Clamp-on Flowmeters
Simple solutions prove reliable easy and accurate flow
measurement for the mining aggregates, and cement industries

Siemens offers a wide range of reduced to virtually zero as there

clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters to
suit the varied applications found
within the mineral processing
industries. Typically, the mining,
aggregate and cement industries
monitor and control the flow of
slurries rather than simply pure
liquids. The inherently variable
nature of slurry, both in density
and material flow characteristics
can easily be accommodated by
the clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters.
Installation is straight forward and
can be carried out extremely quick-
ly, since there is no need to break
into the flow line or even stop the
process. Maintenance costs are
is no direct contact to the medium
being measured. All concerns
regarding erosion, which have
plagued traditional spool insertion
devices, are also eliminated.
Clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters
are ideal for a diverse range of
applications within the mineral
processing industries, including:
• Thickeners
• De-watering
• Pulp Flow
• Clay/sand lines
• Effluent
• Cooling water

Siemens offers state-of-the-art clamp-
on flowmeters with WideBeam tech-
nology. This technology increases
precision by reducing the sensitivity
to any change in the medium type or
pressure. The WideBeam ultrasonic
signal is not effected by step velocity
changes (hydraulic surging) or solids
partical distribution. Perform fast,
easy and cost efficient on-site mea-
surement of any pipe from .25“ to
360“ (6.4mm to 9.14m). Engineered
to measure the diverse range of flow
applications found in the mineral pro-
cessing industries, the SITRANS F US
spans the range from pure liquids to
dense slurries.
SITRANS FUS1010 provides accurate,
non-intrusive flow measurement in
full pipes. It is simple to install; pipes
are not cut and operations
are not interrupted. FUS1010 is
programmable for two modes of
operation as standard: WideBeam
transit time or Doppler for quick
adaptation to changing conditions.
Transit time operation is the
preferred mode of operation for
relatively homogeneous liquids, with
an accuracy of up to 0.5% of flow.

Doppler operation is designed for
slurries with extensive suspended
solids, with up to 1% flow accuracy.
Having both principles of opera-
tion within one field programmable
instrument ensures suitability for
virtually all mineral industry applica-
tions. The system can be set to
automatically switch from one mode
of operation to the other as condi-
tions change. This can be particularly
useful in start-up or upset conditions.
