Flexim FLUXUS Clamp On Ultrasonic Flow Meters for Gases
The FLUXUS gas ultrasonic flow meters are available as portable as well as permanent meters and are finding a broad application range within gas exploration, transportation, storage as well as within industrial processing.
Accuracy and reliability are one of our strong propositions. Thus, our clampon ultra-sonic transducers are specifically matched and paired and do guarantee a high zero stability as well as high precision at low flow velocities. With more than 1000 measurement cycles per second, superior measurement algorithms embedded in the flow computer and with the transducers being calibrated in house or directly at the measurement point, FLEXIM's clamp-on systems are not less accurate than inline flow meters, but much more reliable, as they do not suffer from wear and tear inside the pipe.
The non-intrusive ultra sonic transducers are simply clamped on to the outside of the pipe and never get in direct contact with the liquid flowing inside the pipe. For installation, no cutting or welding on the pipe is necessary - process interruption or even process stops are a thing of the past. The bi-directional flow measurement system is immune against any kind of chemical attack by the gas flowing inside the pipe, as well as independent toward pressure peaks, vortexes, lateral or pulsating gas flows and does not cause any pressure drops - further reducing its operational costs.
Maintenance efforts are kept to an absolute minimum as our clamp on ultrasonic flowmeters are designed and engineered specifically to the industries needs - ranging from standard industrial applications up to robust measuring solutions for offshore usage in hazardous areas. Not only the transmitters, but also the ultrasonic transducers are protected against rough environments by stainless steel mounting fixtures (VARIOFIX) as well as steel armored cables, running from the transducers to the flow computer.
With the help of special coupling pads, the transducers themselves never lose contact to the pipe wall and thus do not need any type of regreasing. Both transmitters and transducers are available in various explosion hazardous area approved versions (such as ATEX, IECEx, FM and GOST).
In regard to the pressure ratio inside the pipe, FLUXUS doesn't know any limitation. Even the flow measurement of wet gas, as often seen during gas exploration and storage, is not a hurdle for the FLUXUS clampon gas flow meter.
By integrating additional process parameters such as pressure and temperature as well as the individual gas coefficients, the FLUXUS gas clampon flow meters are also capable to measure the mass flow rate as well as operational and standard volume flows with highest precision.
At the same time all FLUXUS clamp on flow meters share a high degree of commonality as they are based on the same technological platform, offering the user the same intuitive user interface, an automatic and fast transducer recognition and thus ensure a fast and easy set-up.
