Ultrasonic Flow Sensor

The ProA Flow non-invasive clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter line provides accurate bioprocess volumetric liquid flow measurement for upstream and downstream operations. Using sound waves to measure flow velocity through the tubing wall, sensors clamp externally onto flexible plastic tubing with no process contact — eliminating contamination risk and making them well-suited for single-use bioprocess assemblies including silicone, TPE, PTFE, and PVC tubing.

Available in a wide range of tubing sizes and flow rates, ProA Flow ultrasonic flow meters include built-in analog output and digital communication options for integration with external control systems and automation platforms — including flow control applications.
