  • Page 8: Nameplate

    2.1 Introduction Tek-Clamp 1200A Ultrasonic Clamp-on Flow meter is designed to measure the velocity of liquid in a full/closed pipe. It operates according to the difference in the Transit Time of Flight measured and determines the flow velocity by measuring the travel time of a pulse from one transducer to the next.
  • Page 9 Fig 1: Tek-Clamp 1200A-100H Handheld Ultrasonic Flow Meter The Tek-Clamp 1200A-100H has been developed to measure the flow velocity of liquids in pipes. The non-contact transducers/sensors are placed on the pipes and thus not subject to wear and tear.

    For example: Do not install the Tek-Clamp 1200A-100F1 flow meter where it will be difficult for the personnel to perform periodic maintenance.
  • Page 15: Installation Of The Transducer

    3.3 Installation of the Transducer Installation of Tek-Clamp 1200A-100 series is the easiest and convenient way in the installation of all flow meters. Just choose a suitable measurement point, input the pipe parameters of this pipe point to the flow meter, and then fix the transducers on the pipe.
  • Page 16: Sensor Installation

    3.3.1.2 Sensor Installation The Tek-Clamp 1200A-100H has piezoelectric sensors which can transmit and receive ultrasonic waves. The ultrasonic waves pass through the pipe walls, and the liquid allows conclusions about the flow velocity. As the transit time of the ultrasonic pulses is very short, the sensors should be installed as precisely as possible to ensure the highest system accuracy.
  • Page 17: Spacing Between The Sensors

    • Moreover, you should make sure there is no dust or sand between the pipe and the sensor. To avoid air bubbles from causing measurement errors, place the sensors on the pipe laterally. 3.3.1.3 Spacing Between the Sensors The distance between the upstream and the downstream sensor can be seen in window M25.
  • Page 18: Length Of The Straight Pipe

    Length of the straight pipe The length of upstream and downstream straight pipe of the ultrasonic transducer should be long enough to ensure accurate measurements. • For 90 bend Fig 5: 90 bend pipe • For Tee bend L≥10D Fig 6: Tee bend pipe GlobalTestSupply www.

Transducer Installation Method Before installing, start by cleaning the installation area: remove any rust, paint, and anti-rust layers.

  • Page 22: Installation Space

    3.3.3.1 Installation Space Installation space of the clamp-on type transducer is the inner distance between the two transducers when they are facing each other. After giving the input of the required parameters to the menu of the converter, check the display on the parameter M25 to get the installation space.
  • Page 23: Installation Method

    3.3.3.2 Installation Method There are two types of the installation methods i.e. the V method and the Z method. • V method Fig 13: V-Method Installation V method is a standard installation method and convenient to use for precise measurement of flow. While installing the two transducers, they’re horizontally aligned.
  • Page 24 • W method Normally, this type of mounting used when the material of pipe is plastic and had diameter of 10 millimetre to 100 millimetre. for small pipe size like 1/2" ,W & Z type method is more accurate than V & also convenient for installation as it provides better spacing distance than V method.
  • Page 25: Instrument Well Construction Requirements

    3.4 Instrument Well Construction Requirements To install transducers in an instrument well, there must be enough installation room and should be convenient for people to stand up and work. Distance between the pipe wall and well wall is at least above 22-inch, width is more than (D+22x2) inch, cement pipe width is more than (D+28x2) inch, and the instrument well axial width L is more than D+48 inch.
