Clamp-on ultrasonic flow measurement for steam

Fuji Electric has made a significant breakthrough in steam measurement by creating the world's first clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter for steam. By exploiting this cutting-edge technology, industries can improve accuracy, save time and reduce costs.


World's first clamp-on saturated steam ultrasonic flowmeter

first non-intrusive ultrasonic saturated steam flow meter

Non-intrusive ultrasonic saturated steam flowmeter capable of measuring steam flow without the need to cut the pipe.

It was previously difficult to measure the steam flow used in factories in various industrial sectors, but this flowmeter can now be installed even when the equipment is in operation.

Measure the steam flow with precision thanks to a new noise reduction technology, whatever the pressure (from 0.1 MPa (G)) and temperature (up to 180 ° C).
