Flexim Fluxus F501 Ultrasonic Flow Meter

The FLUXUS F501 is a non-invasive clamp on flow meter for permanently mounting on to a pipe for monitoring fluid velocities and fluid volumes on a water ring main, chemical supply line, CIP set or an automated washer, an ideal solution for retrofitting into existing networks. As there is no need for interruption of supply lines, it is a much more cost-effective solution in comparison to conventional inline metering technologies such as electromagnetic flow meters.

Due to the non-invasive technology, no cutting or welding work is needed to mount the transducers on to the pipe and it is therefore the ideal solution for retrofitting into existing pipework. During installation, the flow meter's user interface is automatically adapted to the connected transducers and no zeroing is necessary. Water is already pre-selected as a medium and its physical properties are stored in the flowmeter's memory. In most cases only the pipe's outer diameter and wall thickness as well as the water temperature has to be entered in order to start the measurement. The commissioning work is thus reduced to a minimum.

The FLUXUS F501 offers a precise bi-directional flow measurement over a wide turndown ratio - not only at high, but especially at low flow velocities. Due to its matched and paired IP67 rated transducers, it also guarantees a superior zero stability.

Advantages

• Precise bi-directional, highly dynamic flow measurement
• Water-tight transducers (IP67) for use in the presence of heavy water spray
• Virtually maintenance free - permanent coupling pads instead of frequent regreasing
• Simple retrofitting in existing networks and systems - no need for pipe work or process outages
• User-friendly menu navigation - the firmware is specifically adapted to the needs of water users
• For nominal pipe diameters of 10mm up to 2500mm - highly cost effective
• Superior pipeline leak detection - high repeatability of accurate measurement readings
• Digital Signal Processing ensuring stable and reliable results even under difficult measurement conditions
• High measuring accuracy, even at low flow velocities due to matched transducers
