General US300FM
Specifications Ultrasonic Flowmeter

GS 01G05B03-01E

■ General
US300FM is a ultrasonic flowmeter that measures the
flow in a pipe fully filled with liquid.
It can be fixed to the wall or to the 2B pipe with optional
pipe mounting fixture. The housing and transducers are
made for rough industrial environment.
The measuring principle is based on the influence of the
flowing fluid to the travelling time of sound. The sound is
transmitted through the pipe and the transit time differ-
ence between the forward and backward beams is used
to determine the flow velocity (transit time method).
The measurement is non-intrusive. No cutting of the pipe
is necessary. The measurement is independent of fluid
pressure or conductivity. Owing to its clamp on transduc-
ers the installation is easy.
For the hygienic measurement, there is no risk of
contamination and suitable for ultra clean liquids as the Pipe size: 25 to 6500 mm
transducers do not touch the liquid. Also, there is no risk Pipe and lining material:
of corrosion when used with aggressive media. Carbon steel, Stainless steel, Grey cast iron,
Ductile iron, Copper, Glass, PVC, etc
The instrument can work with up to two pairs of transduc-
