  • Adaptive signal processing algorithms optimize performance, ensuring accurate measurements even in challenging flow conditions
  • Clear display interface and LCD display with alarm function, easy to operate and debug
  • Utilizes transit-time ultrasonic technology to realize bidirectional flow measurement by precisely measuring ultrasonic signal travel times
  • Leverage data logging capabilities to analyze historical flow patterns for system optimization
  • Built-in keypad and simple menu system for fast programming of pipe diameter, material, liquid type, and measurement units
Measurement Principle

The Transit-Time Ultrasonic Flow Meter, also known as Time-of-Flight (TVT) ultrasonic flow meter, is a non-intrusive flow measurement technology widely used for clean liquid applications. It operates on the principle of measuring the time difference between ultrasonic signals transmitted in the direction of flow and against the flow direction.
