deltawaveC-Fix
Clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter
and HEAT MEASUREMENT for liquids
Clamp-On Flowmeter deltawave C is simpler, more precise and more reliable than everything you experienced before. Within a few minutes, the quick-setup guides you through the setup of the electronics - without the need for the manual. The mounting of the transducers is simple and robust. With its new auto optimizer, clamp-on flowmeter deltawaveC will not only perform perfectly on simple water applications, but also on highly contaminated hydrocarbons, natural gas or compressed air pipelines (deltawaveCoG). deltawaveC's KISS philosophy "Keep-It-Safe-and-Simple" will perfectly meet your requirements for modern process automation.

Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flowmeter deltawaveC-F
The clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter deltawaveC-F is the permanently installed twin of the portable clamp-on flowmeter deltawaveC-P. The new, universally applicable clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter for liquid media in filled pipes works according to the highly accurate ultrasonic time-of-flight method. Special advantage: The ultrasonic transducers are strapped onto the pipe from the outside (clamp-on or buckle-on technology), it is not necessary to cut the pipe, there are no pressure losses. Another advantage of clamp-on ultrasonic flow measurement: because the transducers are not in contact with the medium, the measurement is 100% contamination-free and thus 100% hygienic. This is particularly interesting for quantity measurements of food and pharmaceutical products. And if you have to measure particularly toxic or environmentally harmful liquids: There are no additional sealing surfaces or dead volumes when measuring flow with deltawaveC.
High measuring precision
With the deltawaveC-F, the drinking water flow is measured according to the ultrasonic time-of-flight method via clamp-on transducers. This enables precise and very dynamic flow measurement, especially as the measurement process takes place many times - usually 50 to 150 times - per second. Thus, in combination with the extremely accurate signal evaluation, measurement results can be determined very reliably and practically drift-free even in fast-flowing liquids. In doing so, the calmp-on ultrasonic flow meter deltawaveC-F meets or exceeds even the highest requirements for precise flow measurement.
Absolutely hygienic
Strict hygiene standards apply to drinking water measurement - and rightly so, because there must be no contamination here. The clamp-on flowmeter deltawaveC fix is the ideal tool here because it masters non-contact flow measurement. Here, the measuring sensors do not come into contact with the drinking water at any time. This eliminates the risk of contamination from the outset. This makes drinking water measurement with the deltawaveC fix 100 percent hygienic.
Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Measurement: Quick and easy to install and set up
Parameterisation in a very short time
Precise and simple are not contradictory with deltawaveC-F. deltawaveC-F is very easy to handle. The user interface of the large graphical display is easy to master even without training. Installation and parameterisation of the deltawaveC-Fix only take a few minutes. It is not necessary to cut the pipeline; it is sufficient to strap the ultrasonic transducers onto the respective pipeline from the outside (clamp-on). A Quickfix mounting set is included in the scope of delivery for smooth installation. With the help of the Quick-Setup option, all necessary parameters can be set in a few minutes.

All safe: Clamp-on flow meter deltawaveC-F is approved for use in hazardous areas
Both the transmitter and the deltawaveC sensors are Ex d (pressurised enclosure) approved. You do not have to do without the large display and the familiar simple operating concept of the transmitter. With deltawaveC, you can combine Ex and non-Ex transducers according to your requirements: If, for example, only a small radius around the pipeline is Ex-area, you can place the transmitter without Ex outside the Ex-area and order only the ultrasonic transducers in Ex-design. This saves costs and does not compromise safety.
deltawaveC-F ultrasonic flow meter also measures gases!
The clamp-on measurement of gases is a particularly demanding measurement task, which deltawaveC-F solves optimally with its new Auto-Optimizer. The advantages are well known: No intervention in the pipeline (DN25-DN700), retrofitting, no wear or pressure loss, no sealing surfaces. The technology is particularly suitable for compressed air, natural gas pipelines, in air separation plants and large refrigeration plants. The newly developed Lamb Wave transducers cover pipelines with wall thicknesses from 1 to over 20 mm and diameters from 25 to 700 mm.
High temperature converter up to 380°C for the clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Meter
The new, directly-applied high-temperature converters withstand temperatures up to 380°C. And because the converters do not require spacer plates (hockey sticks), installation of the clamp-on ultrasonic flow measurement is much easier and the signals are significantly more stable and better than with conventional high-temperature converters.
This means you can now use deltawaveC on applications such as tar, thermal oil, boiler feed water and various hydrocarbons in the refinery.
Saves installation and operating costs
Due to the clamp-on technology, your deltawaveC-F operates > 100% contact-free > 100% maintenance-free > 100% leakage-proof > 100% hygienically flawless > 100% pressure loss-free This makes your deltawaveC-F a long-term stable and reliable measuring device for the vast majority of liquid applications.
High measuring accuracy - drift-free and robust
deltawaveC-F measures according to the highly accurate ultrasonic time-of-flight method. With this method, the flow is measured many times, typically 50-150 times, per second. Due to the high number of measurements, but also because of the use of state-of-the-art digital signal evaluation, deltawaveC-P works drift-free and reliably. Even with demanding measurements and media with gas and particle loads.
Integrated heat quantity measurement.
Often an expensive extra - already integrated as standard with deltawaveC-F. In addition to precise flow measurement, your deltawaveC-F also reliably and accurately records the heat output and heat quantity.
In addition to the precise and easy-to-install contact temperature sensors from systec Controls, you can of course also use PT100 temperature sensors for flow and return temperature that are available on site. With a temperature resistance of -40 to 150°C, deltawaveC-F covers the vast majority of applications in heating and cooling circuits.
