The GE Panametrics DigitalFlow™ CTF878 brings clamp-on ultrasonic gas flow metering capability to atmospheric pressure applications at velocities up to 150 ft/s (46m/s). The new CTF878 uses the correlation tag ultrasonic flow measurement technique to measure accurately and reliably the flow of natural gas, compressed air, inert gas or any other gases.
The CTF878 flowmeter is especially useful for metering of erosive, corrosive, toxic, high-purity or sterile gases, or in any application where penetrating the pipe wall is undesirable. Since no tapping or cutting of the pipe wall is required, permanent installation costs are significantly reduced.
The meter has no wetted or moving parts, requires no maintenance, causes no pressure drop and has very wide rangeability.
