Strap on flow meter
A strap on flow meter is a type of flow meter that is installed externally onto a pipe or conduit to measure the flow rate of a fluid. It typically consists of a sensor or transducer that is clamped or strapped onto the outside surface of the pipe. The sensor measures the flow by using various techniques such as ultrasonic or thermal methods.
This is compared to a clamp-on flow meter is a broader term that encompasses different types of flow meters that are installed externally by clamping onto the outside surface of a pipe. A strap-on flow meter is one specific type of clamp-on flow meter.
The key difference between a strap-on flow meter and other types of clamp-on flow meters lies in the method of installation. A strap-on flow meter uses straps or clamps to secure the sensor onto the pipe, whereas other clamp-on flow meters may use different attachment mechanisms such as magnetic brackets or adjustable straps.

Both strap-on flow meters and other types of clamp-on flow meters offer advantages in terms of ease of installation and versatility, as they can be retrofitted onto existing piping systems without interrupting the flow or requiring pipe modifications. However, the specific type of flow meter you choose depends on factors such as the type of fluid being measured, pipe material, pipe size, and accuracy requirements.
