Teksco Compu-Flow

CompuFlow Fixed Ultrasonic Flow Meter with Superior Doppler Measurement for Any High Solid-Content Application

  The Teksco CompuFlow FDPD is a fixed ultrasonic doppler flow meter that combines ease of use with accuracy and instant setup. The CompuFlow is best suited for flow measurement applications such as: sludges, slurries, aerated liquids, sewage, dredges, pulp, plastics, and activated sludges. These ultrasonic flow meters use clamp-on sensors or insertion wetted sensors.

The Teksco CompuFlow is housed in a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure. It is perfect for long-term, maintenance-free operation. A typical system is comprised of a converter (display module) and a detector (clamp-on or insertion). This ultrasonic flow meter from Teksco may be set up with sensor cable lengths up to 5000 feet.

Price Starting at $2,100

Technology Explained – Doppler Ultrasonic Flowmeters

Doppler ultrasonic flowmeters are optimized for measuring high solid-content fluids such as sludges and slurries. Doppler flow meters operate by sensing the frequency shifts of signals reflected from moving particles, bubbles, or density difference within a liquid – and producing a linear signal proportional to the flow of the liquid within the pipe. The flow meter converts these frequency shifts to flow rate and total.

Ultrasonic flow meter technology saves time and money while accurately measuring a wide variety of flows. With this technology, the transducers in a doppler ultrasonic flow system are mounted on the outside of the pipe, providing tremendous advantages over more traditional and invasive flow measurement instruments.

These benefits include:

• no system downtime for installation
• no system contamination
• no pressure drop
• no moving parts
• no risk of leaks (simplifies regulatory approval)
• virtually maintenance-free
