Overview

About the LWM Wall Mount Ultrasonic Flow Meter.

The LWM wall mount ultrasonic flow meter measures liquid flow in closed pipes by the transit-time method, with ±1% accuracy across pipe sizes from DN15 to DN6000. The wall-mounted converter works with three transducer types: clamp-on and insertion transducers fit without cutting off the water and cause no pressure loss, while in-line transducers give high accuracy and stability. It handles any single liquid that transmits sound, including hot, chilled, city, sea and waste water, oils, chemicals, plant effluent and beverages. With Pt100 temperature transducers connected, the meter also performs heat and energy measurement.

Features

  • Transit-time principle, accuracy ±1%
  • Pipe sizes DN15 to DN6000
  • Three installation methods: clamp-on, insertion and in-line
  • Converter IP67, transducers IP68 (can work under water to 2 m depth)
  • High-temperature clamp-on transducers to 160 °C
  • Outputs: 4–20 mA, OCT pulse and relay
  • Three 4–20 mA inputs for temperature, pressure or level signals
  • Isolated RS485 with Modbus; software upgrade by computer
  • Heat and energy measurement with Pt100 temperature transducers
  • Optional SD card memory for long-term data logging and reporting
  • Easy maintenance

Models
