Clamp-On Flowmeters
Sonalok 7 TX - Transit Time Clamp-On Flow Meter
Why Choose a Clamp-On Flow Meter?
The first ultrasonic flow meter was developed over 60 years ago using Doppler shift technology. Since then, ultrasonic flow meters have evolved significantly, adopting non-mechanical measurement technologies that eliminate the need for system shutdowns during installation. The Sonalok 7 TX Transit Time Clamp-On Flow Meter uses advanced cross-correlation transit-time technology, providing accurate and reliable flow measurements without intrusive installation.
Advantages of Clamp-On Flow Meters
- Non-Intrusive Installation: Unlike traditional meters, clamp-on flow meters can be installed without drilling or cutting into pipes, preventing downtime and ensuring process continuity.
- Enhanced Accuracy: With cross-correlation technology, flow measurements are more precise, making it ideal for critical applications.
- Broad Application Range: Clamp-on flow meters like the Sonalok 7 TX are used across industries—from water treatment facilities in Houston, Texas, to mining operations in Canada, to solar-powered setups in remote locations.
The increasing demand for ultrasonic clamp-on flow meters demonstrates their versatility and reliability in today’s industrial landscape. Their ease of installation and maintenance has made them a preferred choice across diverse industries.
Are All Clamp-On Flow Meters the Same?
The answer is both “Yes” and “No!” While all clamp-on meters are non-intrusive, their performance varies depending on technology. The two main types of ultrasonic flow meters are Doppler and Transit Time meters:
- Doppler Flow Meters: Suitable for fluids with particles or bubbles, using shifts in sound waves to measure flow.
- Transit Time Flow Meters: Ideal for clean liquids, using cross-correlation of ultrasonic signals for highly accurate and repeatable measurements.
The Importance of Transit Time Cross-Correlation
The transit-time cross-correlation technique used in the Sonalok 7 TX ensures exceptional measurement accuracy. This technique relies on high-quality, matched ultrasonic transducers that reduce offsets and improve signal consistency. With a wide velocity range (0-82 ft/s), our Sonalok 7 TX clamp-on meters excel even in applications with some flow disturbances.
Applications and Benefits of the Sonalok 7 TX
- Accurate Flow Measurement: Our cross-correlation clamp-on meters deliver precise measurements even under challenging conditions.
- Low Maintenance: Non-intrusive design means no wear-and-tear, lowering maintenance requirements.
- Versatile Use: Ideal for various liquid flow applications, from water treatment to industrial fluid monitoring.
