Chapter 1 Introduction
SonoPro ® Ultrasonic Flow Meters
The VorTek Instruments’ SonoPro
®
Series ultrasonic flow meters provide a reli-
able solution for process flow measurement. From the externally mounted trans-
ducers, volumetric flow can be calculated non-invasively.
Multi-Parameter Mass Flow Meters
Mass flow can be determined by using the volumetric flow reading from
the clamp on ultrasonic transducers and measurements from the external
temperature sensors.
Volumetric Flow Meters
The primary sensing elements of the volumetric flow meter are the clamp
on ultrasonic sensors. The analog 4-20 mA output signals offer your
choice of volumetric or mass flow rate. Mass flow rate is based on a
constant value for fluid density stored in the instrument’s memory.
Both the mass and volumetric flow meters come standard with a local
keypad/display which provides instantaneous flow rate, total, and process
parameters in engineering units. A pulse output signal for remote totali-
zation and frequency output are also available. SonoPro
®
digital elec-
tronics allows for easy reconfiguration for most liquids. The VorTek Se-
ries SonoPro
®
Meters’ simple installation combines with an easy -to-use
interface that provides quick set up, long term reliability and accurate
volume or mass flow measurement over a wide range of flows, pressures,
and temperatures.
