Micronics launches clamp-on flow metering device

Micronics has developed an alternative to cutting pipes and mechanical meters for significant installation savings and simple, accurate flow measurement from outside the pipe.

Sub-metering of hot and chilled water services to monitor, control and manage water and energy consumption is an area of growing demand in building services and energy management.

The installation process including system drain down and pipe cutting has always been a significant cost and barrier to wider application of sub-metering.

Micronics, manufacturer of clamp-on, ultrasonic meters, has launched the U1000, the cost-engineered, factory configured water flow measurement system to facilitate the wider use of water sub-metering and flow measurement for energy monitoring.

The U1000 is a simple out of the box, onto the pipe meter or flow measurement solution with no programming or specialist engineering required.

Once provided with pipe size measurements, Micronics will send you a factory configured meter, ready to clamp-on and produce flow information in minutes.

All you have to do is clamp the unit to the pipe, release the sensor clamps, connect power and enter the pipe size.

Another cost effective alternative to expensive in-line meter installation from Micronics, plus dry servicing, providing minimum downtime and maximum availability.

The U1000 is a transit time ultrasonic flow meter designed to work with clamp-on transducers, to provide accurate measurement of liquid flowing within a closed pipe, without the need for any mechanical parts to be inserted through the pipe wall or to protrude into the flow system.
