At the heart of today's industrial challenges, the quest for performance and sustainability has become a strategic imperative. The objectives are clear:
Accurate flow measurement is a key lever for quickly identifying areas for improvement and reducing fluid and energy wastage.
Thanks to clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters, manufacturers benefit from real-time visibility of flows, can quickly adjust production parameters and comply with environmental requirements. With no direct contact with the fluid, these devices avoid contamination and reduce the carbon footprint (less material, less intervention). Their high level of accuracy helps to immediately identify deviations in consumption, better allocate resources and optimize production, boosting both process profitability and the company's ecological performance.
Reducing waste
Optimizing energy consumption
Enhancing competitiveness
Ensuring environmental compliance
Compared with those of just a few years ago, clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters now offer unrivalled levels of accuracy for fluid flow measurement. Historically, manufacturers have long relied on Doppler flowmeters, which have proved useful in many sectors and are still in use today. However, for a large number of applications, they are unsuitable. This is because Doppler measurement requires the presence of bubbles, particles or other impurities in the fluid, a prerequisite for reflecting the ultrasonic signal. This severely limits their use in very pure liquids.
In contrast, the most recent technologies are based on the transit time principle, in which ultrasonic pulses are sent diagonally between two transducers placed outside the pipe. The time difference measured between the upstream and downstream transducers is caused by the fluid's flow velocity. This approach makes it possible to obtain extremely precise measurements, without being restricted to fluids laden with impurities or bubbles.
Fuji Electric relied on the transit time principle for several reasons:
In addition, the integration of new signal processing algorithms enhances sensor sensitivity and diagnostic quality (air bubble detection, signal quality assessment, etc.). As a result, clamp-on technology has become an essential reference for combining measurement reliability, cost reduction and ease of installation, meeting the varied challenges encountered in many production environments.
High precision
No contamination
Adaptability to different sectors
In addition to flow measurement, Fuji Electric's clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters offer advanced features for further process optimization:
This ability to provide detailed information on flows and thermal performance is an invaluable asset for optimizing energy consumption and overall site performance.
One of the main advantages of ultrasonic clamp-on flowmeters is their ease of installation. Unlike intrusive flowmeters (insertion or flow-through), installation is carried out directly outside the pipe:
The simplicity of ISO 24062:2023 installation conditions considerably reduces downtime and heavy operations, resulting in lower industrial costs and improved service continuity.
To optimize industrial processes, equipment uptime is crucial. With Fuji Electric's clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters, maintenance is made easy:
This responsiveness translates into higher production line availability and greater accuracy in detecting anomalies.
In addition to the purchase cost, manufacturers are increasingly concerned with the total cost of ownership (TCO), which includes maintenance, production stoppages, staff training and spare parts management. Ultrasonic clamp-on flowmeters offer several cost-cutting levers:
This standardized approach streamlines the entire production chain and delivers long-term cost savings.
Clamp on ultrasonic flowmeters are characterized by their versatility. Thanks to their ability to measure without direct contact with the fluid, they are suitable for a wide range of industries, such as :
Thanks to this adaptability, clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters meet the challenges of a wide range of industrial sectors and applications. They are the ideal solution for anyone wishing to improve process performance while controlling operating costs and preserving fluid quality.
