Woolman Research Building - Case Study
The Woolman Research Building has a complex chilled water system and boiler. These have been heavily modified to assist in the heating of and cooling of experiments. Butler Pipe Fitting Services were brought in to decommission parts of the system and balance the remaining system. Butler Pipe Fitting Services consulted Precision Flow Ltd. Precision Flow Ltd recommended the hire of a Precision Flow 190P LT clamp on transit time flowmeter. This allowed Mike from Butler Pipe Fitting Services to quickly analyse the flow rates in the system. As the 190P is non intrusive a transit time clamp on ultrasonic flow meter there was no need to shut the system down to install ultrasonic flow meters. This allowed research work to continue in the building.

The Precision flow clamp on ultrasonic flow meter includes an on board data logger which was used to store flow rates over a number of weeks. As the clamp on 190P flowmeter is easily configured it was easily moved from pipe to pipe as a wide range of pipe sizes were used throughout the building.
Mike from Butler Pipe Fitting Services was very impressed by the simplicity, accuracy, and ease of use of the Precision Flow 190P LT clamp on meter.
"It was so simple to use I did not need to read the manual"
Butler Pipe Fitting Services have since bought their own Precision Flow 190P.
