Clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter, also known as a non-invasive flowmeter, has gained popularity across various industries due to its unique and practical design. Unlike traditional flow meters that require cutting into pipes or direct fluid contact, clamp-on meters measure flow from outside the pipe using ultrasonic technology.

This non-intrusive approach is particularly advantageous in harsh or corrosive environments, as it eliminates the need to cut or tap the pipeline, significantly reducing risks of leaks, contamination, or malfunctions. The ease of installation is another major benefit. These meters are externally mounted using clamps, meaning there’s no need for direct contact with the fluid. As a result, they can be quickly and effortlessly installed without interrupting the flow or compromising the integrity of the pipeline.

Additionally, clamp-on flow meters are easy to maintain. They can be removed or replaced without any modifications to the pipe, minimising downtime and reducing costs. This flexibility makes clamp-on flow meters an ideal solution for measuring liquid flow in a wide range of applications, from water and chemicals to more challenging industrial fluids.
