HIKMICRO FU00 Ultrasonic Flowmeter
The HIKMICRO FU00 Series is a professional-grade, non-invasive ultrasonic flowmeter engineered for high-precision liquid measurement without the need to cut into existing pipelines. By utilizing advanced Transit-time (Time Difference) technology and an adaptive Doppler switching algorithm, the FU00 series delivers reliable data even in challenging conditions such as rusted pipes or liquids containing air bubbles.
Since the sensors are clamped onto the exterior of the pipe, the FU00 series allows for installation during live operations, ensuring zero production downtime and zero pressure loss. Whether for temporary audits or permanent SCADA integration, it is the most cost-effective and efficient solution for measuring flow in industrial environments.
Key Professional Advantages
Zero-Downtime Installation: The clamp-on design allows for a "no-stop" installation process. Sensors are simply strapped to the exterior of the pipe, making it ideal for 24/7 industrial facilities and critical water infrastructure.
Intelligent Adaptive Signal: Features a unique algorithm that switches between Transit-time and Doppler methods based on the liquid quality. This ensures high accuracy (±0.5%) in clean water while maintaining a stable signal in liquids with higher particle or bubble concentrations.
Bluetooth-Enabled Maintenance: Built-in Bluetooth connectivity allows engineers to configure the host and debug the sensors via a mobile application. This eliminates the need for manual keypad entry in confined or hazardous spaces.
Wide Operational Range: A single host supports a massive range of pipe sizes, from small-bore DN15 chemical lines to massive DN6000 municipal water mains, simply by swapping the sensor kits.
Maintenance-Free Operation: With no moving mechanical parts and zero contact with the fluid, the FU00 series is immune to corrosion, wear, and clogging, providing a significantly longer service life than mechanical or electromagnetic meters.
Rugged IP68 Protection: The ultrasonic transducers are fully potted and rated for IP68, allowing for permanent installation in submerged pits, outdoor environments, or high-humidity zones.

Typical Industrial Applications
Water & Wastewater Management: Non-invasive monitoring of potable water supply, sewage discharge, and leak detection in large-diameter city mains.
HVAC & Energy Auditing: Verifying the efficiency of chilled water loops and district heating systems without removing insulation or cutting pipes.
Chemical Processing: Measuring hazardous or corrosive liquids where pipe integrity is a safety requirement.
Power Plants: Monitoring high-pressure cooling water and boiler feedwater systems.
Food & Beverage: Flow measurement for liquids requiring strict hygienic conditions, as the sensors never touch the fluid.
