DFM 6.1 Doppler Flow Meter

The DFM 6.1 Doppler Flow Meter from Pulsar Measurement accurately measures the flow rate of ‘complex’ fluids with suspended solids or entrained air. This clamp-on, ultrasonic non-contacting, flow meter measures flow from outside a pipe with no contact with process fluid.

Advantages

Doppler technology sends a signal through the pipe wall and is reflected off the particles within the liquid, the change in frequency is reflected on the controller in the form of pipe flow measurement
Ideal to monitor flow for ‘difficult’ liquids, or liquids with suspended solids such as wastewater, slurries, sludge, chemicals, viscous liquids, and abrasives
Clamps on the outside of any pipe 12.5 mm inside diameter or larger
Obtains flow measurement readings without interrupting the process
Easy-to-follow, 5-button menu keypad to make setting up quick and easy
Works on the majority of pipe materials
