New ultrasound flow measurement device for continuous water measurement

The new ultrasound flow sensor type SY02CS impresses with its excellent price/performance ratio and is suitable for use in temperature control applications.

With the ultrasonic flow measurement device type SY02CS, the fluid technology specialist Bürkert presents a new system module for water flow measurement at Fakuma 2014, which is particularly suitable for use in cooling and temperature control systems. It is characterized by low pressure loss and requires no inlet and outlet lengths.

The device features a very wide measurement range from 0.3 to 75 l/min, allowing it to detect even the smallest flow rates. Additionally, it has an integrated temperature measurement. Due to the ultrasonic measurement principle, flow measurement occurs without moving parts, making the new module resistant to contamination, maintenance-friendly, and easy to service. The measurement dynamic is 1:250.

The ultrasonic flow measurement device type SY02CS consists of an electronic module, a sensing element, and the brass fitting. As a system module, it can be very easily integrated with the controllers, control valves, and displays also supplied by Bürkert, connected to a suitable PLC for flow control lines.

The new ultrasonic sensor, which is predestined for use in cost-sensitive applications due to its favorable price/performance ratio, is the result of intensive research work, with Bürkert ushering in a new generation of flow measurement devices. The sensor manufacturer plans to introduce a cartridge version in stainless steel for the coming year, suitable for a wide range of applications, including high-temperature applications and hygienic production facilities.
