As the sensors are fitted to the outside of the pipework, the water supply remains uninterrupted at all times. There is no downtime, and the risk of contamination through openings in the pipework is completely eliminated, as is the risk of leaks.
Ultrasonic Flow Measurement for the Entire Water Cycle
Water and wastewater utilities operate extensive pipe networks comprising a wide variety of pipe sizes and media types. The demands placed on flow measurement systems are correspondingly high: they must be versatile, reliable in operation and cost-effective to purchase and use – both for permanent installations and for temporary measurement tasks.
Benefits of Using Katronic Ultrasonic Flowmeters in the Water Sector
Clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters can be installed quickly and without any intervention in the pipework, and are ideal for maintenance, inspection and monitoring measurements, even in confined or hard-to-reach areas. They also offer a cost-effective alternative to invasive flowmeters for continuous measurement on large pipes. Katronic’s clamp-on technology enables safe and hygienic flow measurement in drinking water, wastewater and industrial effluent applications.
Installation without Interrupting the Supply
High Cost-Effectiveness for Large Pipelines
Installing invasive measurement systems involves considerable effort, particularly in the case of large pipe diameters. Katronic clamp-on flowmeters require no pipework, no downtime and no specialist training. This significantly reduces both capital and operating costs. When one also considers that some of our instruments allow simultaneous measurements on two pipes, the economic benefits of the KATflow flowmeters become particularly clear.
Reliable Long-Term Measurements at Remote Monitoring Sites
Measuring points in the water and wastewater sector are often located in shafts, trenches or areas exposed to the elements. Self-contained clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters enable reliable long-term measurements without the need for an external power supply. The system’s high protection rating ensures safe operation even in wet conditions and under mechanical stress, whilst optional remote reading functions allow data to be collected without the need for regular on-site visits.
