In the ever-evolving landscape of industrial operations, the need for accurate, reliable, and cost-effective flow measurement is paramount. One innovative solution gaining traction is the use of portable clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters, either as rental devices or as part of a comprehensive flow check service provided by skilled engineers.

Advantages of portable clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters:

Portable clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters represent a breakthrough in flow measurement technology. Attached to the outside of the pipe, these devices do not require any process interruption, making them ideal for temporary measurements or troubleshooting. By using ultrasonic waves to measure the flow of liquids through pipes, these meters offer a non-intrusive method that is both precise and versatile.

The rental model – cost-effective and flexible:

The rental model for clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters presents a compelling proposition for industries that need periodic flow measurement, but cannot justify the expense of permanent installations. Renting allows companies to access advanced technology without significant financial investment, enabling them to conduct short-term projects or emergency diagnostics with minimal disruption and cost. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for sectors such as water management, chemical processing, and HVAC systems, where flow dynamics can vary significantly over time.

Flow check services. Expertise on demand:

Many service providers now offer a flow check service, where trained engineers bring portable clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters to the site. This service model combines the technological advantages of ultrasonic flow meters with the expertise of seasoned professionals. Engineers can not only perform accurate flow measurements, but also provide comprehensive analyses and actionable insights based on their findings. This integrated approach ensures that potential issues are identified early, and performance optimisation recommendations are grounded in real-world data.

Emerson manufactures and supplies the world’s only ATEX certified portable flow meter for use on sites with hazardous areas and flammable gases, e.g. Oil & Gas production sites, refineries, chemical plants, distilleries and wastewater sites with methane in confined spaces.

Future smart flow management:

The adoption of portable clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters, either through rental or as part of a professional service, is transforming how industries approach flow measurement. It offers a cost-effective, flexible, and precise solution that aligns with the increasing demand for operational efficiency and reliability. And as technology continues to advance, the role of these innovative devices is set to expand, heralding a new era of smart, data-driven flow management.
