Yes. Clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters can measure high-temperature and high-pressure fluids, because the sensors are mounted outside the pipe and do not contact the process fluid. However, there are practical limits depending on the sensor type and application.
High-Temperature Capability
High-temperature sensors: up to 200°C
High-Pressure Capability
Pressure is generally not a limiting factor
Since there is no pipe penetration, the meter can be used on very high-pressure pipelines
The only requirement is that the pipe wall remains intact and safe
Typical Applications
Steam condensate lines
Hot water and thermal oil systems
Boiler feed water
High-pressure chemical pipelines
Power plant and energy systems
Important Considerations
Pipe material and wall thickness affect ultrasonic signal transmission
Proper coupling material must match the temperature range
Thermal expansion of the pipe should be considered for long-term installations
Accuracy may decrease if pipe scaling or lining is present at high temperatures
