Sonotec Ultrasonic Inline Flow Meter
SONOFLOW IL.52
The SONOFLOW IL.52 sensor is designed for precise, fast, and bidirectional measurement of ultra-low flow rates. Due to its instantaneous measuring method with high repetition rates, the ultrasonic inline flow meter is suitable for quick dosing processes and for measuring pulsating flows.
- Highly accurate measurement of ultra-low flows
- Quick measurement without any time lag
- Independent of colour and electromagnetic characteristics of the liquid
- Instantaneous response time
- No wear and tear
- Sterilizable
SONOFLOW® IL.52 Inline Flow Meter for Highly Accurate Ultra-Low Flow Measurement
- Real-time flow measurement
- Volume dosing / totalizer
- Flow switch for controlling external devices
Robust & Maintenance-Free Sensor Design
Since the sensor is integrated into devices or machines and has direct contact with the medium, the parts in contact with the medium are made of high-grade PEEK material. Thus, the inline sensor is ready for sterilization-in-place (SIP), clean-in-place (CIP), and autoclave applications. In addition, the sensor impresses with its robust design, is wear- and maintenance-free and can be fitted in any position.
Excellent Measuring Performance
The SONOFLOW IL.52 monitors ultra-low flows reliably without being affected by the color and electromagnetic characteristics of the liquid itself:
- Reliable measuring of ultra-low flows
- Highly accurate (with an error of +/- 1%)
- Highly precise (with a repeatability of +/- 1%)
Easy Data Evaluation and Process Integration
A serial interface allows an easy connection to a PLC or computer. Using the C³ Software tool allows an easy sensor parameterization & calibration and readout of measuring values. It is also possible to connect the sensor to the SONOFLOW RD.10 Remote Display for direct real-time monitoring.
- Serial interface with RS-485 Modbus protocol
- Freely configurable 0/4-20 mA current output
- Freely configurable 0-20 kHz frequency output
- Freely configurable impulse output

"I received the cart yesterday, thanks for the fast delivery! It feels sturdy. I sat on it. It does not bounce. It is also easy to clean and wipe or wash down."
Vice President, Analytical Development and Manufacturing
"Thanks again for reacting so quickly and meeting me halfway with the element. We will be able to get installed and have things keep moving overnight with the night crew. The little things like this are always greatly appreciated when working with Liquidyne."

“This pump cut our processing time from 3 days to 1 shift. I’m not giving this pump back. You will have to come and get it if you want it... and that won’t likely happen.”
