Flexim

Non-Intrusive, Clamp-on Ultrasonic Technologies

From liquids to gases, Emerson’s Flexim non-intrusive, clamp-on ultrasonic flow measurement and refractometer technologies measure virtually anything that flows. Innovative technology and accuracy makes us an industry leader in flow measurement solutions. Clamp-on FLUXUS® flow meters dependably measure the flow of almost all fluids, whether liquid or gas, and excel in measuring steam, without interrupting operations. The WaveInjector® mounting fixture can operate in extreme temperatures, extending the application range of non- intrusive ultrasonic technology to temperatures from -200 to +630 °C (-328 to +1166 °F). And our measuring instruments designed for use in explosive environments, ensure accuracy, safety, and reliability in all conditions.

Testimonials

EASTMAN CHEMICAL

I think we can safely say that ultrasonic flowmeters have finally met their potential. I have taken more than 600 readings with the FLEXIM portable meter, and my success rate is 99.8 percent; and that includes pipes containing acids, water, gasses, and slurries at several hundred degrees. At the end of the day, I collect all the data dumps from the built-in data logger and export it to my spread sheet program.

Now I can accurately put our settings exactly where the factory recommends for optimum performance. But there’s more to it than that. Since our pumps have frequency drives, we can stop running them at full speed. Before the FLEXIM meters, we used butterfly valves and gate valves to back down flow. Now I’m able turn every valve wide open and program the frequency drive to run at the optimum speed to deliver the cooling water.

We now have 20 FLEXIM PIOX ultrasound meters performing well and sending data back in real time. They have improved safety, accuracy and production. I’m pleased at how non-intrusive metering makes my job easier and the plant more efficient by reducing downtime. Before, we couldn’t repair acid leaks on the run because we couldn’t operate without a concentration meter.

It soon became apparent that clamp-on ultrasonic metering was the way to go. I researched all of the meters available and narrowed it down to FLEXIM. We had a few meters in for demonstrations and it won out because it had the features we needed, including a 16-hour battery. It was also the most intuitive and fast to install.

As the building efficiencies continue we also utilize FLEXIM energy meters to upgrade old or non-existent submetering throughout the building. These meters have proven reliable and are perfect for retrofit installations because they are nonintrusive and eliminate the need to cut into piping for installation.
