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
