Valmax’s Ultrasonic flow transmitter is a type of flow Transmitter that measures the velocity of a fluid with ultrasound to calculate volume flow.
The Ultrasonic flow transmitter measures the difference of the transit time of ultrasonic pulses propagating in and against the flow direction. It is affected by the acoustic properties of the fluid and can be impacted by temperature, density, viscosity and suspended particulates depending on the exact flow Transmitter. Unlike mechanical flow meters such as turbine, vortex, malfunction, etc), the only minimum maintenance cost is required because there are no moving parts.
