Low Flow Sensor DN8-DN40

The RBFM-MK Series clamp-on flow sensor is special designed for small pipe and ultrasonic low flow rate and Cost-Effective Flow Solutions, it's easily installed, without any pipe modifcation, by simply clamping to theoutside of a pipe, tube or hose. This RBFM-MK series provides stable fow rate measurement regardless of the pipe or liquid. in addition to metal and hard plastic piping can also be supported. This productcan not only measure the flow rates of various liquids such as water, Dl water, oil, chemicals, and high temperatures, and highly viscous liquids, Connecting a concentration sensor and temperaturesensor allows for the centralized management of multiple parameters, helping improve product quality, and decrease costs.

Measuring flow in small pipes(DN8-DN40) with low flow rates can be a complex task fraught with accuracy challenges and technical difficulties. Traditional methods often require invasive installations that disrupt the system and are costly to maintain. Enter the economical clamp-on transit time ultrasonic flowmeters: a non-invasive solution that promises to simplify this challenge. These devices attach externally to the pipe, causing no disruption to the flow, and provide accurate measurements by utilizing ultrasonic waves to calculate fluid velocity. This introduction will guide you through the principles and advantages of using these innovative tools for your low-flow applications.

Principle

RBFM-MK Series Clamp-On Transit Time Ultrasonic Flowmeters for Small Pipes and Low Flowrate Principle:

The operating principle of an ultrasonic flow meter, specifically a transit-time difference flow meter, is fascinating. In this design, paired ultrasonic transmitters and receivers (also called transducers) are mounted opposite each other in the pipe. These transducers then alternately transmit and receive ultrasonic waves, calculating the flow rate based on the difference in transit times.
One of the key aspects of this technology is its accuracy. Unlike other types of flow meters, ultrasonic devices can measure a vast range of velocities, from very slow to very fast flow speeds, all with remarkable precision.
