What is non contact flow meter?

Non Contact Flow Meters refers to flow meters that can achieve flow measurement without contacting the fluid medium. No need to destroy the pipeline. Easy to install and remove. This is a good choice for many pipes with strict hygiene requirements or only temporary measurements.
Non Contact Flow Meters supplied by Sino-Inst are suitable for various pipe material requirements: stainless steel pipe, carbon steel pipe, copper pipe, plastic pipe (PVC, PVDF, PPR, PPH, HDPE, etc.). It can also meet the measurement of different clean fluids: various acids, chemical solvents, alcohol, beverage water, Coca-Cola, etc.

Types of Non Contact Flow Meters

Currently, the main Types of Non Contact Flow Meters on the market are ultrasonic flow meters and radar flow meters.

Non-contact ultrasonic flowmeters account for 90% of non-contact measurement applications. Mainly used for flow measurement of various pipeline fluids.

Non-contact radar flowmeter is suitable for non-contact flow measurement of rivers, channels, pipelines, etc.

Clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters utilize ultrasonic technology for easy and quick installation. Applicable to a variety of materials and pipes of different diameters. Delivers incredible measurement results even when compared to electromagnetic flow products.

The non contact ultrasonic flow meter only needs to install a very small ultrasonic sensor on the outside of the pipe without destroying the pipe. It can provide completely reliable measurement results while saving a lot of installation costs.

The transducer and the converter are connected by a special signal transmission cable. In the case of fixed measurement, a junction box should be installed in an appropriate place. Clamp-on transducers usually also require mounting clamps and couplant.

Non-contact radar flowmeters are used for flow measurement in drains, drains, and rivers. Suitable for surface flow velocity for easy measurement. It can be used for long-term flow monitoring of various non-full drainage pipes, open channels (rectangular, trapezoidal, etc.), weirs, grooves, etc. and surface runoff. Instantaneous liquid level, flow rate and flow can be automatically recorded.

It can work stably in complex environments such as inspection wells that are wet, full of toxic and harmful, flammable and explosive gases. Due to non-contact, it is suitable for monitoring of fast flow monitoring points. And compared to contact equipment, installation and maintenance are simpler. But it cannot work under long-term immersion and overflow conditions.

It can meet the needs of system monitoring and data transmission without AC power and network access. And has excellent sealing performance, with anti-corrosion, explosion-proof function.

It can be maintenance-free on a daily basis, run regularly for inspection, and no need for manual on-duty. Measurement information can be stored locally and sent wirelessly. With early warning and cloud management functions, it can be set remotely.

Frequently
Asked
Questions

Help Center

If you let me answer this question. I would like to divide flow meters into two categories: mass flow meters and volumetric flow meters.

Of course, it can also be divided according to the measurement medium. There are two types of flow meters for measuring gas and measuring liquid.

Perhaps, we can also divide into closed pipeline measurement and open channel measurement according to the situation of the pipeline.

Finally, we may also be able to divide into contact and non-contact measurements according to the contact situation of the medium.

Non-invasive flow meter is also known as non-contact flow meter. When measuring the fluid flow of the pipeline, there is no need to cut and open the pipeline. easy to use.

If the flowmeter is divided into 5 categories. Then the five commonly used flowmeters are:

  1. Electromagnetic flowmeter
  2. Differential pressure flowmeter
  3. Turbine flowmeter
  4. Ultrasonic flowmeter
  5. Volumetric flowmeter (PD)
