ORCAS Portable Ultrasonic Clamp-on Flowmeter

Portable ultrasonic clamp-on flowmeter by SoundWater for fast, non-invasive flow readings on 3/4″ to 72″ pipes, with Bluetooth app and built-in data logging.

Portable ultrasonic clamp-on flowmeter designed for speed and ease of use: it captures accurate, reliable flow readings in under one minute, with no need to cut the pipe or stop the system. Readings are shown and logged on a smartphone or tablet through the Orcas app. Distributed in Europe by ELIS PLZEŇ, exclusive partner of SoundWater Technologies (made in the USA).

Ultrasonic transit-time method: transducers send ultrasonic pulses with and against the flow; the transit-time difference is proportional to the flow velocity, from which the electronics calculate instantaneous flow and volume.
