We are involved in setting up and commissioning process plants and would like to occasionally check the flow in various liquid pipelines. So we are considering the purchase of a portable flow instrument.

I would like information about current manufacturers of reliable portable flow meters to check liquid flow in pipelines for various fluids in our plants for flows up to 2500 m3/h. Perhaps the instruments could be the ultrasonic clamp on type.

Opinions and experience of users of such instruments would be helpful.

Thank you,

I believe Endress and Hauser make these. I've never used their sonic version, but I did look into it once (I have used the magflo and coriolis types of theirs).

I seem to remember that one of their salesmen said they could do a compact (briefcase size) model. I think that you had to permanently fix sensors to the pipework, but you could fix sensors in multiple locations and just have one flowmeter that you could connect up as you please.

Try the following link:

Hope this helps.

While checking with a flow measurement service contractor who was using an instrument from Polysonics USA, I found that the ultrasonic flowmeter could be used with flow in the downward direction. The sensors seem to be easily removable and can be clamped on pipelines of various sizes without too much difficulty.
