Badger TFX-5000 Clamp-on Meter

The TFX-5000 transit-time ultrasonic flow meter delivers precise volumetric flow and heating/cooling energy measurement in clean liquids, as well as fluids containing light suspended solids or aeration, including raw sewage and surface water. Its clamp-on design allows installation on the outside of the pipe, with no contact with the internal liquid and no interruption to system operation.

Key Benefits of the TFX-5000

By mounting externally on the pipe, the TFX-5000 offers advantages over traditional inline meter technologies:
• Quick, cost-effective installation
• Non-invasive and non-contact measurement
• Install without system shutdown
• No pressure drop or head loss
• No internal moving parts, reducing maintenance

TFX-5000 Features

• Wide bi-directional flow measurement range
• Onboard data logging for up to 8 records
• Communication options including Modbus® RTU, BACnet® MS/TP over EIA-485, Modbus TCP/IP, BACnet/IP and AquaCUE®/BEACON® connectivity
• Easy setup and diagnostics via USB and SoloCUE® software
• Compensation for Reynolds number, ultrasonic wave speed and temperature
• Large, high-visibility graphical display
• Durable aluminum enclosure designed for harsh environments

Application Suitability

The TFX-5000 is available in two configurations tailored to user requirements:

• Flow meter version – Suitable for measuring water delivery, sewage, cooling water, water-glycol blends, alcohols and chemical solutions

• Energy measurement version – Used with dual clamp-on RTDs for temperature monitoring, making it ideal for hydronic systems, district energy networks and commercial HVAC applications

The TFX-5000 provides a high-performance, non-invasive and cost-efficient solution for water, wastewater and energy metering in commercial, industrial and municipal environments.
