Ultrasonic Flow and
Energy BTU Meter
DESCRIPTION
Ultrasonic flow and energy metering systems clamp onto the outside of pipes
without contacting the internal liquid. The technology has many advantages over
other products including low-cost installation, no pressure head loss, no moving
parts to maintain or replace, excellent fluid compatibility, and a wide bidirectional
measuring range that ensures reliable readings even at very low and very high flow
rates. Veris ultrasonic metering products are available in a variety of configurations
that permit selection of an ideal system, no matter what the application.
The monitor is available in two versions: standard flow and energy flow versions.
Energy versions are used in conjunction with dual clamp-on or insert RTD
temperature sensors. The energy flow meter calculates energy usage in BTU or
tons, and it is ideal for retrofit, chilled water, and other HVAC and building
automation applications.
