Ultrasonic Flow Meter Ideal for Ultra-Pure Water Applications
Designed primarily for ultra-pure water dispensing applications requiring a high degree of cleanliness, clean bore flow measurement devices such as Titan Enter- prises’ Metraflow® ultrasonic flowmeter, offer the ideal solution. Ultra-pure water is an important com-
ponent for industries where impurities can cause product contamination or impact process efficiency. Ultra-pure water (UPW) systems are typ-
ically used in production and cleaning processes within the pharmaceutical, medical, semiconductor and power indus- tries. It is crucial that any flow measure- ment device used in UPW systems can cope with low flow rates and are con- structed from materials that cannot contaminate the liquids being measured. The Metraflow® uses Titan’s patented ultrasonic time of flight technology to accurately meas-
ure liquid travelling through the clear, single, clean bore measurement flow tube constructed from high performance Perfluoroalkoxy Alkane (PFA) polymer. Neil Hannay, Senior R&D Engineer with Titan Enterprises, says: “Ultra-pure water can become
easily contaminated and PFA polymer was chosen specifically as an advanced tubing option for the Metraflow® as it offers excellent chemical inertness and has an ultra-high grade of purity.” Titan’s Metraflow® is non-intrusive with no internal moving parts, designed to precisely monitor
process flows at temperatures from 10ºC to 60ºC. In addition, this non-invasive single tube ultra- sonic flow meter gives a wide operating flow range with an accuracy of +/-0.5% FSD and repeata- bility across flow ranges from 20 to 5000 ml/min. Metraflow® is also ideal for the flow measurement of challenging liquids, its wide flow range
and PFA (FDA approved) tubing making it highly suited to aggressive chemical flow measure- ment.

Brammer Buck & Hickman Introduces Innovative Safety Footwear
Following the launch of the compre- hensive GISS PPE product range in the UK, Brammer Buck & Hick- man, the UK’s leading supplier of industrial maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) products and services, is pleased to introduce the GISS Linzor Safety Boot and GISS Luxsar Safety Shoe. Both GISS Linzor Safety Boot and GISS Luxsar
Safety Shoe are innovative in design and perform- ance. Incorporating Infinergy® for an increased level of comfort and Putek for extremely high levels of abrasion, the footwear offers all day comfort with extreme durability. The Infinergy® technology helps to maintain en-
ergy levels for longer than any traditional sole with the added benefit of lightness, freedom of move- ment, anti-fatigue and reduction of musculoskele- tal disorders. The main feature of Infinergy® is its high resilience. Tests of the resilience elasticity under ISO 8307 (the ball rebound test) and under DIN 53512 show that Infinergy® achieves a rebound of over 55%

New, BFX3 Compact clamp-on Flow meters and Heat meters for liquid measurement
Quick and easy to install, even by non- trained operators, the clam-shell de- sign of this range makes them a fast and reliable solution for non-invasive flow and/or heat measurement appli- cations. As the sensor separation dis- tance is fixed, there is no need for adjustment and once fitted they are not easily disturbed. Clamp on ultrasonic flow meters are
ideal for applications when system shut down is not feasible. These flow meters are non-intrusive and simply clamp on to the outside of the pipe without making contact with the internal fluid. They measure the time it takes for an ultrasonic signal transmitted, from one sensor to the other. The sound's "time of flight" is accurately measured in both directions and
the difference in time of flight calculated. The liquid velocity (V) inside the pipe can be related to the difference in time of flight (dt) through the fol- lowing equation: V = K * D * dt, where K is a constant and D is the distance between the transducers
Features: • BFX3 Flow models and BEX3 Heat Meter versions
• DN15 to DN90 (9 models) • 24V DC Powered • 4-20mA Output and optional Pulse Output, Alarm Outputs • Modbus RS485 Communications • No need for tubes of ultrasonic grease, rulers and marker pens. • Clean, hassle-free installation • Pre-configured or In-Field adjustment possible • Suitable for various pipe material: Copper, Plastic, Steel, Iron and Stai less Steel • No moving parts or contact with the fluid
• Suitable for aggressive liquids • Zero pressure loss imposed by this design • Can be relocated • Data logging and remote monitoring options available
These budget friendly clamp-on flow meters utilise the ultrasonic flow
measurement method ensuring quick and simple installation without the need to cut into existing pipe-work. It is not necessary to turn off the supply of water/liquid to install the product. It is also possible to supply this model with GPRS/GSM Data logging and remote access via cloud server. Ultrasonic flow meters are now widely used in the industrial and building
sectors. Their simplicity and reliability has seen their widespread adoption throughout the world as an accurate and reliable method of quantifying liquid flow rate measurement and consumption. These flow meters can be used on a variety of pipe sizes or material, are non-invasive and therefore not prone to the levels of deterioration that are seen by in- trusive flow meters.
