Non-intrusive ultrasonic flow measurement on pipelines
The BBFM-Q500K-B is a 500 kHz clamp-on ultrasonic flow measurement transducer. Mounted externally, it supports clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters, pipeline flow monitoring, temporary flow testing and measurement on pipes where penetration is undesirable.
The operating range is -40 to +80°C, with pressure up to 3 kgf or 0.3 MPa and IP68 protection.
