Ultrasonic flow meter improves reliability

The SU Puresonic detects flows with high precision at volumes up to 1,000 l/min. Thanks to ultrasonic technology, this also applies to ultra-pure water with low conductivity, such as that produced in reverse osmosis plants. The signal strength, which can be used as a quality and maintenance indicator, is also continuously recorded.

The measuring tube of the SU Puresonic is made of stainless steel and is free of measuring elements, seals and moving parts. This means that errors due to damage, leaks or blockages are excluded, as is the pressure drop caused by the design.
