Type U1000 V2 Ultrasonic Flowmeter

Product description
The type U1000 V2 is an ultrasonic permanent Clamp-On flowmeter. This cost effective device
can either be used as a stand-alone meter or as an integral part of a control loop.
The type U1000 V2 is very simple to install – clamp it on to the pipe, connect it to power and
enter the pipe diameter. No expertise or special tools are required.
The "Clamp-On" concept allows for easy installations without process disruption. Compact,
robust and reliable – the type U1000 V2 was designed for long-term use in industrial
applications.
The type U1000 V2 is especially configured for pure water and can be used on PVDF, ABS,
PVC, CPVC, PP, PE, PB-Instaflex, iron and steel pipes. Processes can be monitored directly by
a higher-level system via 4 to 20 mA, Modbus, pulse or frequency output.

Benefits/features
• Large, easy to read graphic display with backlighting
• Easy to install without special tools FM
• „Clamp-on“ design APPROVED

• Expanded size range (¾ inch to 6 inch pipes)

• Simple to follow programming menu
• Simple quick-start set up procedure
• Compact integral design

Applications
• Ultrapure water measurement
• Chilled water metering
• Flow measurement for energy metering
• Monitoring of manufacturing processes
• New Water / Glycol Measurement

Function
The U1000 V2 functions, as do all GF current ultrasonic flow meters, according to the transit
time principle of ultrasonic waves.

The type U1000 V2 functions, as do all current ultrasonic flowmeters, according to the
path-time principle of ultrasonic waves.
The device is installed directly on a pipe surface and transmits ultrasonic waves back and
forth between the two sound transducers. Depending on the flow, a small time difference
arises between the two ultrasonic signals – this is proportional to the flow speed.
