TTFM 6.1 Transit-Time Flow Meter

The TTFM 6.1 Transit-Time Flow Meter from Pulsar Measurement accurately measures the flow rate of fluids in full pipes. This clamp-on, ultrasonic flow meter measures flow from outside a pipe with no contact with process fluid. It is easy to install and shutdown-free. Configuration is simple and a calibration certificate included.
