GE UTX878-H-CG-00 is a standard single-path ultrasonic flow transmitter dedicated to liquid medium measurement. Each segment of the model code corresponds to fixed configuration: UTX878 stands for AquaTrans basic host platform; H represents field wall-mounted shell structure; CG refers to standard communication and analog output configuration; the suffix 00 is factory standard version without customized special functional modules. The whole set cooperates with MTS series clamp-on ultrasonic transducers to build a non-intrusive flow measurement system widely applied in municipal water supply, sewage treatment, circulating water systems and chemical low-viscosity liquid pipelines.

This instrument adopts the classic transit-time difference measurement principle. The host drives paired probes to send and receive ultrasonic signals along the pipeline wall, calculates fluid flow velocity according to the forward and reverse propagation time difference of sound waves, and then outputs volumetric flow rate and cumulative flow data through internal algorithm operation. It supports single-path measurement by default and can expand dual-path average measurement to improve accuracy under uneven flow field conditionsManualsLib. For pipes above 150mm inner diameter, the measurement accuracy can reach ±1%~±2% of reading, meeting the precision requirements of most industrial flow monitoring scenariosManualsLib.

The outer shell is made of epoxy-coated cast aluminum with NEMA4X and IP67 protection grade, capable of adapting to outdoor pipe gallery, humid pump room and dusty industrial workshop environments. The front panel is equipped with LCD display and six-key operation keyboard, supporting local parameter configuration, real-time flow value viewing, cumulative total query and equipment fault code diagnosis. Three-level password locking function is built in to prevent irrelevant personnel from tampering with measurement parameters and ensure data stabilityManualsLib.

In terms of signal output configuration, the equipment is equipped with isolated 4–20mA analog output and standard RS232 serial communication interface. Flow data can be uploaded to DCS, PLC and SCADA control systems to realize remote centralized monitoring of pipeline flow. The internal circuit is equipped with multi-layer filtering processing unit, which effectively filters signal interference caused by pipeline vibration, power frequency noise and slight bubble impurities in the liquid, reducing measurement fluctuation under complex working conditionsManualsLib.

The biggest advantage of clamp-on matching mode is no need to cut pipelines or stop production during installation and later replacement, avoiding medium leakage risk and production shutdown loss caused by perforation and welding construction. The instrument has wide fluid adaptability, which can measure clean water, mixed liquid containing a small amount of solid particles and low-concentration chemical medium liquid, with low attenuation of ultrasonic signal in effective medium rangeManualsLib.

Each UTX878-H-CG-00 host completes factory calibration and signal debugging before delivery. There are no wearing parts inside the electronic main body, and daily maintenance only needs regular inspection of probe fastening state and cable integrity, with low long-term operation and maintenance cost. It has passed CE related safety certification and is a mainstream economical non-intrusive flow measurement instrument for liquid pipeline measurement in municipal and process industriesManualsLib
