  • Page 7: Introduction

    2 Introduction 2 Introduction Clamp-on transit- The KATflow 150 is an ultrasonic flowmeter employing clamp-on sensors for the time flowmeter measurement of liquids in full, enclosed pipes. Flow measurements can be under- taken without interruption of the process or interference with the integrity of the pipeline.

    3 Installation KATflow 150 3.2 Clamp-on sensor installation The correct selection of the sensor location is crucial for achieving reliable meas- urements and high accuracy. Measurement must take place on a pipe in which sound can propagate (see Acoustic propagation) and in which a rotationally sym- metrical flow profile is fully developed (see Straight pipe lengths).
