Ultrasonic measuring devices are unrivalled when the flow-rate of liquids needs to be measured. The reasons for this technology's popularity range from its ability to get an accurate reading in even the most difficult applications to the ease with which an ultrasonic measurement device can be clamped onto the exterior of a pipe wall.
These advantages form the basis for the Proline Prosonic Flow, a new addition to the Endress+Hauser product range. Easy, inexpensive and practical to install, the device's two system sensors are attached to the exterior wall of a pipe without puncturing or large incisions. This allows measuring points to be installed in previously inaccessible locations, and retrofitting or replacement of devices during operation is enabled. Because pipes do not have to be modified to allow installation, the flowmeter is ideal for applications subject to safety regulations, such as those used by the chemical industry.
The Proline Prosonic ultrasonic flowmeter range is easy to install, does not cause harm to pipelines and comes with free software tools
The easy-to-follow detailed instructions assure trouble free mounting. A labelled, pre-punched sub-base makes it easy to fit the sensors in position as calculated by the electronics. A tongue-and-groove combination guarantees their accurate orientation. The fixing part of this mounting kit is equally suitable for strapping bands as for direct, Weldon solutions. Individual elements are made of stainless steel and may even be used under dire ambient conditions, as they are resistant to humidity, corrosive substances and pollution. These features played an important role in the product winning the Vaaler Award (in the USA).
The Proline Prosonic ultrasonic flowmeter range offers a broad spectrum of software tools for flowmeters of all types that allow optimum support for users, from planning, initial operations and configuration to diagnostic processes and maintenance. Suitable for use with most materials involved in manufacturing pipes, such as carbon steel and cast-iron pipes with cement or rubber linings, ultrasonic flowmeters are typically used in water and wastewater applications, as well as industrial engineering solutions.
Flow rates are determined by the run-time difference method, with high-performance electronics processing the measured values, taking into account relevant application data, such as the nominal diameter, thickness of the wall, lining material and so forth to accurately calculate the volume flow. The same system is suitable for pipes made of different materials and up to diameters of 4 m, a fact that greatly benefits companies in terms of warehousing and logistics.
Various options are available to ensure individual application requirements are satisfied, such as self-compensating mountings for tasks where exposure to large fluctuations in temperature is likely. Electronics and sensors are also available in hazardous area-versions and therefore suitable for ambient temperatures between -40°C and 170°C. Thanks to its flexibility and low mounting pressure, Proline Prosonic ultrasonic flowmeters can be installed without modification of buildings or pipes, as is often required for alternative measurement devices.
