Ultrasonic Flow Meters

The Innova-Sonic line of ultrasonic flow meters consists of universal transit-time devices for use in digital signal processing applications. The Innova-Sonic Portable incorporates a Bluetooth wireless PDA interface to ensure flexibility and convenience. The Innova-Sonic is also available with a fixed display readout with clamp-on or insertion transducers. Although the device is especially designed for clean liquid applications, it also tolerates liquids with small amounts of air bubbles or suspended solids common in industrial environments. Features include enhanced reliability and applicability, low power consumption, an easy-to-read display, and user-friendly menu selections. Packaged in a die cast NEMA 4X (IP65) housing, the flow meter can be configured via a keypad without any additional programming devices. Innova-Sonic features a self-contained 4-20 mA current loop signal output for instantaneous flow as well as two independent temperature inputs for thermal energy monitoring. The device also features a seven-digit alpha-numeric display; parallel operation of positive, negative, and net flow totalizers (with user-selectable scale factors); and configurable pulse and frequency outputs (transmitted via relay and open collector) for totalized flow. The Innova-Sonic flow meter offers an accuracy better than +/۪.5 percent and an operating temperature range of -40° to +300°F. With one meter capable of supporting pipe sizes ranging from 1 to 200 in. (25 to 5,000 mm), the device can detect the volumetric flow rate of most liquids and provide daily, monthly, and yearly totalized flow.
