Feature

Ultrasonic water flow sensor feature

  • Non-contact Measurement: The clamp-on installation design positions the sensor probe against the pipe's exterior without penetrating the wall or contacting the fluid directly. This configuration is particularly suited for scenarios demanding stringent hygiene standards, fundamentally preventing cross-contamination and ensuring fluid purity.
  • Easy Installation: The ultrasonic water flow sensor employs a clamp-on mounting method that preserves the original pipe structure, significantly reducing installation complexity and time costs for immediate deployment.
  • Zero Pressure Loss: The flow sensor contains no moving parts internally. Fluid passes through with zero resistance and zero pressure loss. This design also eliminates accuracy degradation and failure risks caused by mechanical wear, ensuring the device operates stably and durably even in harsh environments.
  • Real-Time Detection: Based on the ultrasonic time-of-flight principle, the SUCH ultrasonic water flow sensor captures minute flow changes in real time with an accuracy of up to ±0.5% F.S. Response time is multi-stage adjustable from 50ms to 30s, accommodating dynamic monitoring needs across diverse operating conditions.

FAQ

Measurement is based on the principle of ultrasonic transit time difference: in a stationary state, the ultrasonic propagation time upstream and downstream is identical. When liquid flows, the ultrasonic propagation speed increases in the downstream direction and decreases in the upstream direction, creating a difference in propagation time between upstream and downstream. By precisely measuring this time difference, the real-time flow rate can be calculated.

  • In sterilization supply centers and medical equipment cooling systems, ultrasonic water flow sensors ensure precise liquid flow measurement, which is critical for maintaining stable patient vital signs.
  • In biopharmaceutical processes, accurate liquid flow control is key to ensuring product quality and production efficiency. Ultrasonic flow sensors accurately measure liquid flow in sterile production environments, guaranteeing process stability and consistency.
  • In semiconductor manufacturing, precise flow control is vital for process stability and product reliability. Flow sensors monitor liquid flow in real time during critical steps like etching, cleaning, and coating, ensuring precise production control.
  • On automated production lines, flow sensors accurately measure liquid flow to ensure stable equipment operation and production efficiency. Simultaneously, sensors provide real-time data to help engineers optimize production processes and enhance overall efficiency.
