Principally, an instrument designed for clean liquid applications. The instrument is tolerant of liquids with little air bubbles or suspended solids common in most industrial applications. Clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter SL1188 offers low power consumption, high reliability, and outstanding applicability at an economical price. An easy to read display and clear, user-friendly menu selections make using the instrument simple and convenient.

The instrument can be configured via keypad without any additional programming devices, is packaged in a die-cast IP65 housing, and is available in your choice of non-invasive clamp-on or insertion transducer configurations. The SL1188 ultrasonic flow meters feature a self-contained 4-20 mA current loop signal output for instantaneous flow. And there are has two independent temperature inputs for thermal energy monitoring.

Installation Site Selection

It is very important. The profile of fluid flow must fully, be developed to guarantee a highly accurate measurement. Use the guidelines to select a proper installation site:

  • The pipe installed transducer must full fill liquid. Examples,  such as a vertical pipe with flow in an upward direction or a full horizontal pipe.
  • Ensure enough straight pipe length for the installation of the upstream and downstream transducer.

Clamp-on Transducers Installation Methods

Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flowmeters are installed simply by applying the coupling compound on the bottom of the transducers and strapping them to the outside of the pipe. SiteLab Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flowmeters is internationally known for its simple and convenient installation and low maintenance characteristics.
