Yes. Clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters can measure flow through a wide range of pipe materials, including stainless steel, PVC, cast iron, and carbon steel.
Because the transducers are installed externally, there is no need to cut or modify the pipe. However, the pipe material and wall condition can affect ultrasonic signal transmission and measurement performance.
For the best results:
Stainless steel: Generally provides good ultrasonic signal transmission.
PVC: Suitable for measurement, especially when the pipe wall is in good condition.
Cast iron: Can be measured, but older or heavily corroded pipes may require special attention during installation.
Carbon steel: Widely used and generally suitable for clamp-on ultrasonic measurement.
Before installation, make sure the pipe surface is clean, smooth, and free from excessive rust, scale, paint, or other coatings at the transducer mounting points.
For difficult applications, please provide the pipe material, diameter, wall thickness, fluid type, and temperature. Our technical team can help confirm suitability and recommend the appropriate transducer and installation method.
