Leviflow® LFS-008

LEVIFLOW^® flowmeter series is designed for non invasive high precision flow measurements of high purity fluids. Figure 1 illustrates the operating principle. Two piezoelectric transducers, mounted at both ends of the measuring path of the fluid stream, generate and receive an ultrasonic wave. The wave going in direction of the flow (with-stream wave) is accelerated and the wave going against (against-stream wave) the flow direction is slowed down. The two waves are processed by a signal converter. The difference of the transmit time of both waves is proportional to the velocity of the fluid.

Levitronix provides now a sensor especially developed for low flow applications. The LFS-008 flowmeter is able to measure flows from 800 ml/min down to 1 ml/min.
