Water treatment plants rely on accurate flow measurement to monitor water supply, distribution, and treatment processes. However, installing additional inline flow meters can be expensive and may require pipeline modifications or process shutdowns.
For engineers and maintenance teams, a portable ultrasonic flow meter provides a convenient way to check flow rates without interrupting normal operations.
Common Flow Measurement Challenges in Water Treatment Plants
During daily operation, engineers may need to:
- • Check water flow rates at different treatment stages.
- • Verify the readings of existing electromagnetic or mechanical flow meters.
- • Monitor inlet and outlet water flow.
- • Investigate unexpected flow variations.
- • Measure flow in large existing pipelines without cutting the pipes.
Installing a permanent meter at every measurement point is not always economical, especially when measurements are only required occasionally.
How Does a Portable Ultrasonic Flow Meter Help?
The Lanry TF1100-EP uses transit-time ultrasonic technology with external clamp-on sensors. It measures liquid flow through the pipe wall without direct contact with the water.
Its portable design allows operators to move between different measurement points, making it suitable for:
- ✓ Raw water pipelines.
- ✓ Treated water distribution systems.
- ✓ Filter inlet and outlet pipelines.
- ✓ Industrial wastewater systems.
- ✓ Water pumping stations.
With a suitable transducer configuration, the TF1100-EP supports pipe sizes from DN20 to DN5000.
A Convenient Solution for On-site Water Flow Measurement
The TF1100-EP offers non-invasive measurement, rechargeable battery operation of up to 50 hours, and data logging functions.
It helps water treatment engineers perform temporary flow checks, inspect existing systems, and collect flow data without unnecessary pipeline modifications.
