Measurement of liquid
SITRANS FS Ultrasonic flowmeters are suitable for measuring the flow of liquids with good
acoustic permeability, independent of conductivity, viscosity, temperature, density and
pressure.
The SITRANS FSS100 is ideal for installation in a new system. Compared to an ultrasonic
clamp-on flowmeter, the sensors are installed directly into the existing pipe system. After
installing the sensors and transmitter, you have an uncalibrated inline flowmeter. It is a much
cheaper solution than installing an inline flowmeter with a tube into the system. The sensors
for measurement are mounted directly in the pipe and send the ultrasonic signal through the
medium. This enables very precise flow measurement and is independent of the pipe wall
thickness. SITRANS FSS100 sensors can be installed in almost any pipe, e.g. concrete pipes or
pipe systems that have a liner.
When installing on an existing system, it must be taken out of operation, the pipes emptied
and, if necessary, decontaminated. The installation effort takes one to two days, depending
on the number of sensors and the pipe system. Mechanical work on the pipe (drilling and
welding) is required.
Applications and use of the SITRANS FSS100
• Raw water, water treatment, drinking water
• Water distribution
• Irrigation
• Power plants
• Thermal power plants and district heating supply
• Demineralized water
