SONOTEC CO.55 Non-Invasive Flow Sensor

SONOTEC’s SONOFLOW CO.55 detects the flow rate of liquids in plastic tubes quickly and reliably using ultrasonic measurement. The non-invasive ultrasonic sensor has no contact with the medium and is particularly suited for applications with strict hygienic standards. The clamp-on mounting concept eliminates any risk of contamination or leaking.
