Non-intrusive flow measurements on underground drinking water lines
Retrofitting buried pipelines of the drinking water supply system with non-intrusive clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters
Accurate underground drinking water flow measurement technology
For water supply companies, preventing and reducing water loss has always been an economic necessity. Because of the advancing climate change and the associated trend towards drier summers, efficient and resource-saving use of this vital commodity is becoming increasingly important. However facing the challenge of monitoring and managing your drinking water network can be daunting, and expensive metering manholes can be a headache. A maintenance-free flow measurement solution that ensures accurate and permanent measurements without interrupting the water supply is essential.

Product Solutions
The Flexim FLUXUS F532WD Series non-intrusive ultrasonic flow meter is the ideal solution for metering points in the drinking water network. Due to the use of its clamp-on technology, the FLUXUS F532WD Series enables a very simple and cost-effective installation of flow measurement points within an existing water supply network. The Flexim FLUXUS F532 WD Series belongs to the most reliable and accurate non-intrusive ultrasonic flow metering systems - it even measures flow rates as low as 0.03 ft per sec. The transducers are fixed to the pipe with broad stainless steel straps and secured in robust stainless steel housings. The transducers have IP68 protection and reinforced transducer cables.
- Extremely accurate down to flow velocities as low as 0.01 m/s
- No zero calibration needed and permanently drift-free
- Permanent coupling pads
