1. Non-intrusive Measurement:
• Clamp-on flow meters attach externally to the pipe, eliminating the need to cut into the pipe or disrupt the process.
2. Ease of Installation:
• Installation is quick and straightforward, often requiring no specialized tools or system downtime.
3. No Process Interruption:
• Because they are mounted externally, they allow flow measurement without halting the flow or emptying the pipe.
4. Cost-Effective Maintenance:
• Since there is no direct contact with the fluid, maintenance requirements are minimal, reducing long-term costs.
5. Wide Applicability:
• Suitable for a broad range of pipe materials (metal, plastic, etc.) and sizes, as well as various fluids, including liquids and some slurries.
6. No Risk of Contamination:
• Ideal for applications in industries like pharmaceuticals and food processing, where contamination must be avoided.
7. High Durability:
• Protected from wear and tear caused by the fluid since the sensors don’t touch the fluid directly.
8. Flexibility in Measurement:
• Can measure both clean and dirty fluids, provided the fluid has particles or bubbles within an acceptable range.
9. Portable Options:
• Portable versions of clamp-on flow meters make them ideal for temporary installations or diagnostic purposes.
10. Energy Efficiency:
• Low power consumption and no pressure drop since there is no obstruction in the flow path.
11. Safe for Hazardous Applications:
• Useful in applications involving toxic, corrosive, or high-temperature fluids, as there’s no direct exposure.
12. Bidirectional Measurement:
• Many models can measure flow in both directions, enhancing their utility.
These benefits make clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters particularly useful in applications requiring flexibility, cleanliness, or minimal process interference.
