Overview

World Innovation

FLEXIM is proud to present, FLUXUS ST-HT, the latest high-temperature model in our growing family of unique non-invasive steam flow metering products. The FLUXUS ST-HT is complementary to our existing FLUXUS ST steam flow meter, but pushes FLEXIM’s solutions for clamp-on ultrasonic steam measurement up to 400 °C!

Non-invasive and efficient

FLUXUS ST-HT measures steam flow non-invasively from the outside of the pipe. Non-invasive steam flow measurement means measuring without any interruption of operation or supply. Since clamp-on ultrasonic transducers are simply mounted on the outside of the pipe, it requires just minimal installation effort and no pipeline penetrations.

This unique flow solution is based on the correlation flow measurement principle. The acoustic measuring method has exceptionally high measuring dynamics and functions independently of the flow direction. The FLUXUS ST-HT offers precise bidirectional flow measurement over a wide turndown ratio up to 10:1.

Completely maintenance-free, robust and safe in operation

Non-invasive steam flow measurement also means measuring without direct contact with the medium flowing in the pipe. FLUXUS ST-HT has no moving parts. Its ultrasonic transducers are fixed to the pipe with broad stainless steel straps or our patented high-temperature mounting system WaveInjector and secured in robust stainless steel housings.

Therefore, FLUXUS ST-HT is not subjected to wear and tear and does not require any maintenance. No more venting and draining of inline flow equipment is necessary, which ensures a totally safe operation of our flow measurement solution.

Advantages

  • Reliable and non-invasive steam measurement
