Training in the Use of Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flowmeters

Course overview

This course is designed to increase delegates' understanding of clamp-on flowmeters in order to improve water flow measurement. Upon course completion, learners will be able to:

• Understand when clamp-on flowmeters can offer a viable alternative to other meter types
• Successfully deploy and use clamp-on flowmeters
• Effectively use clamp-on flowmeters for permanent, semi-permanent and temporary installations
• Use clamp-on flowmeters to obtain data for water balance, leakage, meter verification and other applications

Who can benefit?

Delegates may include those using or directing the use of clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters for water flow measurement. Participants may also be drawn from any area of business or service where knowledge in the use of clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters impacts on their decision making, such as consultant engineers or manufacturers.

Training outline

• What is a clamp-on flowmeter
• How clamp-on flowmeters work
• Where they are used
• Difficulties and limitations of their use
• Programming a typical clamp-on meter
• Conditions that affect performance and use of diagnostics
• Depending on the client's preferred delivery location, a practical session at WRc's on-site flow rig is used to demonstrate and explain working principles in a real-life context.
