Flowmeter

Accusonic Flowmeters are used in large pipes, channels, buried conduits and rivers for high-accuracy flowrate measurement. The systems use the multiple-parallel-path acoustic transit-time method to measure flow velocities at discrete elevations in the measurement section. Real-time flowrates are determined by integration of the flow velocity profile achieving accuracy of up to 0.5% of flowrate.

Accusonic delivered its first multipath system in 1968. Since then over 2500 systems have been installed in pipelines up to 15 meters in diameter, and in open channels up to 500 meters wide. A wide range of transducers is available to accommodate installation in virtually any pipe or channel.

 The New Accusonic Model 788 Portable Clamp-On Flowmeter

The Accusonic Model 788 us a hand-held transit-time flowmeter for use on clean liquid applications in full pipes.  The instrument can be configured for pipe sizes ranging from 1/2" to 200" in diameter.  Applications include leak detection, plant surveys, in-line flowmeter verification, and pump performance testing.  

The New Accusonic Model 798 Permanent Clamp-On Flowmeter

The Accusonic Model 798 is a permanently mounted transit-time flowmeter for use on clean liquid applications in full pipes.  The system provides continuous, real-time measurement and reporting on pipe sizes ranging from 1" to 236" in diameter.  The system offers accurate and reliable flow measurement in single path, 2 path, or 4 path configurations.

 

Model 7500 Flowmeter 

The Accusonic Model 7500 Flowmeter offers the latest available technology for reliable precision flow measurement over a broad range of large pipe applications. The Model 7500 provides flexible configurations for flow monitoring in pressurized pipes, penstocks, low-head hydro intakes and conduits. 

 

 

Model 7510+ Multiple Path/Channel Transit-Time Flowmeter

The Accusonic Model 7510+ multiple path/channel transit-time flowmeter is designed for accurate, reliable flow measurement in large pipes and open channels. In various configurations, the 7510+ measures flow in pressurized pipes, open channels, and in pipes and conduits ranging from partially full to surcharged. The 7510+ is ideal for measurement in a wide variety of industries and applications. One 7510+ can be configured to measure flow in up to 4 pipes or channels.

 

 

Model 7510+P Pipe/Open Channel Meter and Leak Detection System

The Accusonic Model 7510+P flowmeter console is designed for accurate, reliable flow measurement in pipes and penstocks. When used as a 4 parallel or 8 crossed-path flowmeter on pressurized pipes, the 7510+P measures flow to within ±0.5% of actual flowrate when installed according to Accusonic specifications. 

 

 

7530 Flow Efficiency Monitoring System

The Accusonic Model 7530 measures on-line individual unit and total plant discharge and efficiency. The system provides the operator with this data in addition to best gate and best combinations of gate settings. This allows the plant engineer or operator to increase unit and plant efficiency based on actual measured performance.
