Emerson released the new Flexim FLUXUS 631 series of portable non-intrusive clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters. The 631 series delivers flexible, precise and reliable measurement of liquids, gases, steam and thermal energy in a single platform across a wide range of demanding industrial applications, including mining, without interrupting operations.
The 631 series supports flow meter and equipment verification, condition monitoring, leak detection and energy performance analysis. It delivers a consistent and intuitive user experience, with quick setup. A refined human-machine interface includes a large integrated display with installation graphics, live values and trend visualization, simplifying setup and operation in the field. A high-capacity lithium-ion battery enables more than 25 hours of autonomous operation, while a low-power mode extends operating time up to 80 days for long-term monitoring applications.
The series also features a robust IP65- and IP67-rated enclosure for demanding environments and incorporates a range of features to maintain performance in challenging applications. Advanced compensation mechanisms enable accurate measurements in disturbed flow, even in constrained installation conditions with limited straight pipe runs.
An integrated Dynamic Gas Meter feature ensures reliable flow measurement despite variations in gas composition and enables determination of gas density and concentration without a chromatograph.
The 631 series offers dual measurement channels and ultra-fast update rates of up to 20 milliseconds. Connectivity options such as Modbus RTU, digital and current outputs, and USB interfaces for data transfer and configuration ensure seamless integration into existing workflows.
