Flowmasonic WUF 620 CF Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Meter General Descriptions

User also can mount hoops on unweldable pipe surface. Optional thermal energy measuring function. Widely applied in processing monitoring, water balance test, district heating balance test, energy efficiency monitoring etc.

Flowmasonic WUF 620 CF Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Meter utilizes the difference of ultrasonic pulse forwarding and reversing flow rate to measure flow. Use a pair of transducers to transmit and receive signal alternately. Transducer signal travels faster downstream than upstream. Obtain transit-time △t by measuring signal travel time in downstream and upstream, the average flow velocity can be detained according to △t and velocity V. The volume flow Q can be calculated out of the flow velocity V and pipe profile S.

Clamp-on transducer installation (Measuring Point Selection)

Ultrasonic flow meter is simplest and most convenient to install among all flow meters, just need to select one suitable measuring point and input the pipe parameters into flow meter, finally bundle transducer on the pipe. To keep measuring accuracy, users need to select uniform flow field when choosing measuring point, generally follow below principles:

When selecting a measurement site, it is important to select an area where the fluid flow profile is fully developed to guarantee a highly accurate measurement. Use the following guidelines to select a proper installation site:

  • Choose a section of pipe that is always full of liquid, such as a vertical pipe with flow in the upward direction or a full horizontal pipe.
  • Ensure enough straight pipe length at least equal to the figure shown below for the upstream and downstream transducers installation.
  • Ensure that the pipe surface temperature at the measuring point is within the transducer temperature limits
  • .Consider the inside condition of the pipe carefully. If possible, select a section of pipe where the inside is free of excessive corrosion or scaling.
  • Keep the temperature of measuring point in workable range.
  • Keep far from electromagnetic interference source, shaking pipe, frequency conversion and ultrasonic radial area.
  • Measuring point must have necessary straight pipe, generally upstream is 10D(D is diameter of pipe, same as below) downstream is 5D. Specific installation of straight pipe please refer to below figure :

Pipeline type and transducer installation point
  1. Pipe parameters entered must be RIGHT; Otherwise the flow meter will not work properly.
  2. During the installation, apply enough couplants in order to stick the transducer onto the pipe wall.
  3. While checking the signal strength and Q value, move the transducer slowly around the mounting site until the strongest signal and maximum Q value can be obtained.
  4. Make sure that the larger the pipe diameter, the more the transducer should be moved. Check to be sure the mounting spacing is accordance with the display in Window M25 and the transducer is mounted at the pipe‟s centerline on the same diameter.
  5. Pay special attention to those pipes that formed by steel rolls (pipe with seams), since such pipe is always irregular. If the signal strength is always displayed as 0.00, that means there is no signal detected.
  6. Thus, it is necessary to check that the parameters (including all the pipe parameters) have been entered accurately. Check to be sure the transducer mounting method has been selected properly, the pipe is not worn-out, and the liner is not too thick.
  7. Make sure there is fluid in the pipe or the transducer is not very close to a valve or elbow, and there are not too many air bubbles in the fluid, etc. With the exception of these reasons, if there is still no signal detected, the measurement site has to be changed.
  8. Make sure that the flow meter is able to run properly with high reliability. The stronger the signal strength displayed, the higher the Q value reached. The longer the flow meter runs accurately, the higher the reliability of the flow rates displayed.
  9. If there is interference from ambient electromagnetic waves or the signal detected is too poor, the flow value displayed is not reliable; consequently, the capability for reliable operation is reduced.
  10. After the installation is complete, power on the instrument and check the result accordingly.
