Critical Technical Advantages
-
Non-Invasive Clamp-On Technology: Sensors are mounted to the outside of the pipe wall, meaning there is zero contact with the medium, no pressure loss, and no risk of leakage or contamination. This makes the 93T ideal for ultra-pure water or hazardous chemicals where process integrity is paramount.
-
Universal Compatibility: The system works on virtually all metal (steel, ductile iron, copper) and plastic (PVC, PE, PP) pipes, whether they are lined or unlined. It is even capable of measuring through composite pipe materials.
-
Massive Size Range: With support for diameters ranging from DN 15 to 4000 (1/2″ to 160″), a single 93T kit can cover everything from small dosing lines to massive municipal water mains.
-
Automatic Frequency Scan: To ensure the best possible signal strength and accuracy, the device automatically scans for the optimal ultrasonic frequency. This compensates for variations in pipe wall thickness, material, and liner conditions without manual tuning.
-
Battery-Powered Mobility: The integrated rechargeable battery allows for a full day of fieldwork independent of mains power. The rugged carrying case is designed for the harsh environments of industrial plants and remote utility sites.
-
Verification Capability: The 93T features an integrated data logger and a current input (4-20 mA). This allows it to act as a master meter; you can feed the signal from an existing flowmeter into the 93T to perform real-time accuracy comparisons and verification reports.
-
Data Reliability (HistoROM): The device includes automatic data recovery functions, ensuring that configuration settings and logged data are protected during transport or battery swaps.

Primary Applications
-
Flowmeter Verification: Checking the accuracy of installed electromagnetic, vortex, or turbine meters without removing them from the line.
-
Pump & Valve Testing: Measuring actual flow rates to determine pump efficiency or to identify “passing” valves.
-
Temporary Balancing: Conducting water or energy audits in HVAC and industrial cooling systems.
-
Troubleshooting: Rapidly identifying flow issues in chemical processes where fixed measurement is not available.
-
Leak Detection: Monitoring flow in different sections of a pipe network to pinpoint the location of losses.
