Clamp-On Flow Meter for Hazardous Areas

With the FLUXUS F808, Flexim (Germany) moves one step further and have presented their first clamp-on flow meter for liquid measurement in hazardous areas with an FM Class I, Division I approval. The highly rugged FLUXUS F808 flameproof housing is suited for every industrial application - not only offshore.

With its connection and electronic compartment being hermetically sealed, the FLUXUS F808 provides for maximum operational safety and is especially designed for use in rough industrial environments such as chemical and petrochemical plants.

In conjunction with the extremely robust transducers and the PERMAFIX transducer mounting fixture (Stainless Steel SS316), which ensures a permanent contact pressure to the pipe wall and an extreme mechanical stability, the FLUXUS F808 is the most reliable ultrasonic clamp-on flow meter available. Since the ultrasonic transducers are mounted on the outside of the pipe, the system does not suffer from wear, tear, or clogging. Moreover, the system is not susceptible to pressure drops and leaks.

Not only is the FLUXUS F808 rugged, it also offers an unmatched zero stability due to carefully matched and temperature compensated transducers (fully ANSI / ASME compliant). Highly innovative digital signal processing within the flow meter insures the most reliable, repeatable and accurate bidirectional flow measurement over a wide turndown ratio.

The FLUXUS F808 flow meter can be applied at inner pipe diameters ranging from 1/4 inch up to 20 feet and more independent of pipe material, wall thickness and liquid viscosity. Even liquid streams with a high content of solids or gas bubbles are not a problem due to the innovative HybridTrek mode, and the unique signal processing implemented into the flow computer.
