MACE Doppler velocity sensor types
MACE designs and manufactures Doppler ultrasonic velocity sensors for use in full-pipes, partially-full pipes
and open channels.MACE manufactures three different style of sensor to enable easy installation in a wide
variety of applications. Our Doppler ultrasonic velocity sensors with MASP technology and no moving parts
are easy to install and virtually maintenance free.
MACE Doppler ultrasonic insert velocity sensor
This type of sensor is used in full pipes where access into the pipe is impractical or when it may be necessary
to remove the sensor in the future without stopping the flow or emptying the pipe.
Insertion sensors require access to the outside wall of the pipe in which the sensor is to be mounted. The 2”
insertion sensor should be used in pipes that have a diameter of greater than 100 mm (4”).
NOTE: MACE recommends that a ball or gate valve is always used when installing
insertion sensors so that sensor maintenance can occur without requiring the pipe to
be emptied of liquid.
The MACE Doppler ultrasonic velocity insert sensor is connected to a FloSeries3 Doppler card .
