FDT-40 and FDT-46-ANSI both
shown smaller than actual size.
FDT-40 Series ultrasonic flow and
energy meters clamp on to the
outside of pipes and do not come
in contact with the internal liquid.
The technology has inherent
advantages over alternate devices
including: low-cost installation, no
pressure head loss, no moving parts
to maintain or replace, no fluid
compatibility issue, and a large,
bi-directional measuring range that
ensures reliable readings even at
very low and high flow rates.
FDT-40 Series is available in a
variety of configurations that
permit the user to select a meter with
features suitable to meet particular
application requirements.
