Thermal Energy – BTU metering with clamp-on ultrasonic meters

Sponsored by FLEXIM AMERICAS

Sustainable energy and energy reduction goals are driving the need for more accurate and smart BTU metering. Since the early 1980’s ultrasonic clamp-on Flow meters have been utilized for BTU metering and submetering. Some of the features and benefits of clamp-on meters are; retrofit capability - no pipe works, no shutdown, single system – flow and BTU meter all in one, excellent low flow sensitivity for measuring off peak flows, and 1% accuracy. In this presentation we will cover clamp-on BTU metering concepts, attributes, accuracy, and provide some case studies.
