BIRD Wireless Particle Monitor URL: https://www.clampon.com/products/bird-wireless-particle-monitor/ Type: ProductPage Updated: 2026-09-24 The non-intrusive BIRD Particle Monitor provides accurate information on sand production and can be used for finding maximum sand free production rate. The ClampOn BIRD is a unique wireless acoustic sensor for the offshore, downstream and unconventional market. The BIRD Particle monitor is non-intrusive and can be clamped to the outside of the pipe for monitoring of sand / particles in the flow. Any owner or operator of a factory would surely like to operate it as efficiently and profitably as possible. An oil or gas well can be regarded as a factory, and the ClampOn BIRD sand monitor gives operators the best tool for maximizing profits. ClampOn’s DSP sand / particle monitoring systems operate on thousands of wells every year, and the company is the world’s largest supplier of sand monitoring systems. ClampOn is the natural choice for sand monitoring and management programs! How the ClampOn BIRD Particle Monitor works The sensor detects the ultrasonic signal that is generated by particles impacting on the inside of the pipewall, just after the bend where the sensor is installed. Monitoring is done in real time, giving reliable data when a well starts producing sand. ClampOn BIRD Wireless Monitor Advantages of using the ClampOn BIRD Particle Monitor • Non-intrusive • Wireless • Internal PowerModule • Versatile • Real-time measurement Sand production in oil and gas wells is a serious issue facing oil and gas producers. The challenge is not merely to avoid sand production, but also to increase commercial well productivity, as even small quantities of particles in the well flow can cause significant damage. As an operator you are interested in maximum production and profit from your wells, no matter what technology you use. Operators all over the world have made ClampOn their preferred supplier of sand monitoring systems, due to the patented technology that turns their wells into profit generators. The BIRD Particle monitor provides accurate information on sand production and is used for finding maximum sand free production rate. It can also help establishing maximum acceptable sand rate and hence limit the corrosion / erosion in pipes or structures. With wireless communication and power from an integral long lasting PowerModule, the need for expensive cabling, complex wiring diagrams, and termination boxes is now a thing of the past. The ClampOn BIRD offers the latest technology, including energy efficient Digital Signal Processing (DSP), a very low power RF node, and a sub 1 GHz programmable ultra-low power mode. These technologies combine to allow the sensor to operate for a year on a single PowerModule. The ClampOn BIRD sensor continuously monitors the condition of the PowerModule and will inform the client when it is time to replace the module. Integration of the ClampOn BIRD Particle Monitor With its wireless connection interface, the ClampOn BIRD instrument utilizes a self-forming mesh network that will add any additional ClampOn BIRD instrument to the network automatically. By connecting to the ClampOn Router data from the instruments is retrieved using Modbus and can be integrated to a control system or standard ClampOn monitoring software. Mesh network Installation of ClampOn BIRD Particle Monitor ClampOn BIRD Particle Monitor The instruments can easily be clamped to a pipe. Installing and setting up an entire network of ClampOn BIRD instruments is done in only a few hours. Even installation in remote and rural locations is no longer a problem, as repeaters can be used to extend the network.
