SierraModel InnovaSonic 203 -Economical Clamp-On Ultrasonic Water Flow Meter for Accurate Results

SHARE

The InnovaSonic 203 liquid flow meter is optimized for customers still looking for high performance, but needing a lower-cost, less feature-rich option for dedicated clamp-on ultrasonic metering. The 203 digital liquid flow meter optimizes the measurement of water as it flows in HVAC, irrigation and other liquid applications.

  • High performance at an affordable price
  • Simply clamp-on outside of pipe for easy set up
  • Save time with no pipe cutting or process shutdown

The InnovaSonic 203 digital flow meter:

  • Uses universal transit-time digital signal processing to offer excellent accuracy and repeatability for a wide variety of liquids
  • Determines the velocity of the fluid by measuring the time it takes an ultrasonic signal to travel a known distance with the flow stream, and another signal travelling against the flow stream
  • Features measurement that is independent of fluid conductivity to allow a wider applicability compared to magnetic meters

In addition, a programmable frequency output and VAC power emulates turbine/propeller meters for easy replacement or decommissioning of older technology flow devices.
