Why Choose ClampOn

ClampOn has since the beginning in 1994 grown to be the largest supplier of passive ultrasonic systems for sand/particle detection to the international energy industry.

quality

The leading supplier of topside and subsea Ultrasonic Intelligent Sensors

All products supplied by ClampOn, sand detector, PIG detector, corrosion-erosion monitor, vibration monitor and leak monitor are based on the same, well proven technology platform. Both the topside and the subsea instruments incorporate Digital Signal Processing (DSP), complete digitalization eliminating analogue filters, circuits and amplifiers.

The ClampOn Ultrasonic Intelligent Sensor processes all data in the sensor itself (patented principle), thus enabling the instrument to discriminate between sand-generated and flow-generated noise. This is of importance to the user since changes in flow rates and the gas/oil ratio will not affect the performance of the system.

A good signal to noise (s/n) ratio is vital for quality measurements of this sort, and ClampOn’s sensors are the very best in this respect. With the new version, the external noise has been completely eliminated.
The sensors has memory capacity for storing up to 60 days of data, and can even be reprogrammed between being a sand monitor, a PIG detector or a leak monitor.

Always Numero Uno!

The first ClampOn sensor was installed in BP’s Gyda field in the North Sea. Since then ClampOn has supplied more than 20.000 topside and subsea instruments globally.

From the very beginning, ClampOn’s business strategy has been to develop and manufacture sensors based on a generic technology platform, and at the same time perform different operations. The Ultrasonic Intelligent Sensor technology is the platform for all of our products. The sensor functions are determined by different versions of ClampOn software.

Some of the most important factors for our success have been the commitment to quality products based on ease of assembly, selection of components, subcontractors, in-house production and standardization in providing ‘state-of-the-art’ solutions to our clients.
