mobile flow meter

mobile flow meter

(OP)
dear people,
I am working on a vessel conversion. For the conversion of this vessel are some new sea cooling water consumers added to the existing cooling water system and some are removed.

Now we are having some problems with the balancing of this system. To solve this problem I like to measure some flows in the different cooling water branches.

My question is:
Is there a mobile flow meter on the market which can be used to measure flows in different pipes? Without breaking open of the system.

Thanks in advance.

RE: mobile flow meter

I would suggest that ultrasonic flow meters may be the answer. Not all are equal. Some require quite a bit of preparation but some are excellent at this type of impromtu temporary attachement. One site to try is www.SolartronMobrey.com but you may need to search for it or ask them. Otherwise, a web search for ultrasonic clamp on flowmeters.
