NEW-CONSENS LUG8 Clamp-On Ultrasonic Gas Flowmeter DN50-DN1000 for Compressed Air Networks

NEW-CONSENS LUG8 Clamp-On Ultrasonic Gas Flowmeter – 2026 New Launch

New 2026 release: a clamp-on ultrasonic gas flowmeter that measures compressed air, nitrogen and other dry gases from outside the pipe with no cutting, no shutdown and no pressure loss.

Compressed air is one of the most expensive utilities in a factory, and most sites have no idea how much of it leaks away. The LUG8 measures gas flow from outside the pipe with clamp-on transducers, which means an energy audit can start the same day without cutting into the header, shutting down production or losing pressure across an orifice plate.

Why This New Launch Is Worth Switching To

• Clamp-on transducers install on the outside wall of DN50 to DN1000 pipes, so there is no cutting, no welding and no process shutdown.
• Zero permanent pressure loss: unlike orifice plates and vortex meters, the LUG8 adds nothing to compressor load.
• Built-in data logger stores flow, totaliser and temperature for weeks so leak surveys can be run without a permanent SCADA connection.
• Portable and fixed configurations share the same transducers, so audit data and permanent monitoring use the same calibration.

Key Design Features

• Automatic pipe wall and gas temperature compensation keeps accuracy stable between summer and winter conditions.
• User-selectable standard conditions in Nm³/h, scfm, kg/h or m³/h for direct comparison with utility bills.
• Two-channel option allows upstream and downstream comparison across a filter or dryer to spot pressure drop waste.
• Rechargeable battery pack provides up to 12 hours of portable operation for site surveys.

Technical Specifications

Typical Applications

• Compressed air network audits and leak cost allocation by department.
• Nitrogen blanketing and inert gas consumption monitoring in food and chemical plants.
• Natural gas sub-metering where pipe modification is not permitted.
