The TUF-2000B is a wall-mounted ultrasonic flow meter. It measures liquid flow without changing your pipes. This non-invasive meter uses clamp-on transducers. They attach to the outside of pipes from DN15 to DN700. This makes installation fast and simple. Features and Benefits
- No Pipe Cutting - This clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter installs without shutting down your system. The sensors strap to the pipe outside. This means no pressure drop or risk of leaks.
- Works with Many Pipes - It works with many pipe materials and sizes. These range from DN15 (1/2") to DN700 (28"). The kit includes transducers for your specific needs.
- Accurate Digital Reading - The digital liquid flow transducer gives readings with ±1% accuracy. The main unit shows the current flow rate, total volume, and liquid speed.
- Measures Different Liquids - This ultrasonic water flowmeter isn't just for water. It can accurately measure other uniform liquids. These include seawater, oils, and some chemicals. Applications
- Monitor Water Use - Track water use in commercial buildings, farm irrigation, or city systems. Installing this wall-mounted ultrasonic flow meter is simple.
- Industrial Process Control - Use this flow meter to check coolants, fuels, or chemical flows in a factory. The non-contact design keeps things clean.
- HVAC System Checks - Look at and balance flow rates in heating and cooling systems. This helps confirm the system runs well and saves energy costs.
Key Functions
A flow meter, such as this Wall-Mount Digital Transducer, is a device used for measuring the flow rate of a liquid. This specific model is designed for liquid flow measurement and utilises an ultrasonic measurement principle. It is suitable for pipes ranging from DN15 to DN700. The wall-mounted design allows for secure and permanent installation, providing continuous monitoring of flow in various industrial and commercial applications. Understanding how to interpret the digital readings is key to its effective use in monitoring liquid movement.
Common Types of Flow Meters
Flow meters come in various forms, each suited for different applications and fluid types. While this product is an ultrasonic flow meter for liquid flow measurement, other common types include electromagnetic, turbine, and Coriolis flow meters. Each type employs a distinct principle to measure flow. For instance, a turbine flow meter uses a rotating turbine to gauge flow, whereas an electromagnetic flow meter relies on Faraday's law of induction. This particular model, a Wall-Mount Digital Transducer, offers a non-invasive ultrasonic method.
Key Types & How They Work
Flow meters measure the rate at which a fluid moves through a pipe. This Wall-Mount Digital Transducer, for example, uses an ultrasonic principle for liquid flow measurement. Other types work differently; for instance, some measure the volume of fluid passing a point over time, while others infer flow from changes in pressure or temperature. The choice of flow meter depends on the specific application, the type of fluid, and the required accuracy. This product is a wall-mounted flowmeter for DN15-700 pipes.
Velocity-Based Meters
Velocity-based meters determine flow by measuring the speed of the fluid as it passes through a pipe. This Wall-Mount Digital Transducer, operating on an ultrasonic principle, is a type of velocity-based meter. It emits ultrasonic waves into the liquid and measures the time it takes for these waves to travel upstream and downstream, calculating the fluid's velocity from the difference. This method allows for non-invasive measurement across a wide range of pipe sizes, specifically DN15 to DN700, as stated for this product.
Differential Pressure (DP) Meters
Differential Pressure (DP) meters measure flow by creating a pressure drop across an obstruction in the flow path. The flow rate is then calculated from the difference in pressure before and after the obstruction. While this Wall-Mount Digital Transducer utilises an ultrasonic measurement principle, DP meters are another common type. They are often used in applications where direct velocity measurement is difficult. Unlike this ultrasonic model, DP meters require direct contact with the fluid and can introduce a pressure loss in the system.

Q: What range of pipe sizes will this flow meter work with? A: This TUF-2000B model is made for a wide variety of pipe sizes. It's compatible with diameters from DN15 (about 1/2 inch) up to DN700 (about 28 inches).. Q: How accurate is this device, and what are its temperature limits? A: It provides measurements with an accuracy of ±1%, which is very consistent for industrial and water management tasks. The transducers are built to operate in temperatures from -30°C to 90°C.. Q: What kinds of liquids can I measure with this ultrasonic flow meter? A: This flow meter is intended for measuring single, uniform liquids, such as water or various oils. It won't give accurate readings on liquids that have a lot of air bubbles or solid particles.. Q: What kind of warranty or support do you offer for this equipment? A: The flow meter comes with a 12-month warranty that covers any manufacturing defects. We also provide technical support if you need help with the installation process or have questions during operation.. Q: What's the primary benefit of using a clamp-on, ultrasonic flow meter like this? A: The biggest advantage is that the installation is non-invasive. The sensors clamp onto the outside of the pipe, so you don't have to cut pipes or shut down your system to install it, saving significant time and labor..
