AW-Lake Introduces Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Meters that Install on the Outside of Pipes Without System Shutdown, Flow Obstruction or Pressure Drop

AW-Lake introduces a new series of Clamp-On Ultrasonic Flow Meters that fasten on the outside of vertical or horizontal pipes ranging in size from ½” through 48”. Housed in a water- and dust-tight NEMA 4X polycarbonate enclosure, the Clamp-On Ultrasonic Flow Meters are compatible with a range of metal and plastic pipe materials and “difficult liquids” such as chemicals, viscous liquids, and abrasives that would damage standard flow meters.
