Bürkert Fluid Control Systems has created a ground-breaking flowmeter that uses surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology to measure flow as well as the density factor and the acoustic transmission factor (ATF) of fluid.
The FLOWave flowmeter uses a smooth stainless steel tube for non-contact measurement of fluids in hygienic applications.
The ATF allows FLOWave to detect bubbles or solids in the liquid, while the density factor highlights changes in liquid flow, for example when a CIP process ends and normal production flow resumes. Instead of a time-based changeover, which can lead to wastage of expensive chemicals and valuable products, FLOWave can minimise these costs.
