About the
MicroFlow
The MicroFlow is a non-contacting velocity sensor. The sensor provides
reliable flow velocity measurements using short pulses of micro-waves, which
are transmitted by an enclosed antenna. When reflected off a moving surface,
the signal experiences a shift in frequency characteristics. The reflected signal
is captured by the on-board microprocessor via the antenna, and analysed to
determine the velocity.
The
MicroFlow’s compact and versatile design makes it easy to install and
ideal for confined spaces. Housed in a robust enclosure coupled with a fully
encapsulated microwave antenna, it provides an effective fit-and-forget flow
velocity solution.
PC software is available to allow setup and run diagnostics using
MicroFlow
PC via a RS 485 connection. The MicroFlow is compatible for use with
Pulsar’s
, FlowCERT, Velocity Interface and Ultimate controllers to obtain
velocity readings. The MicroFlow can also be retrofitted to replace existing in-
process contacting sensors.
Overall the device has outstanding stability, accuracy and repeatability.
