Clamp-On, Non-invasive Flow Measurement = No Contamination!

Ensuring that there is no potential for process liquid contamination is an essential criteria in many industries including the pharmaceutical and semiconductor sectors where the specific requirements for the process water are an essential element.

For example Ultra pure water is the lifeblood of every pharmaceutical company and they require vast quantities on a daily basis. Eliminating bacterial growth depends largely upon the system being free from crevices that can provide a breeding ground for the bacteria to grow. They must also use the highest quality stainless steel construction materials. For this reason ultrasonic Clamp-On flow meters and instruments are ideal, as they do not need to enter through the pipe wall or protrude in any way into the ultra pure water environment. This reduces the cost of installing flow meters and eliminates entirely the potential breeding ground for bacteria that in-line meters present!

Micronics Clamp-On flow meters and instruments have been applied in pharmaceutical plants around the world. They solve flow-metering problems by eliminating any possibility of contamination and at the same time saving a great deal of expense. To summarise Clamp-On, non-invasive meters and instruments offers the following benefits for any type of aseptic or other similar operation where potential contamination of process liquid is a critical issue:

·         Low installation and operational costs

·         Do not require system downtime for installation or maintenance

·         Do not cause any pressure drop and are therefore very efficient

·         Are not pipe size dependent and can therefore be easily moved to a different site should the need arise, without stopping the process.
