1.3 Features
Installation sensor rail
The measurement accuracy is largely determined by the quality of the installation of the clamp-
on flow sensor which must be precisely installed and properly aligned.
The OPTISONIC 6300 sensor is always provided with in-rail mounted transducers. A rail allows
for accurate fixation of the transducer distance, guaranteeing their proper alignment.
Reduced maintenance effort
For a continuous accurate and reliable operation the transducers have to be in optimal contact
with the pipe surface. Periodic cleaning and/or re-greasing of the transducers is required to
ensure a good acoustic connection with the pipe. By being able to unlock and tilt the transducers
without changing the transducer position, maintenance is simplified and less time consuming,
as the rail is put back exactly in the same position. This eliminates the need for re-adjustments
or recommissioning.
To reduce maintenance intervals, standard supplied solid pads can be used (optionally) as
acoustic coupling material. In general, grease will have a better acoustic coupling, but the solids
pads can be the best solution for a high-temperature application (where the coupling grease
may deteriorate more quickly). Also suitable for applications in general where the maintenance
interval should be reduced or avoided or in cases where access is difficult.
