Simple installation

But the installation process including system drain down and pipe cutting has always been a significant cost and barrier to wider application of sub-metering. The U1000 HM heat/energy meter from Micronics offers a solution.

Offering best value, the clamp-on heat/energy meter complements the company's U1000 clamp-on flow meter and facilitates the wider use of clamp-on ultrasonic flow measurement for water sub-metering and thermal heat/energy measurement. 

The U1000 HM is a simple out of the box, onto the pipe heat/energy metering solution with no programming or specialist engineering required. Just clamp the unit to the pipe, select the pipe size, release the sensor clamps, secure the pre-wired, clamp-on PT100 flow and return temperature sensors and connect power to the pre-wired cable provided.

This cost-effective alternative to expensive in-line meter installation with no drain down or cutting of pipes required plus dry servicing, is said to provide minimum downtime and maximum availability.
