BUYER'S GUIDE

Top Clamp on Flow Meters

Clamp on flow meters come in several forms. Some stay in place to track flow over long periods of time. Others are carried from site to site for short studies or maintenance work. There are versions built to measure heat energy, and versions designed for locations where safety ratings matter. All of them measure flow through the pipe wall, so the liquid stays undisturbed and the system keeps running.

Each type of clamp on meter supports a different kind of job. Permanent meters handle everyday monitoring. Portable meters help with inspections, troubleshooting and system checks. Heat meters track flow and temperature for energy work. Explosion proof models are built for areas that require specific safety protection. Understanding these four groups makes it easier to know where each one fits and which direction to explore next.
