HNF100-B wall-mounted split ultrasonic flow meter and heat meter with intelligent hybrid signal-processing host, 2×20 backlit LCD and 16/4-key keypad. Transit-time measurement in single, dual or up to four channels for large pipes, disturbed flow and high accuracy; clamp-on, bracket, insertion or pipe-section transducers, DN15–DN6000. Flow, temperature and pressure on one screen; 3/4-wire PT100/PT1000 supply/return sensors for heat metering.
The HNF100-B is a wall-mounted split-type ultrasonic flow meter and heat meter built around an intelligent hybrid signal-processing host, with a 2×20 dot-matrix backlit LCD and a 16-key or 4-key membrane keypad. The converter is fixed on the wall with four Φ6 expansion bolts or nails. Transit-time measurement between upstream and downstream transducers is available in single-channel and multi-channel versions up to four channels, which suits large pipes, disturbed flow profiles and higher accuracy requirements. Clamp-on, bracket, insertion and pipe-section transducers can all be connected, covering DN15–DN6000. Flow, temperature and pressure can be measured and displayed on the same screen; three- or four-wire PT100/PT1000 sensors on the supply and return legs give cold and heat metering.
The multi-channel host and transducers combine arbitrarily for dual-channel or four-channel measurement, which improves accuracy and reliability on large mains and uneven flow. Clamp-on sensors stick to the pipe surface without cutting the line or stopping the process; insertion and pipe-section options cover lined, buried or high-temperature mains. Over 100 numbered menu windows guide setup of pipe size, material, lining, fluid, transducer type and mounting method, with zero calibration, damping, low-flow cut-off, scale-factor correction and 11+ segment flow linearisation.
Good fit: water supply and drainage, district heating and cooling, HVAC and building energy, industrial process water, chemical and petrochemical, power plant cooling water, metallurgy and steel, water treatment and sewage, pulp and paper, pump and pipeline monitoring, large-pipe flow measurement, energy audit and heat billing, retrofit of existing pipelines.
Choose HNF100-B when:
A large pipe, disturbed flow profile or high accuracy requirement calls for dual- or four-channel measurement.
The host must be wall-mounted and readable, with clamp-on, bracket, insertion or pipe-section transducers to suit site access.
Heat metering, data logging with history query, batch control, alarms and RS485 Modbus integration are required.
Confirm with us first for gases, non-conducting or highly viscous liquids, pressure above the selected transducer rating, or pipes outside the listed materials and sizes.
Upstream and downstream transducers exchange ultrasound alternately. At zero flow the transit times match; flowing liquid shortens the downstream path and lengthens the upstream path, and the time difference is proportional to flow velocity. Single or multiple channels integrate the velocity over the bore. The menu records pipe OD, wall thickness, material, lining and fluid; the converter computes spacing, passes and V/Z method. Acceptance is checked by live signal strength (≥60) and Q value (>60).

When are multiple ultrasonic channels beneficial?
On large pipes, uneven or disturbed flow profiles and high-accuracy duties, dual- or four-channel measurement averages the velocity profile and improves accuracy and reliability; two-channel accuracy is ±1 %, four-channel ±0.5 %.
Which transducer styles span DN15 to DN6000?
Clamp-on, bracket, insertion and pipe-section transducers can all be connected. Clamp-on fits existing pipes without shutdown; insertion and pipe-section suit lined, buried or high-temperature mains.
Does it support low-flow cutoff adjustment?
Yes. Low-flow cut-off is adjustable in the menu, default 0.03 m/s, together with damping, meter factor and 11+ segment flow linearisation.
How much straight pipe is required near pumps or half-open valves?
Allow 10D upstream and 5D downstream; keep 30D from a pump outlet or a half-open valve, and avoid vibration and strong electrical interference.
What signal strength and quality values are required?
Before accepting the reading, check live signal strength ≥60 and Q value >60; weak or unstable values indicate a poor transducer mounting or surface condition.
Send the pipe size, material, fluid, temperature, channel count and required outputs. We will confirm the transducer model and configuration before quotation.
