Leading Ultrasonic Flow Meter Manufacturers

Ultrasonic Flow Meter

As you may know, flowmeters are commonly separated into two different categories, one for flow meters which measure the rate of flow by volume and the other which measures the rate of flow by the mass of the fluid.

Doppler flow meters, or ultrasonic flow meters, differ from the norm as they utilize sound to determine the rate of flow within a system. These flow meters are a great fit for applications in the wastewater industry or similar applications that have dirty liquids that are water based or conductive. Read More…

Ultrasonic flow meters rely on the Doppler effect, which is a term that represents the shift in frequencies that happens when the ultrasonic signal is reflected in the form of bubbles in motion or suspended particles. The transducer in the flow meter transmits ultrasonic sound through the pipe that contains the flowing fluid, the bubbles or particles will reflect these sound waves with different frequencies depending on the rate of flow of the fluid.

This data is picked up by a second transducer which will report the difference, this system allows for accurate measurements of the flow rate. These flow meters are ideal for applications where low maintenance, chemical compatibility and low pressure drop are necessary. It is important to note that ultrasonic flow meters will not work with drinkable or distilled water as the liquid is too clean to measure the change in frequencies.

Ultrasonic flow meters are commonly made from steel or similar metals as they withstand the corrosive environments that ultrasonic flow meters are often placed in. Before purchasing an ultrasonic flow meter it is important to consider the size of the pipe, minimum and maximum rate of flow and the minimum/maximum of both the temperature and pressure needed.

As with all things in the manufacturing world it is essential to consult an expert in the field before making a large purchase. We suggest contacting trusted flow meter manufactures to see if they can provide a high quality solution based on your unique specifications and requirements.

Coriolis Flow Meters

Coriolis Flow Meters

A Coriolis flow meter measures mass by the inertia of a liquid or gas flowing through a vibrating tube that is equipped with a set of sensors at the inlets and outlets of the meter. The increased movement of the flow produces measurable oscillation that is proportional to the mass...

Flow Switches

Piston Type Flow Switch

A flow switch is a device that measures the flow rate and liquid pressure within a duct, loop, or system. Flow sensor and flow indication are other names for this switch. The primary purpose of a flow switch is to continually...

Level Switches

Level Switch

A level switch is an electrical or mechanical method for measuring the level of a liquid, powder, or granule material. It is designed to activate an alarm if the material level in a container passes a predetermined height or depth...

Magnetic Flow Meters

Magnetic Flow Meters

A magnetic flow meter is a volumetric flow meter that uses electrodes connected to the liquid flow to measure the velocity of fluids in a tube or pipe. The unique design of magnetic flow meters allows them to take their readings without the need for any moving parts...

Mass Flow Meters

Mass Flow Meters

A mass flow meter is a way of measuring the volume or mass of a gas or liquid passing through a system at a specific point in the flow system. They are used to measure linear, nonlinear, mass, and volumetric flow rates...

Ultrasonic Flow Meters

Ultrasonic Flow Meters

An ultrasonic flow meter measures the flow of a liquid or gas by sending ultrasonic waves across a pipe, containing the flow in the direction of the flow and in the opposite direction of the flow. The ultrasonic waves and the velocity of...
