Can a Clamp-On Flow Meter Be Installed Without Shutting Down the Pipeline?
Clamp-on ultrasonic meters mount on the outside of a live, pressurised pipe — no cutting, no hot tap, no drain-down, no shutdown. How live installation works, how long it takes, and the conditions that matter.

What Factors Affect Clamp-On Ultrasonic Flow Meter Accuracy?
A clamp-on meter can read to ±0.5% — or far worse — depending on installation. The nine factors that determine accuracy, from pipe data and surface prep to signal quality, and how to optimise each one.
