Micronics D5500 Clamp On Doppler Flow Meter

The D5500 is a portable clamp on transit time ultrasonic flow meter designed for a wide range of industrial and commercial liquid applications. It uses paired external transducers to measure flow from outside the pipe which allows installers to obtain accurate flow readings without cutting or modifying the system. The instrument supports multiple flow measurement modes and offers both single channel and dual channel configurations for situations where two independent lines or measurement paths are required.

The meter is housed in a rugged portable enclosure with an integrated graphic display and keypad for field operation. It supports pipe sizes from small bore tubing up to large industrial pipework and works on a broad range of clean liquids with low suspended solids. The unit includes a high capacity data logger with USB export and provides pulse analogue and Modbus communication outputs for integration with supervisory or building management systems. It is built for commissioning work troubleshooting and long term portable monitoring where detailed flow information is required.

Doppler ultrasonic flow meter for non intrusive measurement of fluids containing solids or bubbles.
The UFD5500 uses an external Doppler sensor to measure flow in wastewater, slurries, and other difficult liquids with no contact, no fouling, and no pressure drop.
