Editors Choice BREAKTHROUGH IN FLUID FLOW MEASUREMENT FROM SENTRONICS Sentronics Limited’s FlowSonic LF ultrasonic sensor represents a breakthrough in the measurement of low- rate fluid flows (0-4 ltr/ min) especially suited to challenging environments. Using proprietary technology proven in Formula 1 and Le Mans competition, the FlowSonic features solid-state design in a super-compact and lightweight package, easy portability between test bench and field operations, laboratory-quality flow data with industry-leading accuracy (+/-0.5%) and repeatability (+/-0.15%), a 2.2 kHz measurement rate with 500:1 turndown ratio, race-proven reliability and durability, extreme robustness and vibration tolerance, -20°C to +120°C temperature range, compatibility with a wide range of fluid types, internal processing and diagnostics, multiple output formats, and minimal running and maintenance cost. A high- flow (0-500 ltr/min) version will be available later in 2018.
