PREVENT DAMAGE, DOWNTIME AND INEFFICIENCY.

Industrial pumps are vital components in any production process. Yet in many facilities, pumps often run without adequate protection. Entrained air, cavitation, pressure build-up or temperature fluctuations can, over time, lead to flow deviations or even pump damage. As a result, pump performance and efficiency are not always guaranteed.

A proven way to detect these risks at an early stage is flow measurement using ultrasonic clamp-on technology.

Why choose clamp-on flow measurement?

Clamp-on utrasonic flowmeters monitor liquid flow externally, without any need to interrupt or modify the pipeline. Deviations are detected at an early stage, wear or unexpected downtime is avoided, and process accuracy is safeguarded around the clock.

Key advantages:

  • Non-invasive: mounted externally, no process interruption
  • Fast response: measurement reaction time of just 70 ms
  • Ideal for retrofits: compatible with existing pipelines, diameters 10 – 6500 mm
  • Leak detection: early warning of leaks helps prevent contamination or product loss
  • Cost-efficient: no process modifications, no contamination, no downtime

With sensors installed on the outside of the pipe, the medium remains completely untouched. There is no pressure drop, no risk of leaks. And most importantly: No unplanned shutdowns for installation or maintenance. This makes clamp-on flowmeters especially suited for just-in-time production environments.

A response time of just 70 milliseconds makes clamp-on flowmeters ideal for dynamic processes such as pulsed flows or injection applications. Installation is quick and straightforward, with no costly modifications or system downtime.

Clamp-on flow measurement can be used for a wide range of R&D, production and process monitoring tasks, including:

  • Pump and motor performance testing (including automotive)
  • Cooling circuit and hydraulic system monitoring
  • Consumption measurement of water, heating and cooling energy
  • Leak detection and cavitation monitoring
  • Inline verification of existing flowmeters
  • Monitoring of injection moulding machines
  • Support for process automation

Our clamp-on technology is trusted worldwide by companies such as:
