GE Panametrics C-RS-401 Clamp-On Ultrasonic Flow Transducer

GE Panametrics C-RS-401 is a 0.5MHz high-performance external clamp-on ultrasonic transducer, designed for large pipeline liquid flow measurement and compatible with Panametrics transit-time flow meters.

Description

GE Panametrics C-RS-401 belongs to the classic C-RS series clamp-on ultrasonic sensors, operating at 0.5MHz low frequency, specially optimized for large-diameter pipelines ranging from 2 inches up to 300 inches. It can be matched with PT878, PT868, XMT868i and other flow instruments to achieve non-intrusive liquid flow detection.

Installation is completed on the outer pipe wall without cutting pipelines or stopping production, eliminating fluid leakage risk and pressure loss. The transducer housing adopts 316 stainless steel structure, supporting wide temperature range from -40°C to 150°C. Equipped with certified junction box, it meets hazardous area standards including ATEX and Class I Division 1 certification, suitable for petrochemical and oil & gas sites.

Low-frequency ultrasonic signal features strong penetration capacity, applicable for carbon steel, ductile iron, lined pipes and pipelines with thick wall. It can measure clean water, cooling medium, crude oil and other industrial liquids. Supporting standard BNC interface and multiple matching installation clamps, technicians can finish commissioning rapidly on site.

Common application industries include power plants, water treatment, oil and gas transmission, chemical processing. Widely used for energy balance inspection, flow verification and permanent pipeline monitoring. Global customers can source brand-new transducer pairs and fully tested spare sensors for flowmeter maintenance, equipment replacement and system upgrading projects.
