A Tri-Clamp flow meter refers to any type of flow meter that uses a Tri-Clamp fitting, a hygienic, quick connection method widely used in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical and biotech industries because of its smooth, gap-free design that prevents bacterial growth and is easy to clean and disinfect.

The main advantages of Tri-Clamp include:

Sanitary Design:
Ideal for clean-in-place and sterilize-in-place processes. For example, milk flow measurement, yogurt flow measurement, and edible oil flow measurement all require clamp connections for easy disassembly and cleaning.

Tool-free installation: Easily assembled and disassembled without special tools.

Leak-proof: High sealing performance is achieved with suitable gaskets.

Standard size:
Compatible with global sanitary piping and process equipment. We offer a full range of tri-clamp accessories, eliminating the hassle of finding accessories for our customers. These advantages make Tri-Clamp flow meters the first choice for sanitary process systems. Clamp connection includes sanitary flange pipe welding clamp sleeve + clamp + gasket.

Types of Tri-Clamp Flow Meters

1. Tri-clamp Electromagnetic Flow Meters (Magmeters)

Electromagnetic flow meters use Faraday’s Law to measure conductive fluids like juices, milk, dairy products, and drinking water. With a Tri-Clamp sanitary design, these sanitary flow sensors are perfect for liquid food, beverages, and CIP fluids. Tri-clamp magnetic flow meters are perfect for liquid food, beverage and so on.

2. Tri-clamp Turbine Flow Meters

Turbine meters measure flow based on the rotational speed of a turbine in the fluid stream. When equipped with Tri-Clamp ends, they are suitable for low-viscosity liquids such as water, DI water, edible oil, sunflower oil, vegetable oil, beer, or solvents in hygienic environments.

3. Metal Tube Rotameters (Variable Area Flow Meters)

These rotameter flow meters measure flow using a float moving inside a tapered metal tube. Though less common in sanitary setups, Tri-Clamp options exist for low-maintenance flow indication in utility lines. Sanitary rotameter can measure milk, juice, vinegar, RO water, deionized water and so on.

4.Tri-clamp Vortex Flow Meters

Vortex flow meters detect vortices generated by bluff bodies in fluids. Tri-Clamp Vortex Flowmeters are ideal for medium-accuracy steam, gas and clean liquid applications in hygienic environments.

Tri-Clamp flow meters combine precision flow measurement with sanitary, user-friendly connections. By offering a wide range of flow technologies in Tri-Clamp configuration, they provide flexible solutions for industries demanding both cleanliness and performance. Whether you're measuring milk, beer, oxygen, or pharmaceutical ingredients, there's a Tri-Clamp flow meter to meet your needs.
