Flow Technology Introduces In-Line Ultrasonic Flow Meters for Low Viscosity Liquid Applications

Compact and versatile in-line ultrasonic flow meters for low viscosity liquid applications in a wide range of industries. Meter's construction makes it the meter of choice for many high purity and corrosive fluids.

Flow Technology, Inc. (FTI), a leading manufacturer of precision flow measurement instruments, systems and calibrators, has introduced the QCT Series of in-line ultrasonic flow meters for use in low viscosity liquid applications.


The QCT Series is a compact, versatile, cost-effect solution for measuring low viscosity liquids in a wide range of industries, such as chemical, biopharmaceutical, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, plastics, power generation, pulp & paper, semiconductor, and steel. The meter's construction makes it the meter of choice for many high purity and corrosive fluids. Typical applications include water treatment for boilers and cooling towers, clean-in-place (CIP) systems, mechanical seal flushing/cooling, high purity water systems, process water, cooling loops, reverse osmosis (RO) systems, and small line injection systems.

"The QCT Series is intended for those seeking a flow meter with excellent accuracy and reliability at an economical price point," said Matt Zajac, Flow Technology marketing manager. "The meter is available in a range of sizes and features to meet a broad array of application requirements. The QCT's ability to measure the flow of any clean, low viscosity liquid makes it an excellent fit for numerous applications and industries."

High accuracy and repeatability are achieved through the unique measurement section within the QCT Series meter where flow is conditioned and Delta T measured along the meter's axis. The meter bases its operation on measuring the time difference of an ultrasonic wave traveling with and against the flowing medium. The time difference is directionally proportional to the fluid's flow rate.

The QCT has no moving parts, non-wetted sensors, and there is nothing in the flow stream that will cause an obstruction to the flow path. The meter is available in sizes of 1/8 inch to 1 inch, accurate to +/- 0.5 percent of reading plus zero stability and repeatability is +/- 0.2 percent over 10:1 calibration range. It has a 0.035 to 70 GPM flow range, 14°F to 176°F (-10°C to 80°C) temperature range, and analog, scaled frequency and Modbus RTU outputs.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
