Ultrasonic meters
January 1st 2008 Glaxo Smith-Kline has
installed non-contact,
clamp-on ultrasonic meters
supplied by Flowline.
Thanks to their non-contact,
non-invasive ultrasonic
principle, the company was
able to install the Minisonic
ultrasonic meters without
the need for any process
shut-down.
Rigorous testing proved
that the Minisonic flow
meters were capable of
handling the fluctuating
temperatures, without
inducing errors on the
measurement.
The Minisonic system
can be used on pipe
diameters from 10mm to
3.3m (up to 10m on some)
and is effective on most
liquids, including those
which are non-conductive.
The unit's non-invasive,
external probes are
clamped on to the pipe for
quick installation and
immediate measurement,
while set-up and operation
can be performed either by
keypad or external software.
Other features include
new digital processing
functions that use multiple
processors resulting in
faster response times. More articles from Flowline Manufacturing Ltd: |
