Ultrasonic Clamp-On Flow Meter

The ultrasonic clamp-on flow meter performs non-contact measurement through sensors mounted on both sides of the pipeline. The installation process requires no pipe cutting or interruption of fluid flow. Its non-intrusive design prevents liquid contamination. It is particularly suitable for applications where fluids are costly and pipe diameters are small, commonly seen in the semiconductor, electronics, and chemical industries — for example, ultrapure water in semiconductor processes, corrosive chemicals in PCB manufacturing, and trace wastewater monitoring in water treatment systems.

ToF (Time of Flight) Ultrasonic Flow Meter Principle

FU-ES ultrasonic flow meters use EchoSense technology based on the Time of Flight principle, calculating flow velocity by measuring the difference in ultrasonic travel time upstream and downstream. Flow velocity is then combined with the known pipe cross-section to determine flow rate. Learn more: Flow Rate Formula

Compatible with Multiple Fluids, Pipe Materials, and Sizes

EchoSense ultrasonic flow meters work with a wide range of fluids, from water and oil to various chemicals. They are compatible with diverse pipe materials, including stainless steel, PVC, PP, and PVDF, and support pipe sizes from 1/4" to 1", offering broad application flexibility.

Ultra-Compact Design for Precision Applications

Ultra-Compact Design for Precision Applications

The FU-LT series is engineered for ultra-compactness, ranking among the smallest in the industry. Designed for limited installation spaces and small pipe diameters, it delivers stable, high-efficiency, and accurate flow measurement without occupying extra space. Whether inside precision machinery, narrow industrial equipment, or confined system layouts, FU-LT fits seamlessly. Unlike conventional flow meters that are bulky or unsuitable for micro pipe sizes, FU-LT precisely detects small flow variations, meeting the demanding requirements of semiconductor, electronic chemical, and precision manufacturing industries.

Durable, Corrosion-Resistant Material for Harsh Environments

FU-LT features a stainless steel body with a Teflon® coating, offering corrosion resistance, anti-stick, insulation, and low-friction properties. This coating effectively withstands salt spray, oil vapors, and industrial cleaning agents without peeling or degrading. Free from heavy metals and with low VOC emissions, it is environmentally friendly and ideal for chemical, outdoor, and food manufacturing environments that demand high corrosion resistance and cleanliness.

Durable, Corrosion-Resistant Material for Harsh Environments
Save Time & Cost: No More Coupling Gel

Save Time & Cost: No More Coupling Gel

Traditional ultrasonic flow meters rely on coupling gel to transmit signals, requiring tedious application, regular replenishment, and prone to dirt, drying, and displacement, affecting accuracy. FU-LT uses LORRIC’s exclusive durable rubber pads to fully replace gel—fast, clean, and contamination-free installation ensures long-term stable signal transmission while reducing maintenance time and consumable costs.

One-Touch Setup: Auto Pipe Material & Size Detection

FU-LT features a built-in database of common pipe sizes and materials. After installation, it automatically detects pipe material, diameter, and wall thickness—no need to manually enter complex parameters. This simplifies setup, helps users complete installation quickly, and greatly reduces configuration errors and operation time.
