FLUXUS® is ... ______

FLUXUS® measures flow non-intrusively using ultrasonic technology.

The ultrasonic transducers are simply clamped on to the outside of the pipe and are never in contact with the liquid – pipe work is not necessary.

Our non-intrusive clamp-on technology provides for maximum flexibility and the sophisticated electronics of FLUXUS® ensure the highest possible accuracy and reliability. The measuring system, consisting of the transmitter, the transducers and the VARIOFIX mounting fixture, can optimally be configured to meet your individual requirements.

The FLUXUS® flowmeter series comprises a broad variety of transmitters and transducers: from basic models for standard applications up to robust measurement solutions for offshore use or for hazardous area metering locations.

Our Tradition is Innovation

Intelligent Signal Processing

Ever since its inception, FLEXIM has been among the pioneers in the field of ultrasonic flow measurement. Each FLUXUS® embodies the wealth of expertise and application experience of our engineers.

FLUXUS® instruments feature an exceptionally robust dual-μP technology core together with the latest digital signal processing. They produce stable and reliable results even under the most difficult application conditions.

The FLUXUS® measurement algorithms automatically adapt to the varying application conditions. Its very high measurement rate of up to 1000 measurements per second allows for a real time statistical analysis. All this makes the FLUXUS® unsurpassed in performance and one of the most capable ultrasonic flow meters available on the market today.

FLEXIM rises to meet the challenges where others have already failed. Put FLEXIM’s experience and expertise to work for you. Submit your application to us and we will find the ideal solution!

Flexible. ______

From 6 mm tubing to 6.5 m penstocks

Up to 400 °C and beyond

FLEXIM’s non-intrusive ultrasonic technology suits an unmatched range of applications. FLUXUS® offers accurate and reliable measurements from the smallest pipes (e.g. 6 mm tubing in paint finishing systems) up to very large pen-stocks (e.g. flow measurements in hydroelectric plants).

Standard transducers may be used for media temperatures up to 130 °C, the temperature range of the high temp. versions extends this up to 200 °C. The patented WaveInjector® system further extends the measurement range of FLEXIM’s standard transducers from cryogenic temperatures as low as -190 °C up to 400 °C and beyond.

For nearly every liquid and pipe material

... even in hazardous area locations

Measurement is possible on just about every liquid medium and pipe material, regardless of the conductivity. Steel, iron or plastic pipes; sludge, sand, acids or tar: FLUXUS® is up to the task!

Transducers and transmitters are available in ATEX, IECEx and FM certified versions.

Non-intrusive. ______

The advantages of the non-intrusive measurement are obvious: since the ultrasonic transducers are simply attached to the outside of the pipe, the measuring equipment is not subject to wear and tear by the media and does not cause any pressure losses.

Measurements at maximum operating pressures can be carried out easily with no additional costs. No pipe work is required when setting up the measuring point and, as a result, the operation is not interrupted.

User-Friendly. ______

“Plug & Play” calibrated transducers Each pair of transducers undergoes a rigorous calibration at the factory and is shipped with traceable calibration documentation. All calibration data (including the transducer identification and parameters) is stored in a transducerresident non-volatile memory. It is automatically transferred to the transmitter upon connection. Consequently, programming errors are eliminated and there is never a need for zero adjustment or calibration.

Guaranteed to be user friendly No elaborate instructions are required to use FLUXUS®‘s intuitively structured menus. Pipe and material parameters are easily found in the internal liquid media and pipe materials database. Measurement is activated with just a few key strokes. Our explosionproof instruments can be operated without having to open the housing and without requiring any additional programming devices.

A “Straight-Shot” from the pipe to the PC FluxData connects FLUXUS® to any PC. This software package with a graphical user interface takes care of the data exchange between the transmitter and the computer. With FluxData, you can readily transfer your measurement data from the flowmeter to a PC, analyze and visualize the measuring results and manage the data files directly or easily export them to an external data management program for analysis.

Flow velocity:

0.01 to 25 m/s

Resolution:

0.25 mm/s

Repeatability:

0.15% of reading ± 0.01 m/s

Accuracy*: - with standard calibration: - with extended calibration (option): - with field calibration**:

± 1.6 % of reading ± 0.01 m/s ± 1.2 % of reading ± 0.01 m/s ± 0.5 % of reading ± 0.01 m/s

Gaseous and solid content:

< 10 %

* for measurement acc. to transit time difference principle, under reference conditions and at v > 0.15 m/s ** reference uncertainty < 0.2 %

Measuring principle The Transit Time Difference Correlation Principle makes use of the fact that the time-of-flight of an ultrasonic signal is affected by the flow velocity of the carrier medium. Like a swimmer working his way across a flowing river, an ultrasonic signal travels slower upstream than downstream.

Our instruments work according to this transit-time principle: an ultrasonic pulse is sent downstream through the medium, another pulse is sent upstream. By measuring the transit time difference, the average flow velocity can be determined. The volume flow can then be calculated out of the flow velocity and the pipe’s dimensional parameters.

The acoustic measuring method works without inertia and is independent of the flow direction. As a result, FLUXUS® measures the flow bidirectionally with excellent measurement rangeability.

Industry Hardened. ______

The Transducer System â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fit for the Purposeâ&#x20AC;&#x153; Construction All FLEXIM clamp-on transducers are watertight and suitable for use in harsh industrial environments. The robust stainless steel construction and the rugged integrated cables guarantee reliable measurement results over long periods of extensive use. Almost all transducer types are available in explosion-protected and IP68 submersible versions.

Robust transducer mounting fixtures Be it for quick and easy mounting of a short-term measurement solution or for a permanent installation, for large pipes or for small tubes: FLEXIM offers transducer mounting fixtures for every application.

The VARIOFIX mounting fixture provides for a strong hold. Even in the event of strong temperature fluctuations, a continuous, stable contact pressure between the transducers and the pipe is ensured, allowing for the optimal irradiation of measuring signals into the medium.

The VARIOFIX transducer mounting fixture exists in two versions: VARIOFIX L and VARIOFIX C.

8

Both are constructed of stainless steel, being completely corrosion resistant and very durable. The transducer distance can be set easily and precisely.

Maintenance requirements are reduced considerably due to the permanent pipe wall contact with coupling pads.

VARIOFIX L is the standard transducer mounting fixture and VARIOFIX C provides for optimum protection even in the harshest conditions: beneath the stainless steel cover, the measuring point is permanently protected against external influences, wind and weather as well as mechanical damage.

Portable, quick and reliable. ______

FLUXUS® F601 and F608

Unmatched in performance, this flexible and easy to use flow meter is the ideal tool for the support of service and maintenance activities. It can also be used for the control or even for the temporary replacement of permanently installed meters.

The wide pipe diameter range of each transducer type is one of its greatest assets: two pairs of transducers are sufficient to cover the most common pipe diameter ranges.

In addition, its optional thermal energy measurement capability makes it possible to carry out a complete analysis of thermal energy usage in any facility. The collected data can be used to perform a complete energy balance assessment or to assist during process monitoring and optimization tasks.
