Application Industry:

Since the X3 was put on the market, it has been widely used in the cleaning equipment industry. Due to its simple installation and operation, and reliable measurement performance, it has been continuously promoted in new industries.

Main industries: food, medicine, drinking water, washing supplies, printing and dyeing, chemical supplies, etc.

Strap on Flow Meter Model X3 Application Industry

Suitable Medium

X3 almost meets different clean fluid measurements:

The main application is in the measurement and control of water (tap water, pure
water, ultrapure water). It is also well used for various acids, alkalis, wines, chemical solvents, alcohol, drinking water, etc.

Media measured with user feedback:
Sulfuric acid, white wine, hydrocarbons, alcohol, sodium chlorate, sodium carbonate, triethylammonia, ethylenediamine, propylene oxide, etc.

Judgment of the measurable medium: the flow rate of the medium in the pipeline is stable, and the pressure is kept at 0.3MPa. No air bubbles (or cavitation) due to flow or
pressure changes can be measured.

Strap on Flow Meter Model X3 Suitable Pipe Material

X3 can almost meet the measurement of different sound-conducting material pipes, including “metal pipe” and “plastic pipe”.

Through menu options, an X3 can measure both metal pipes and plastic pipes. Metal pipe: stainless steel pipe, carbon steel pipe, copper pipe

Plastic pipes: PVC/CPVC, PVDF, PPR, PPH, PFA/PU, HDPE, etc.

FAQ

Clamps on flow meters are essentially our clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters. In terms of working principle, there are time difference type and Doppler type. We use the more commonly used time difference type to analyze the working of clamps on flow meters.

In the time difference ultrasonic flow meter, an ultrasonic wave transmitting clamp-on sensor (commonly known as ultrasonic probe) and an ultrasonic wave receiving clamp-on sensor are placed within a fixed length L.

The propagation speed of ultrasonic waves in downstream and upstream is different. The relationship between the propagation time difference and the fluid velocity is used to calculate the flow velocity. If the pipe diameter is known, the flow rate is obtained by the flow velocity and pipe diameter.

The main disadvantages of the clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter are:

  1. The measurement temperature is limited. Currently, ultrasonic flowmeters can only measure fluids below 160°C.
  2. The anti-interference ability is not ideal, and it is easily affected by ultrasonic noise such as bubbles, scaling, and pumps, resulting in poor accuracy.
  3. The installation location requires avoiding the pump outlet, strong magnetic field, electric field, and high pipe points.
  4. The installation method also has a great impact on the measurement effect of the ultrasonic flowmeter. Incorrect installation methods will affect the measurement accuracy.
  5. The pipeline has high requirements and needs to be coated with a layer of coupling agent, otherwise measurement errors will occur.
  6. Compared with the measurement of other contact flowmeters, the accuracy of the clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter will be lower.

For the measurement of water pipe flow, we can choose many types of flow meters. Contact type, such as electromagnetic flow meter, turbine flow meter, oval gear flow meter. Non-contact type, which is our clamp-on flow meter.

Using a clamp-on flow meter to measure a water pipe, there is no need to cut off the water pipe. You only need to clamp the ultrasonic sensor outside the water pipe to measure the water flow.
