Information about the Flow Meter

A Flow Meter allow to precisely monitor and record the product flow within a tubing or hose line. The measuring of the flow rate in critical processes in the pharmaceutical or also biotechnological industry is especially of high importance for the quality of the final product. By measuring with ultrasound sensors, a quick and automated monitoring of the flow is possible without any problems.

The Flow Meter with ultrasound can be done with two kinds of sensors. The non-invasive sensors that have no direct contact to the medium, because the tubing only gets inserted into the sensor. On the other hand, the inline-sensors which have direct contact with the medium, because the tubing gets attached to the sensor via hose barbs and the medium flows right through it.

The non-invasive flow meters prevent potential risks of contamination or leakage at the connection to the tubing. This increases the process safety remarkably and also prevents expensive losses of batches. The inline-sensors suit especially well for low flow rates and also achieve precise data even for smallest volumes. Both sensors are designed for multi-use and are suitable for steam-in-place, clean-in-place and also autoclave, depending on the model.

The current data and parameter can easily be displayed on an extern monitor. This works by simply plugging a cable into the sensor and the monitor. Additionally, all functions of the sensor can be accessed by a software on a computer. For instance, this facilitates setting up the parameters for calibration, also displays the measuring process and data and can export it afterwards.
