A breakthrough in ATEX Zone 0 velocity sensing

19 Nov, 2025

Mainstream Measurements Ltd has launched of MainProbeX, a next-generation ultrasonic velocity sensor engineered for high-risk, high-demand flow monitoring applications.

Combining ATEX Zone 0 certification with exceptional measurement precision, MainProbeX is set to redefine performance standards across the water, wastewater and industrial sectors.

MainProbeX performs a range of important functions: ATEX Zone 0 certification for safe operation in explosive atmospheres; high-accuracy ultrasonic velocity measurement in challenging hydraulic conditions; ultra-low power performance ideal for long-term remote deployments; ModBus RTU (RS-485) connectivity for seamless integration; and built-in intelligent diagnostics for fast, reliable installation.

Powered by the Mainstream Adaptive Measurement System (MAMS), MainProbeX continuously optimises energy use and signal quality, ensuring dependable, stable data even in demanding environments. It is designed to give utilities, engineers, and monitoring providers complete confidence in their flow data, without sacrificing battery life or installation time.

“MainProbeX is the result of precision engineering and decades of industry expertise,” says Managing Director Bev Bruce. “It represents a major step forward in hazardous-area velocity sensing and gives our customers the reliability they need for the next generation of monitoring challenges.”

The future of precision velocity measurement is here.
