  • Page 6: Introduction

    Introduction Clamp-on The IFX-F100 is a hand-held, battery operated ultrasonic flowmeter employ- transit-time flowmeter ing clamp-on sensors for the measurement of liquids in full, enclosed pipes. Flow measurements can be undertaken without interruption of the process or interference with the integrity of the pipeline. The clamp-on sensors are attached to the outside of the pipes.

  • Page 9: Clamp-On Sensor Installation

    IFX-F100 User Manual Clamp-on sensor installation The correct selection of the sensor location is crucial for achieving reliable measurements and a high accuracy. Measurement must take place on a pipe in which sound can propagate (see Acoustic Propagation) and in which a rotationally symmetrical flow profile is fully developed (see Straight Pipe Lengths).

  • Page 10: Installation Location

    Installation location Select an installation location following the recommendations in Table 1 and try to avoid measuring: • in the vicinity of deformations and defects of the pipe, • near welding seams, • where deposits could be building up in the pipe. For a horizontal pipe: Select a location where the transducers can be mounted on the side of the pipe, so that the sound waves emitted by the transducers propagate horizontally in the pipe.

  • Page 16: Clamp-On Sensor Mounting

    Clamp-on sensor mounting Before the sensors can be mounted Sensor mounting • the installation location should have been determined, • a sensor mounting method should be chosen, • the flowmeter must be mechanically and electrically installed, • the sensors must be connected to the flowmeter. Depending on which sensor mounting method is being used, the clamp on sensors are either mounted on the same side of the pipe (Reflection Mode) or on opposite sides of the pipe (Diagonal Mode).
