The Offshore FLUXUS^®
FLUXUS^® ADM 8127 – The new clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter for offshore applications

The newest ultrasonic flowmeter of the FLUXUS^® family was specially engineered for offshore applications. Its robust housing is all stainless steel and thus seawater resistant. FLUXUS^® ADM 8127 is ATEX-certified for the operation in explosive atmosphere (hazard zone I and II). Its electronics and terminals are hermetically sealed - the terminal design is EX-e type ("increased safety").

Thanks to the clamp-on technique, the transducers are not submitted to wear and tear. Whatever is flowing through the pipe – be it sand, stones, cement, etc... – the measurement might be interrupted, but there is absolutely no risk for FLUXUS^®. Moreover, the measurement is independent of pressure. The transducers are rapidly installed, without process interruption. No maintenance and no pipe work is needed.

High flexibility is the main characteristic of the FLUXUS^® ADM flowmeter series. This is also the case for the new 8027. It can be used on pipes of the most diverse materials with diameters ranging between 10 mm and 6500 mm (1/2" to 250”) and at temperatures between -20°C (-4°F) and 120°C (248°F). Combined with the special mounting fixture WaveInjector^®, the transducers can even be operated on pipes as hot as 400°C (752°F). Equipped with special transducers, FLUXUS^® will even measure gas flow.

Non intrusive measurement, high dynamic range, high flexibility – these are the well known advantages of the clamp-on ultrasonic flow measurement. They are now also available for offshore applications.
