ST501 Insertion Ultrasonic Flowmeter for Challenging Flow Conditions in Industrial Settings

ST501 Insertion Type Ultrasonic Flowmeter

Ultrasonic flow meters that use transit-time methods to measure flow.

Introduction

ST501 Ultrasonic flow meter uses the most reliable digital signal processing technology, transmitting flow measurement for a wide range of liquid and pipe size with high accuracy and reliability. Combined the outstanding performance transducer with higher industrial level material, Flo-Instruments can have long time work without any worries.

Clear menu display selections make use of instruments very convenient. The IP68 transducer is more suitable for applying in harsh environments such as humidity and immersion. Simple interface makes it very convenient to operate.

The ST501 ultrasonic flowmeter is based on Transit-Time technology, which has high measurement accuracy. Insertion transducer refers to inserting the transducer into the inside of the pipeline for flow measurement. It can accurately measure the flow rate and flow velocity inside the liquid pipeline. The advantage of the insertion transducer is that it can keep the outer surface of the pipe flat, thereby reducing pressure loss, and has high reliability and measurement accuracy.
