Sonotec Ultrasonic Clamp-on Flow Meter
SONOFLOW CO.55
The ultrasonic clamp-on flow meter SONOFLOW CO.55 detects the flow rate of liquids in flexible plastic tubes quickly and reliably. The non-invasive sensor has no contact with the medium and is particularly suited for applications with strict hygienic standards. The clamp-on mounting concept eliminates any risk of contamination or leaking.
