Many project engineers face real‑world measurement challenges on small‑size pipelines. Traditional inline flow meters require pipe cutting, process shutdown and complicated installation work, which brings extra costs and operational risks, especially for DN12 to DN125 small‑bore piping systems. The Lanry TF1100‑CC integrated clamp‑on ultrasonic flow meter is purpose‑built to solve these pain points, delivering reliable non‑intrusive flow measurement for compact liquid pipeline applications.
Adopting proven transit‑time ultrasonic measurement principle, TF1100‑CC calculates liquid flow velocity by capturing the time difference of ultrasonic signals travelling downstream and upstream through pipe walls. Different from conventional split‑type ultrasonic flow meters, this model features an all‑in‑one compact structure. There are no separate external transducer cables. Operators can complete installation by simply clamping the whole unit onto the outer pipe surface, without cutting pipelines, breaking sealing or opening process loops. Production does not need to stop during instrument retrofitting or commissioning, greatly lowering on‑site construction workload and project downtime risk.
Non‑contact measurement stands as one of its biggest strengths. Sensors never touch process media. There is zero risk of medium leakage, corrosion damage or internal fouling. Without moving mechanical parts inside the device, mechanical wear is eliminated, which significantly cuts long‑term maintenance expenses. It supports multiple common pipe materials including carbon steel, stainless steel and PVC, and measures various liquids such as water, seawater, oil and mild chemical fluids, with working medium temperature ranging from ‑10℃ to 50℃ and flow velocity coverage from 0.1 m/s to 5.0 m/s.
TF1100‑CC comes with rich signal interfaces for industrial integration. It provides 4‑20 mA analog output, relay output and RS485 Modbus‑RTU communication, enabling seamless connection with PLC, SCADA and building energy‑management systems. One outstanding highlight is its built‑in long‑term data‑logging function. The flow meter can store daily, monthly and annual totalized flow data for up to 10 years. Historical records support energy audit, consumption statistics and billing reconciliation, removing heavy manual data‑recording work for site operators. In addition, optional thermal energy measurement function is available, making it suitable for heating and cooling circulating water branches in HVAC systems.
This compact ultrasonic flow meter fits a wide range of practical scenarios. In HVAC projects, it monitors chilled water and floor heating supply‑return small pipelines for energy metering. In laboratories and pilot production workshops, it tracks small‑bore process liquid flow. It also works well for water supply branches, industrial utility circuits and building sub‑metering projects. Its aluminum‑alloy housing reaches IP54 protection grade, adapting to ordinary indoor and semi‑outdoor industrial environments.
When selecting instruments for small pipelines, many engineers mistakenly adopt large‑bore flow meters, resulting in poor low‑flow sensitivity and unstable readings. TF1100‑CC fills the measurement gap for DN12‑DN125 pipelines. Instead of modifying existing piping infrastructure, you can achieve accurate flow monitoring via external clamping mounting. It balances compact hardware size, stable measuring performance and affordable total‑of‑ownership cost.
To sum up, TF1100‑CC delivers fast installation, low maintenance, powerful data storage and flexible communication options for small‑bore liquid pipelines. If you have projects with small‑size closed full‑pipe liquid measurement requirements, this integrated clamp‑on ultrasonic flow meter offers a practical and cost‑effective alternative to conventional inline instruments. Share your pipe diameter, medium property and system communication requirements, and technical teams can verify whether TF1100‑CC matches your field operating conditions.
