclosure) approved. You do not have to do without the large display and the familiar simple operating concept of the transmitter. With clamp-on flow meter deltawaveC, you can combine Ex and non-Ex transducers according to your requirements: If, for example, only a small radius around the pipeline is Ex-area, you can place the transmitter without Ex outside the Ex-area and order only the ultrasonic transducers in Ex-design. This saves costs and does not compromise safety.

 

Clamp-on flowmeter usable as clamp-on heat meter

deltawaveC-F ultrasonic flow meter also measures gases!

The clamp-on measurement of gases is a particularly demanding measurement task, which deltawaveC-F solves optimally with its new Auto-Optimizer. The advantages are well known: No intervention in the pipeline (DN25-DN700), retrofitting, no wear or pressure loss, no sealing surfaces. The technology is particularly suitable for compressed air, natural gas pipelines, in air separation plants and large refrigeration plants. The newly developed Lamb Wave transducers cover pipelines with wall thicknesses from 1 to over 20 mm and diameters from 25 to 700 mm.

 

 

High temperature converter up to 380°C for the clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Meter

flow meter for hydro carbon industry and more

 

The new, directly-applied high-temperature converters withstand temperatures up to 380°C. And because the converters do not require spacer plates (hockey sticks), installation of the clamp-on ultrasonic flow measurement is much easier and the signals are significantly more stable and better than with conventional high-temperature converters.

This means you can now use deltawaveC on mediums such as tar, thermal oil, boiler feed water and various hydrocarbons in the refinery.

 

 

Saves installation and operating costs

Due to the clamp-on technology, your deltawaveC-F operates > 100% contact-free > 100% maintenance-free > 100% leakage-proof > 100% hygienically flawless > 100% pressure loss-free This makes your deltawaveC-F a long-term stable and reliable measuring device for the vast majority of liquid applications.

High measuring accuracy - drift-free and robust

Ultrasonic flow meter deltawaveC-F measures according to the highly accurate ultrasonic time-of-flight method. With this method, the flow is measured many times, typically 50-150 times, per second. Due to the high number of measurements, but also because of the use of state-of-the-art digital signal evaluation, deltawaveC works drift-free and reliably. Even with demanding measurements and media with gas and particle loads.

Usable as a clamp-on heat meter

Often an expensive extra - already integrated as standard with deltawaveC-F is heat quantity measurement. In addition to precise flow measurement, your deltawaveC-F also reliably and accurately records the heat output and heat quantity.
Regarding the sensors, you can choose the precise and easy-to-install contact temperature sensors from systec Controls or you can of course also use PT100 temperature sensors for flow and return temperature that are available on site. With a temperature resistance of -40 to 150°C, deltawaveC-F covers the vast majority of applications in heating and cooling circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions on Clamp-on Flow Meters

1. Which media are ultrasonic flow meters suitable for?

Clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters can be used to measure the flow of all types of media, including liquids such as water, coolants, oils, chemicals and food. They can also measure gases such as compressed air or natural gas with great accuracy.

The deltawaveC-F ultrasonic flow meter is specially designed for measuring the flow of liquids but can also be used for gases. For more fetails on how to measure gases via clamp-on, read abpout our clamp-on gas ultrasonic flow meter deltawaveCoG.

 
2. What are the advantages of clamp-on flow measurement over other methods?

Clamp-on flow meters are both hygienic and low-maintenance, making them ideal for retrofitting, particularly in building, process and energy technology. The transducers are clamped onto the outside of the pipe, and once they have been parameterised, the measurement can begin. All processes continue as usual. Thanks to its high measurement dynamics, the ultrasonic flow meter delivers precise results even in clamp-on mode.

 
3. What pipe diameters is the deltawaveC-F ultrasonic flow meter designed for?

The clamp-on flow meter measures the flow of liquids in pipes with diameters ranging from DN10 to DN6000, and gases with diameters up to DN700. The sensor can be attached to the outside of the pipe using a mounting rail or quick-release system.

 
4. What signal outputs and interfaces are available for your clamp-on flow meters?

Two 4–20 mA, pulse and relay outputs, as well as Modbus (RTU/ASCII), M-Bus and RS232/RS485 interfaces are available. These are ideal for integration into control systems or energy management.

5. What temperatures is clamp-on flow measurement suitable for?

Clamp-on flow measurement is suitable for a wide range of temperatures. For example, the deltawave C-F flow meter from Systec Controls measures accurately at temperatures between -30 °C and +150 °C as standard and, with high-temperature sensors, up to 380 °C. This enables clamp-on flow measurement of liquids in demanding processes.

 
6. What makes clamp-on liquid flow meters so hygienic?

In this method, the ultrasonic transducers are strapped to the outside of the pipe, so they only touch the pipe itself. This makes this type of flow measurement 100% contamination-free and 100% hygienic.
