ZL-1158S Wall mounted clamp on ultrasonic flow meter uses advance circuit design,coupled with excellent hardware designed in English and can be switched surfaces.It is easy to operate and with stable performance.
Product Introduction
The clamp on ultrasonic flow meter is a non-invasive device that measures the flow rate of a fluid by using ultrasonic waves. This type of flow meter is particularly useful for applications where the fluid is difficult to access or where it is not possible to interrupt the flow.
ZL-1158S Wall-mounted Ultrasonic flow meter uses advanced circuit design coupled with excellent hardware designed in English for liquid flow detection and comparison testing in pipes. It has the characteristics of simple operation, convenient installation, and stable performance.
The ZL-1158S clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter consists of two main components: the transducers and the electronics. The transducers are attached to the outside of the pipe and emit ultrasonic waves into the fluid. These waves are then reflected back to the transducers, and the time it takes for them to travel is measured. By using the speed of sound in the fluid, the flow rate can be calculated.
One of the main advantages of the clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter is that it does not require any cutting or drilling of the pipe, which can be expensive and time-consuming. The installation process is quick and easy, and the device can be removed and reinstalled on another pipe if needed.
Another advantage of a clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter is that it can be used for a wide range of fluids, including liquids and gases. It is also accurate and reliable, with a high level of repeatability.
In summary, the ZL-1158S clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter is a valuable tool for measuring the flow rate of fluids in applications where traditional flow meters are not suitable. Its non-invasive design, ease of installation, and versatility make it a popular choice for many industries.
Product Advantages
Application Field
1. Water & Wastewater Treatment
-
Application: Accurate measurement of potable water, raw sewage, treated effluent, and chemical additives (like coagulants) throughout treatment plants.
-
Why Used: Clamp-on sensors measure flow without cutting pipes, preventing contamination risk and downtime. They handle large pipe diameters common in this industry cost-effectively.
2. Oil & Gas / Hydrocarbon Processing
-
Application: Custody transfer of crude oil, refined products (gasoline, diesel), and natural gas in pipelines and at transfer points.
-
Why Used: High-precision (0.5% or better) transit-time meters provide the accuracy needed for fiscal transactions. They offer bi-directional flow measurement and have no moving parts to disrupt flow.
3. Chemical & Pharmaceutical Industry
-
Application: Batching and process control of aggressive solvents, acids, APIs (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients), and ultra-pure water (WFI – Water for Injection).
-
Why Used: The wetted materials (e.g., Teflon, PFA) can be selected for high corrosion resistance. The non-intrusive design prevents dead legs where bacteria can grow, crucial for hygienic and sanitary processes.
4. HVAC & Energy Management
-
Application: Monitoring chilled water, hot water, and glycol loops in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems of large buildings and district energy plants.
-
Why Used: Clamp-on meters are ideal for auditing system performance and optimizing energy use without shutting down systems. They measure flow and can often calculate energy consumption (BTUs/kW).
