Ultrasonic Flowmeter for Steam

World’s first clamp-on type

saturated steam flow measurements
Contributes to “visualization” of steam flow and works in combination with EMS to optimize energy
and achieve energy savings.

Installable without turning off steam line

No piping work required
Effective use of steam energy
without pressure loss
Less maintenance costs
due to no moving parts

 Makes it easy to “visualize” steam
Steam used in factories is produced in boilers and then lost due to pipe heat dissipation loss and steam leakage.
This ultrasonic flowmeter for steam can be mounted easily without Plumbing. Operation of equipment is not
necessary to stop when a steam flowmeter is added to the plant. “Visualization” of steam flow can be achieved
in factories and facilities where it was previously difficult to perform. It helps optimum energy savings and energy
management in factories.

Installable with no pipe cutting or flange processing. No moving parts help to reduce regular maintenance costs
Installable without stopping production lines and no steam such as cleaning.
leakage concerns since plumbing is not required.

Conventional: In-line type New: Clamp-on type Enables measurements at low flow rates
Pipe cutting Measurements
Flange processing without cutting pipes The ultrasonic flowmeter can meusure at low flow rate, even
at flow rates of 0.

The ultrasonic sensors do not interfere with the steam flow.

Convertible to mass flow rate
Conventional: In-line type New: Clamp-on type
The measured volume flow measurement and density (fixed
value) input can be converted to mass flow rate and output.
Density correction can also be performed by measuring the
There is pressure loss No pressure loss pressure (4 to 20 mA DC) and temperature (with resistance
bulb) of the saturated steam and inputting as external signal
(AI).

[RS-485 communication enables the following] Measurement principle:

●Setting of parameters ●Checking of received waveforms ●Transit-time difference
●Grasping of trends in measurement data, etc. A pair of sensors are installed on the
outside wall of the pipe, facing each other
diagonally. The sensors emit ultrasonic
pulse in turn, and detect the transit time
difference of the pulse, by which the flow
rate is calculated.
