Key Features & Benefits

Non-Intrusive Measurement: Technologies like clamp-on ultrasonic meters allow installation without process shutdown.
Multi-Parameter Readout: Many meters measure mass/volumetric flow, density, temperature, and totalized flow.
Low Maintenance: No moving parts in magnetic and ultrasonic meters reduce long-term upkeep.
Bidirectional Flow Capability: Certain meters support measurement in both directions for complex piping.

Applications

Water & Wastewater: Pump control, chemical dosing, and distribution monitoring.
Oil & Gas: Custody transfer, wellhead production monitoring, and pipeline management.
Chemical & Pharmaceutical: Batch processing, reactor feed control, and additive injection.
Food & Beverage: Hygienic flow measurement for ingredients, CIP, and bottling lines.
HVAC: Chilled and hot water flow monitoring for energy optimization.
