How much does it cost to rent a clamp-on flow meter?

The Ultra ProLite is $699 per week and the Ultraflux UF801-P is $899 per week. A minimum charge of $500 applies to any rental, so short jobs are billed at that minimum. Overnight delivery is charged separately depending on destination.

Do you rent outside Texas?

Yes. Meters ship overnight to all 50 states from our Houston facility. Houston and Gulf Coast customers can also collect in person.

Do I need to shut the line down to install the meter?

No. Both meters are clamp-on. The transducers strap to the outside of the pipe with coupling gel and a clamping rail, so there is no cutting, drilling or process interruption.

What pipe sizes do the rental meters cover?

DN10 to DN1000, roughly 0.4 to 40 inch. The Ultraflux UF801-P covers the full DN10 to DN1000 range; the Ultra ProLite covers DN25 to DN600.

Can these meters measure slurry or sewage?

No. Both are transit-time meters for clean liquids in full pipes. Slurry, sludge and heavily aerated lines need a Doppler meter, which we do not rent.

Ultra ProLite clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter rental taking a reading on a red fire main — **Ultra ProLite on a fire main.** Transducers strapped to the outside of the riser, flow read through the wall with no hose stream and no water discharged. NFPA 25 fire pump testing · ProLite specs, $699/week

What we rent

We rent clamp-on transit-time meters and nothing else. That is the whole fleet, and it is deliberate — two units we know completely, kept calibrated, shipped the same day they are booked.

Ultra ProLite — the budget meter

DN25 to DN600. A straightforward clamp-on meter for straightforward water jobs, at $699 per week.

Ultra ProLite budget clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter rental with transducer pair — Flow rate and totalised volume on one screen, logged internally and exported to a spreadsheet over USB.

If the job is clean water in a 1 to 24 inch pipe and you need a defensible flow number, this does it for $200 a week less than the UF801-P. Built-in datalogger, Excel output over USB, 230 grams in the hand.

Ultraflux UF801-P — the performance meter

DN10 to DN1000. The advanced instrument, at $899 per week.

Ultraflux UF801-P advanced clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter rental mounted on a pipe — DSP signal processing, automatic Reynolds correction and a multi-parameter datalogger that reads out to dedicated PC software.

Reaches smaller and larger pipe than the ProLite at both ends, logs unattended for up to two months, takes a BTU energy kit, and connects to a PC with dedicated software for analysis rather than a raw spreadsheet. Probe kits are available to +140 °C and for difficult conditions.

Both ship as a complete kit

Transducers, cables, clamping rail, coupling gel, spare batteries, tape measure and hard case. Nothing to source locally. How shipping works.

What these meters will not do

Worth reading before you book. Both units are transit-time meters for clean liquid in a full pipe. Neither is a Doppler.

If your application falls outside that, say so when you call and we will tell you straight away rather than shipping a meter that cannot read your line.
