FLEXIM has been setting standards for 30 years, and with FLUXUS ST portable ultrasonic steam flow meters, boundaries for non-invasive measuring technology have been pushed again.
Non-invasive and efficient
FLUXUS ST measures steam flow non-invasively from the outside of the pipe. Non-invasive steam flow measurement means measuring without any interruption of operation and supply. Since clamp-on ultrasonic transducers are simply mounted on the outside of the pipe, installation requires just minimal effort and no opening of the pipeline.
The acoustic measuring method proves to be impressive with its exceptionally high measuring dynamics, high sensitivity at very low flow velocities and independence to flow direction. Due to this large flow range (flow velocities from 0.01 m/s up to 60 m/s), there is no need to reduce pipe diameter to fit an inline meter’s requirement of minimum flow velocity. Moreover, the non-invasive measurement does not cause any pressure loss. The transducer mounts can be completely insulated to reduce any heat loss to the environment.
With FLUXUS ST portable steam flow meters, for the first time ever, it is possible to capture all steam usage from very low to very high flow rates with one meter size.
Completely maintenance-free
Non-invasive steam flow measurement also means measuring without direct contact with the medium flowing in the pipe. FLUXUS ST has no moving parts. Therefore, FLUXUS ST is not subject to wear and tear and does not require any maintenance.
FLUXUS ST measures volume and mass flow of saturated and superheated steam at temperatures up to 180 °C. The clamp-on ultrasound system is available as both a portable
