ULTRASONIC FLOWMETER <
DATA SHEET
This flowmeter is a fixed type ultrasonic flowmeter based on transit-time measuring method. Thanks to micro-processor based electronics, the flowmeter can be easily configured from the keyboard to specific applications, the flowmeter is suitable for liquid flow measurements for pipe size 50mm to 6000mm diameter. The flowmeter is a compact and light-weight instrument incorporating the latest electronics and high speed digital signal processing technologies (32bit MPU), realizing high performance and easy operation. This high performance flowmeter is capable of realizing a simultaneous 2-path or 2-pipe system.

FEATURES
1. Compact and light-weight This flowmeter is designed through use of the latest electronics and digital signal processing technologies. 2. Full variety of sensors The flowmeter can be used with various types of sensors applicable for small to large pipe (ø50 to ø6000mm) and low to high fluid temperature (-40 to +200°C). 3. High accuracy The flowmeter is designed for high accuracy (better than ±1.0% of rate) by dynamic correction of fully-developed flow profile. Reynolds Number is calculated and a meter factor (K) is automatically applied for best accuracy at all flow velocities. The adoption of new sound velocity measurement system permits measurements of fluids of unknown sound velocity with slightly affecting from fluid temperature and pressure. 4. Excellent resistance against aerated flow Fuji' s unique ABM feature improves measurement reliability for different flows like slurries, sludge, raw sewage and bubble-contained flow (acceptable up to air bubbles of 12% volume at 1m/s velocity). 5. Simultaneous 2-path or 2-pipe system Average flow rate on 2 propagation paths can be measured simultaneously with less influence from changes in time of flow profile. And also flow measurement in two separate pipes with one FLH3 can be realized for calculating functions of flow. 6. Excellent performance and easy operation Large LCD and function keys allow easy configuration and trouble shooting. – LCD with back light – Easy mounting of sensor – Trouble shooting Small sensor (FLW12)

(Note)
1. High turbid fluid or scales sticking on the internal wall of pipes may interrupt the ultrasonic propagations. Previous check with a portable type ultrasonic flowmeter is recommended. 2. In case of cast iron pipes or pipes with lining, the Large sensor is recommended rather than the Middle sensor. 3. If the pipe has poor inside surface conditions or highly attenuating fluids, you may not be able to a reliable signal, therefore you should use the ”FLW50˝ sensor.
