Clamp-on - Ultrasonic Flow Measurement

The flexible SITRANS FS230 brings you a broad range of programmable I/O, communication, approval and NAMUR options, along with 1- or 2-path operation.

Minimize costs and maximize simplicity with the SITRANS FS220, providing basic measurement and configuration options.

The easy-to-use, stand-alone digital ultrasonic pipe wall thickness gauge is an indispensable tool in accurate clamp-on ultrasonic flow measurement.

Product information Siemens is a pioneer in the use of Lamb wave transit-time sensors for clamp-on flow measurement. We call it WideBeam® – and it increases accuracy by reducing sensitivity to any changes in the fluid. How? WideBeam® technology uses the pipe wall as a waveguide to optimize the signal-to-noise ratio and provide a wider area of vibration. These high-performance sensors are designed for steel pipes, but they also work with aluminum, titanium and plastic.

How does an ultrasonic flowmeter work?

When traveling in the same direction as a flowing medium, ultrasonic waves move faster than waves traveling against the flow. Ultrasonic flowmeters use this principle to accurately measure the volume of many liquids and gases – and also to derive parameters like density and viscosity. Watch the video to learn more!

What customers say about Siemens Flow Measurement

EMO Rotterdam

Rotterdam, the Netherlands

Mining

Inside the giant: a stacker-reclaimer’s world of automation

Europe’s largest dry bulk terminal, EMO Rotterdam unloads and ships more than 60 million tons of coal and iron ore each year. EMO’s operations require precision, from instrumentation on the stacker-reclaimer to the control system monitored in the control room.
Siemens instrumentation and control systems link all of EMO’s processes, making the complexities of coal handling at a facility of this size into a smooth, efficient operation.
Among the many Siemens solutions used by EMO include a SITRANS FST020 clamp-on flowmeter, which controls the glycol supply stored in a vessel. This glycol is sprayed on railcar loads of coal to prevent it from freezing in winter.

Wastewater

Accurate measurement of sewage flow made possible by clamp-on technology

Until recently, the majority of Welsh Water's sewage pumping stations had no system in place to measure flow, necessitating potentially dangerous on-site monitoring.
SITRANS FST020 clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters have been installed to allow for remote monitoring of wastewater flow, which helps determine whether pumps are operating efficiently.
"Siemens partnered with us to provide the best possible solutions, support and service, and with their help our operations are now becoming more efficient than ever."
