GE DF868 Ultrasonic Flowmeter
Model: DF868 / DF868-2-14-10000-0
Category: Clamp-On Ultrasonic Liquid Flow Meter
Manufacturer: Baker Hughes (formerly General Electric Panametrics)
Product Overview
The GE DF868 DigitalFlow Ultrasonic Flowmeter is a high-performance fixed-mount clamp-on flow measurement system designed for accurate and reliable monitoring of liquid flow in industrial pipelines. Using advanced transit-time ultrasonic technology, the DF868 measures flow externally without cutting the pipe, stopping production, or causing pressure loss.
This makes the DF868 an ideal solution for water, oil & gas, chemical, and energy applications where non-intrusive measurement and long-term reliability are critical.
Key Features of GE DF868 Flow Meter
Non-Intrusive Clamp-On Installation
- No pipe cutting or shutdown required
- No process contamination risk
- No pressure drop or moving parts
- Works on metal, plastic, and lined pipes
This dramatically reduces installation cost and maintenance compared to traditional flowmeters.
High Accuracy and Wide Measurement Range
- Velocity range: 0.03 to 12.2 m/s (0.1–40 ft/s)
- Pipe size range: 25 mm to 5 m (1 in – 200 in)
- Typical accuracy: ±1% of reading
- Excellent repeatability and long-term stability
Dual-Channel Measurement Capability
The DF868-2 configuration supports:
- Monitoring two separate pipes simultaneously, or
- Dual-path measurement on one pipe for higher accuracy.
This flexibility reduces equipment costs and improves system efficiency.
Advanced Data Logging & Communications
The transmitter includes a powerful built-in electronics platform:
- Dual LCD display with intuitive interface
- 43,000-point internal data logger
- Up to 12 analog outputs (4–20 mA)
- Alarm relays and pulse/frequency outputs
- Modbus and HART communication support
The DF868 integrates easily into DCS, PLC, and SCADA systems.
Energy Measurement Capability
When paired with temperature inputs, the DF868 can calculate:
- Thermal energy flow
- Heating and cooling system efficiency
- District energy performance
This makes it ideal for energy management and optimization.
Applications
The GE DF868 ultrasonic flowmeter is widely used across many industries:
Water & Utilities
- Drinking water distribution
- Wastewater treatment
- Chilled and hot water systems
- District heating and cooling
Oil & Gas Industry
- Crude oil and refined fuels
- Pipeline monitoring
- Offshore platforms
- Storage and transfer systems
Chemical & Process Industries
- Chemicals and solvents
- Glycol and cooling fluids
- Industrial process liquids
