Ultrasonic flow meters FLOMIC FL5034 and FL5054

Solution for water leaks detectionultrasonic flow meter FL 5034 5054: Solution for water leaks detection

The battery-powered FLOMIC FL5034 and FL5054ultrasonic flow meters are intended for operational and invoicing measurements of instantaneous flow rate,pressure and consumption in water piping in observance of standard EN 14154 in water works, water distribution systems and other industrial applications.
The features of the FLOMIC flow meters make them suitable for water-leak detection and tracking and monitoring of the general condition of water-supply networks.

Ultrasonic flow meter FL 50X4 design

These flow meters are of a compact design with the IP 68 protection class. They are characterised by high measurement accuracy and long-term stability over a wide range of measured values. The meters do not need any external power supply, do not include any moving parts and, have significantly lower hydraulic losses. 
The measurement method utilised by these meters is a single-beam (FL5034) or dual-beam (FL5054) transit-time pulse method based on evaluation of the time needed for an ultrasonic signal to cross the distance between two measuring transductors. In the standard version, the meter measures instantaneous flow rate (in m3/hour) and the total volume of water passed through the meter (in m3) in the given flow direction.
The measured data are converted into passive pulse output signals. The meter output signals can be connected via data transfer systems to remote computer control stations. Flowmeter electronics also includes data storage with various possibility to connect (GSM module, RS232, optical data probe). This feature can be usefull for distance measuring points without electricity.
Flow meters FLOMIC FL 50X4 can effectively save customers costs everywhere, where needs to measure water and is not possible or is expensive to connect to emergy power grid.

Ultrasonic Flow Meters

Ultrasonic flow meters

Ultrasonic flow metersUltrasonic flow meters have been designed for industrial application where they can measure flow rate of a wide range of liquid media, whether electrically conductive or not, including specific corrosive liquids. The scope of application for ultrasonic flow meters covers many functions in practically all industry lines.
In ultrasonic flow meters, the flow rate values are determined from the difference between the travel times of ultrasonic waves propagating in the measured liquid in and against the flow direction.
Ultrasonic flow meters are noted for high accuracy, excellent long-term stability of measurement over a wide range of measured values, low hydraulic losses and simple maintenance. Ultrasonic flow meters are supplied in optional configurations according to the customer requirements, for a wide range of piping sizes. The associated electronic control unit supplies power to the ultrasonic probes, processes the sensor signals and shows the measured values on the meter display. The measured values are also available at optional electric signal outputs.

Main advantages:

  • high measurement accuracy 
  • long-term measurement stability over a wide range of measured values
  • high operational reliability and practically no maintenance requirements
  • extra-low hydraulic losses 
  • optional long-distance transfer of measured data
