New In-line Ultrasonic Flow Meter with Order-of-magnitude Improvement to Transit-time Measurement Technology

Sierra (USA)`s new Innova-Sonic® In-Line is targeted to customers as an alternative choice for typical liquid Mag-Meter applications where high performance and affordable pricing are important. The +/- 0.5% of reading accuracy is as good as any typical magnetic flowmeter, but the ability to measure down to zero flow and virtually any clean
liquid regardless of conductivity sets Sierra`s Innova-Sonic® In-Line apart. Literally an order-of-magnitude improvement in transit-time ultrasonic flow measurement, Sierra’s PicoFly™ technology is an industry first. PicoFly™ allows ultrasonic transit time-of-flight to be measured in picoseconds 10 -12 (one trillionth of a second) rather than the typical nanoseconds 10 -9 (one billionth of a second). The result is excellent resolution that enables extreme low flow detection. Innova-Sonic® In-Line is an ideal choice for any liquid flow application found in general industry including clean liquid applications. The meter is also tolerant of liquids with the small amount of air bubbles or suspended solids commonly found in most industrial flow applications.
