Cadillac® CU-TE Compact Ultrasonic Meter
The Cadillac® Ultrasonic Flow Meters are rate and totalizing meters which are capable of measuring liquids, of all types, non-intrusively.
The Cadillac® Ultrasonic Flow Meters are rate and totalizing meters which are capable of measuring liquids, of all types, non-intrusively. Due to the CT-TE Compact design size (0.5” to 2.5”), it is particularly suitable as a low cost solution for Hot and Chilled water measurements.
Integrating Digital Processing (DSP) with advanced correlation detection methods, the flow meter features exceptional performance and flexibility. Combining ease of installation (non-intrusive pipe clamp-on), high accuracy, no moving parts, reliability, low maintenance, rangeability and no pressure drop, the Cadillac® CU-TE Compact Ultrasonic flow meter have become the fastest growing liquid flow technology in the world today.
As an option the Cadillac® CU-TE Compact Meter is an Energy Calculator designed to measure energy consumed in hot water heating and chilled water cooling systems. Supplied with temperature sensors, the calculator integrates the Cadillac® Ultrasonic Flow Meter to provide a low cost flexibility to meet all application needs. Modes of operation include: Heating and Cooling.
With fuel costs still on the rise and a need for improvement in energy measurement in smaller building spaces, Cadillac® is ready to introduce a low cost, compact Energy Measurement System to address these
requirements.
The Cadillac® CU-TE Compact BTU Meter is designed to measure the energy consumed in hot water heating and chilled water cooling systems. The meter is a rate and totalizing device, which can calculate and display Volume, Energy, and Temperatures.
The Cadillac® CU-TE Compact BTU / Energy Meter measures the temperature in the feed and return lines via two RTD transmitters and from this calculates the density and enthalpy of the water. In addition, by also measuring the volume of water flowing in the system via the Cadillac® flow meter, the CU-TE Compact will then compute, display, and output the Energy consumed.
The New Industry Standard
Combining Cadillac®’s CU-TE Compact ultrasonic flow meter with advanced electronics and the capability for temperature inputs the CU-TE Compact BTU / Energy meter is quickly become acknowledged as the industry standard. Customers choose the Cadillac® CU-TE Compact BTU / Energy Meter because of
proven: accuracy, dependability, consistency, maintenance and rangeability.

Product Summary
Combining ease of installation (non-intrusive pipe clamp-on), high accuracy, no moving parts, reliability, low maintenance, rangeability and no pressure drop, Cadillac® CU-TE Compact Ultrasonic flow meters have become the fastest growing liquid flow technology in the world today.
APPLICATIONS AND FEATURES
The Cadillac® Ultrasonic Flow Meters are rate and totalizing meters which are capable of measuring liquids, of all types, non-intrusively, including:
- Water
- Oil
- Chemical
The CU-TE Compact Ultrasonic Meter is a clamp on type-small pipe size solution that is compatible with piping materials such as:
- Stainless Steel
- Carbon Steel
- Copper
- Resin Pipe PVC
- Other
With its smaller compact size, the CU-TE is suitable for pipeline sizes between 0.5” to 2.5” (Inner Diameter 0.5” – Inner Diameter 2.56”)
Cadillac® CU-TE Compact Ultrasonic Meter – Features
Key product features are as following:
- Simple installation that only takes a few minutes and a user-friendly system that makes for easy operation.
- The new external clamp on design provides the ability to read the flow rate without touching the measurement medium. In return, this can avoid pressure loss or media contamination problems.
- The clamp on feature saves time and costs by eliminating the process of cutting into the pipeline, which also eliminates needing to shut down other equipment for long periods of time to complete the installation.
- 3” 256*128 LCD screen to display a variety of measuring information.
- Supplied with temperature sensors, the calculator integrates the Cadillac® CU-TE to provide flexibility to meet all application needs.
- Has the option to be used as an ultrasonic cooling (heat) meter/btu meter/ energy meter to realize the measurement of energy.
