Water and Gas Monitoring at Smelters
One Non-Intrusive Solution for All Smelter Types to Monitor Water and Gas Flow
Clamp-on solution for process control without downtime
Smelters are essential in metal production because they extract metals from their ores by using heat and chemical reactions. They separate metals from impurities, creating pure metal that can be used in manufacturing. Smelters enable the production of a wide range of metals like iron, copper, zinc, and aluminum, and they help in refining these metals to the desired purity for industrial applications.
There are different types of smelters, which use water and gas for their operation. All have to be constantly monitored.
The most frequent flow-measuring applications are as follows:
- Cooling water / glycol
- Furnace gas
- Nitrogen / Methane / Propane / Oxygen / Argon etc.

Product Solutions
The Flexim FLUXUS F731 is a technological breakthrough in the ultrasonic clamp-on volume and mass flow measurement of liquids. Highly sophisticated signal filters, faster than ever processing capacities and advanced measurement algorithms make the FLUXUS F731 ultrasonic clamp-on liquid flow meter the standard-setting measuring solution for any industrial application. With the new Synchronised Channel Averaging (SCA) method and flow profile correction, the F731 ultrasonic flowmeter is ready for the most challenging conditions.
- Accuracy and repeatability - exceptional reliability and accuracy at high and low flows due to matched, calibrated and temperature compensated transducers, advanced signal processing capabilities and diagnostics.
- Easy installation without process interruptions - an externally mounted system means no need for process interruptions or additional engineering costs.
- Maintenance-free - no contact with flowing media results in a completely maintenance- free and durable metering solution to withstand even the harshest environments.

The Flexim FLUXUS F731 WD non-intrusive ultrasonic flow meter is the perfect flow measurement solution for drinking water and wastewater applications. It enables a very simple and cost-effective clamp-on installation of flow measurement points within an existing water supply and wastewater infrastructure. The Flexim FLUXUS F731 WD belongs to the most reliable and accurate non-intrusive ultrasonic flow metering systems. It even measures flow velocities as low as 0.01 m/s (0.03 ft/s) – ideal for leak detection and night flow measurements. Thanks to permanent coupling of the transducers onto the pipe and the IP68 protection, it is suitable for installations in chambers and for buried or flooded installations. Compared to the F532 WD, the F731 WD serves pipes with diameters of over 2000 mm (79 in), offers dual channel measurements and comprehensive communication combinations.
- Extremely accurate down to flow velocities as low as 0.01 m/s (0.03 ft/s).
- No zero-calibration needed and permanently drift-free.
- Permanent coupling foil.

The Flexim FLUXUS G601 portable clamp-on ultrasonic gas flow meter measures the flow of virtually any gas using our proven transit-time correlation technique. The ultrasonic transducers are simply clamped onto the outside of the pipe, meaning no cutting into the pipe or process interruption is required for installation. This highly accurate flow meter for use in hazardous areas allows for accurate readings, allowing for an inherently bi-directional gas flow measurement of operational and standard volume flows. As the transducers are mounted on the outside of the pipe wall, the system does not suffer from wear and tear or clogging, can’t be a risk for leaks and will not cause any pressure drops inside the pipe.
- Portable, easy-to-use gas flow meter with 2 flow channels, multiple inputs / outputs and an integrated data logger with a serial interface.
- Automatic loading of calibration data and transducer detection, reducing set-up times and providing precise, long-term stable results.
- Li-Ion battery providing over 14 hours of remote measurement operation.
