The Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Meter consists of a main unit and a clamp-on sensor. Simply attach the clamp-on sensor to the pipe surface to non-invasively measure the flow rate of various liquids. Compared to traditional flow meters, it requires no pipe or flow interruption, making installation quick and easy, and achieving a truly non-destructive installation.
The Sino-Inst Transit Time Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Meter features a fixed wall-mount main unit and built-in SD card storage. It can measure the volumetric flow rate of liquids in pipes ranging from 1/2″ to 240″.

Applications
The unique non-invasive measurement method of clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters enables accurate flow measurement without disturbing the flow of fluids within pipelines.
Clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters have a wide range of applications, including but not limited to the petrochemical, water treatment, power, and metallurgical industries.
- Monitoring the flow of raw water, treated water, and wastewater at water plants optimizes water resource utilization and ensures environmental compliance.
- Suitable for measuring impure liquids (such as sewage and seawater) without pressure loss and long-term maintenance-free operation.
- Measuring the flow of corrosive chemicals such as acids and alkalis to minimize leak risks.
- In the food and beverage industry, they are used for batching and filling control, ensuring compliance with hygiene standards and preventing cross-contamination.
- In the pharmaceutical industry, they monitor the flow rate of high-purity water systems to meet sterile environments and GMP regulations.
- In heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, they optimize cooling water flow management and reduce energy consumption.
- In power plants (nuclear, thermal, and hydropower), they are used for cooling water and heat transfer flow monitoring.
- Monitoring wastewater discharge supports environmental compliance and pollution source tracing. Ultrapure water and process cooling water flow control ensures cleanroom production stability.
- Pipeline leak detection optimizes urban water supply and drainage system management.
Technical Support
The Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Meter, with its unique non-invasive design, revolutionizes flow measurement.
