Clamp-on flowmeter for gas pipes at last
A world's first is claimed for the Panametrics DigitalFlow GC868 clamp-on gas flowmeter, an ultrasonic meter for the flow of any gas, at high or low pressure, in metal and plastics pipes
High accuracy of +/-2% of reading with +/-0.5% repeatability and wide 100:1 rangeability has been verified on 3 to 36in metal or plastics pipelines with air, hydrogen and natural gas.
Single channel units and a dual channel version for measuring flow on two separate pipes or two paths on a single line are available.
Using patented Correlation Transit-Time detection techniques, the meter's stainless-steel and plastics ultrasonic transducers are acoustically coupled to the outside of a pipe, with no penetration of the wall.
Ideal for erosive, corrosive, toxic, sterile and high-purity gases, it cuts installation costs by eliminating pipe cutting or tapping.
The absence of moving or wetted parts means that no regular maintenance is required and there is no pressure drop.
An integral keypad programmed flow computer calculates velocity and other flow parameters in real time, simultaneously handling other activities such logging, data output and diagnostics.
