Could Installing a Flow Meter Get Any Easier?
These issues and more can make the addition of a flow measurement point seem impossible. But is it really?
Did you ever consider or think that you could just clamp a device to a pipe and measure flow and measure it accurately? What are you currently using for flow measurement and meter verification in your plant?
Clamp-on ultrasonic flow can help with many of the adverse conditions listed above and the new Siemens SITRANS FS230 digital platform clamp on ultrasonic flow meter can expand on the traditional versatility of clamp-on technology. Now you can measure flow where...
You have less than desirable pipe straight run by using either a multiple path ultrasonic and/or by utilizing the Siemens patented pipe configuration software.
Deal with pulsating flow: the FS230 offers the fastest update rate in the industry.
Complicated set ups are no longer required. The menu driven wizards of the FS230 makes setting up the transmitter easy, even for the most challenging applications.
You need an understanding of what’s going on in your process measurement. Siemens offers diagnostics that open the window into your process, providing variables not offered by any other flow meter on the market.
You have a wide range of pipe sizes where measurement is required. Installation is available on line sizes from 0.5” to 394”; and because it is clamp-on technology, it isn’t affected by pressure in the process line.
Cutting into the pipe is not an option. Our clamp-on meter is designed to mount easily on the outside of the pipe, and doesn’t require the shut down of your process for installation.
Just when you thought there wasn’t a measurement solution for the areas in your plant that may not have been designed around flow instrumentation, you can now take advantage of the fact that Siemens has engineered solutions to alleviate these problems.

Flow measurement is more critical in more areas of a plant than ever before. Do you have places in your process where you now wish you had included a process flow measurement? Are there problems in those locations where making a quality measurement is difficult? Things like process lines you can’t shut down, pipes you can’t cut into, specially lined pipe or exotic pipe materials because of the nature of the process, non-ideal pipe runs, high pressure process lines or difficult process mediums?
