Clamp-On Ultrasonic Flow Meter UK | Non-Invasive Flow Monitoring Solutions
Smart clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter UK solutions from AQUAIOT give you real-time flow and volume data on existing pipes without cutting, draining or disrupting your system. Our non-invasive ultrasonic flow monitoring technology combines external clamp-on meters, Milesight connectivity and AQUAIOT dashboards to turn blind pipework into visible, managed assets.
Why choose clamp-on ultrasonic flow monitoring?
Traditional flow metering is often left out of projects because it is messy and disruptive. A clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter UK solution delivers:
- Non-invasive installation – no cutting, hot works or tapping into ageing or critical pipes.
- No pressure loss – sensors never intrude into the flow path.
- Fast retrofit – clamp-on meters for DN8–DN100 can be fitted in a short visit, on live systems.
- Multi-fluid capability – water, oils, solutions and many chemical reagents with impurities up to 4% and viscosity below 300 cSt.
- FN-V-E_all
- IoT-ready outputs – RS-485 Modbus RTU, 4–20 mA, voltage, pulse and relay outputs for straightforward integration into AQUAIOT, Milesight gateways, BMS and SCADA.
This is ideal for retrofit projects, operational estates and industrial plants where you need better flow visibility but cannot justify major pipework changes.
Where clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters pay back quickly
Estates, hospitals and campuses
- Chilled and hot water loops in hospitals, universities and corporate campuses
- Risers, plant rooms and distribution circuits where leaks and under-performance are costly
- Buildings where taking services offline is difficult or politically sensitive
Clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter UK deployments let estates teams see each loop’s flow profile, spot abnormal consumption, and reduce both damage and downtime.
Industrial and process sites
- Cooling water to furnaces, lines, machining centres and kilns
- CIP, wash and rinse lines in food, beverage and pharmaceutical plants
- Process water and chemical dosing where contact with the fluid is undesirable
Non-invasive ultrasonic flow monitoring helps plant engineers avoid unplanned stoppages, scrap and safety risks, without introducing new leak points.
Data centres and critical environments
- Chilled water and liquid cooling loops
- Primary, secondary and tertiary circuits feeding critical equipment
- Redundant lines where proving flow is essential for resilience
By using a clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter UK approach, operators gain continuous cooling verification and auditable evidence, supporting SLAs and insurance requirements.
Water companies and utilities
- Treatment works and pumping stations
- Non-revenue water investigations on specific closed pipes
- Sites where existing meters are hard to access or replace
Clamp-on ultrasonic flow monitoring, combined with other AQUAIOT solutions such as Sewer Monitoring and Water Quality Monitoring, gives utilities a deployable toolkit for understanding flow without major shutdowns.
How AQUAIOT clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter UK solutions work
External clamp-on meter on live pipe
A transit-time ultrasonic flowmeter is clamped to the outside of a DN8–DN100 pipe using a dedicated bracket. There is no need to cut the pipe, insert a sensor or drain the system, and the fluid never contacts the meter.Flow and volume measurement
The meter uses ultrasonic signals sent through the pipe wall to measure flow velocity and calculate real-time flow and totalised volume, with typical accuracy around ±2% of full scale for clean and mildly contaminated liquids.IoT connectivity via Milesight and AQUAIOT
Flow data is collected via RS-485 Modbus, analogue or pulse outputs into Milesight 3W Water Wise controllers and gateways, then sent over LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, LTE-M or 4G to the AQUAIOT platform or existing SCADA/BMS.Dashboards, alarms and analytics
AQUAIOT presents live dashboards, alarms and historical trends so engineering and estates teams can see how each line behaves, spot leaks, validate pump performance and evidence savings.
Why work with AQUAIOT for clamp-on flow monitoring?
AQUAIOT specialises in real-world IoT deployments for water, buildings and infrastructure, not just hardware supply. Our clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter UK solutions draw on:
- Experience delivering leak detection, Sewer Monitoring and Smart Water Butt projects with UK utilities and public-sector estates
- Secure, scalable cloud dashboards and integrations that fit into existing operations
You get a turnkey, non-invasive flow monitoring solution that reduces risk, supports compliance and provides clear operational value.
Take action: start with one critical line
You do not need to redesign your entire network to benefit from a clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter UK solution.
AQUAIOT can:
- Review your pipes, fluids, sizes and constraints
- Identify one or two high-impact lines for a pilot
- Specify clamp-on meters, connectivity and AQUAIOT dashboards
- Provide a clear plan to scale from pilot to portfolio
