RS485 Wall-Mounted Ultrasonic Flow Meter with Clamp-On Transducer and Transit-Time Technology
ST505 Stationary Ultrasonic Flowmeter

Integrate into your management system to provide remote measurement services.

The ST505 Ultrasonic Flowmeter uses the most reliable digital signal processing technology, transmitting flow measurement for a wide range of liquid and pipe sizes with high accuracy and reliability. Combined with outstanding performance transducers and higher industrial-level materials, Flo-Instruments ensures long-term operation without worry.

Clear menu display selections make using the instrument very convenient. Clamp-on transducers make the unit more flexible over a wide range of applications.

The ST505 ultrasonic flowmeter is based on Transit-Time technology, which provides high measurement accuracy. The ST505 uses a clamp-on transducer that collects flow data simply by clamping onto the outside of the pipe. It never comes into contact with the fluid, preventing liquid pollution, pressure reduction, leakage, and similar issues.

Benefits
  • Measures the actual flow and total consumption of various liquids.
  • No loss of process control, optimization of assets and efficiency, no downtime or expense from calibration.
  • Adaptive signal processing algorithms optimize performance, ensuring accurate measurements even in challenging flow conditions.
  • Clear display interface and LCD display with alarm function, easy to operate and debug.
  • Utilizes transit-time ultrasonic technology to realize bidirectional flow measurement by precisely measuring the time it takes for ultrasonic signals to travel upstream and downstream.
  • Leverages data logging capabilities to analyze historical flow patterns for system optimization.
  • Built-in keypad and simple menu system for fast and easy programming of pipe diameter, pipe material, liquid type, and measurement units.

Installation Methods
V Method

The "V" method is considered the standard method. It usually gives a more accurate reading and is used on pipe diameters ranging from approximately 25 mm to 400 mm (1" ~ 16"). It is convenient to use but still requires proper installation of the transducer, contact on the pipe at the pipe's centerline, and equal spacing on either side of the centerline.

Z Method

The signal transmitted in a "Z" method installation has less attenuation than a signal transmitted with the "V" method. This is because the "Z" method utilizes a directly transmitted (rather than reflected) signal which traverses the liquid only once. The "Z" method is able to measure on pipe diameters ranging from 100 mm to 3000 mm (4" ~ 120").

N Method

With the "N" method, the sound waves traverse the fluid twice and bounce three times off the pipe walls. It is suitable for small pipe diameter measurement. The measurement accuracy can be improved by extending the transit distance with the "N" method (uncommonly used).

W Method

As with the "N" method, the measurement accuracy can also be improved by extending the transit distance with the "W" method. The sound waves traverse the fluid four times and bounce four times off the pipe walls. It is suitable for very small pipes (diameter less than 50 mm / 2").
