1.1 Clamp-on technology
The OPTISONIC 6300
OPTISONIC 6300 stands for continuity and long term reliability. Flow measurement can be
OPTISONIC 6300OPTISONIC 6300
done anywhere and start-up is immediate. The new OPTISONIC 6300
liquids with its robust industrial construction and regreasing concept provides a revolutionary
solution for easy handling. It can be fitted on the outside of piping to measure the flow rate of
liquids.
The clamp-on flowmeter is a combination of one up to two OPTISONIC 6000 clamp-on sensor(s)
and one UFC 300 ultrasonic signal converter.
The overall functionality of the clamp-on flowmeter is the continuous measurement of actual
volume flow, mass flow, flow speed, velocity of sound, gain, SNR and diagnosis value.

1.3 Measuring principle
• Like canoes crossing a river, acoustic signals are transmitted and received along a diagonal
measuring path.
• A sound wave going downstream with the flow travels faster than a sound wave going
upstream against the flow.
• The difference in transit time is directly proportional to the mean flow velocity of the medium.

Signal converter: -40…+60°C / -40…+140°F
(ambient temperature 55°C / 131°F and higher: protect electronics
against self-heating, because an increase in the electronics
temperature in 10°C/50°F steps leads to a corresponding reduction
of the electronics' service life by a factor of two).
