AT600 Ultrasonic Flow Meter: Dedicated External Water Pipe Processing Specs
Quick Answer: The AT600 ultrasonic flow meter from Silver Automation Instruments measures water flow from outside the pipe. It works on steel, PVC, HDPE, and copper water lines from DN25 to DN1200. You get 4-20 mA HART output, RS485 Modbus RTU data, and a clamp-on sensor kit that does not stop your process.
Why Dedicated Specs Matter for External Water Pipe Processing
External water pipes in desalination plants, cooling water loops, and municipal water supply often stay in service. Cutting the pipe for an inline meter adds cost and downtime. The AT600 solves that with clamp-on transducers. These transducers mount on the pipe surface. No wetted parts. No process shutdown. For a water pipe that feeds a bottling line in Vietnam, this means production continues during installation.
AT600 Flow Range and Accuracy for Water
The AT600 reads flow velocity from 0.01 m/s to 12 m/s. Accuracy is ±1.0 percent of reading for pipe sizes from DN25 to DN1200. Repeatability is ±0.2 percent. Bidirectional flow measurement comes standard. For untreated water with low conductivity, the clamp-on sensors still work. This is not always true for magnetic flow meters. Most engineers choose the AT600 because it handles pipe wall thickness up to 50 mm. Low conductivity river water or well water does not confuse the signal.
Pipe Material and Installation Details
The AT600 supports carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, PVC, HDPE, and copper. Install the sensors on a straight pipe run. Use 10 diameters upstream and 5 diameters downstream. The pipe surface must be clean. Here is the thing. Most engineers skip the pipe wall thickness setting. The AT600 has a menu for pipe material and wall thickness. If you enter the wrong value, flow accuracy drops. Silver Instruments includes coupling paste, mounting straps, and a spacing ruler in the kit. A wastewater treatment plant in Mexico installed two AT600 units on 200 mm HDPE sludge lines last year. The whole job took four hours per line.

Water and Wastewater Applications We See
Desalination plants use the AT600 on seawater feed lines and brine discharge lines. Cooling towers in Thailand measure return water on 250 mm carbon steel pipes. Municipal potable water networks in Peru use the RS485 data for district metering. A seafood processing plant in Vietnam installed the AT600 on a 150 mm PVC seawater discharge line. The meter has run for 18 months without recalibration.

FAQ: Five Key Questions About the AT600
Can the AT600 measure water flow without cutting the pipe? Yes. The AT600 uses clamp-on ultrasonic transducers. No pipe cutting and no process shutdown.
What pipe sizes does the AT600 support? Standard sensors cover DN25 to DN1200. Larger pipes up to DN6000 can be quoted with high power sensor options.
Does the AT600 work on PVC and HDPE water pipes? Yes. It supports PVC, HDPE, steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and copper. Select the pipe material in the transmitter menu.
What output does the AT600 provide for a PLC or SCADA? Standard outputs are 4-20 mA HART, pulse, and RS485 Modbus RTU. Relay outputs are optional.
Can the AT600 handle hot water? Standard sensors work from minus 30°C to 160°C. For steam or higher temperature, contact Silver Instruments for a high temperature clamp-on model.
