This compact and easy to install device operates on the ‘time of flight’ principle with the two integral sensors sending and receiving ultrasound. It then measures the speed of propagation and calculates the flow rate on a continuous basis.

The mounting provisions for the U1000 make it easily adaptable to different diameters and types of pipework and it is suitable for a wide variety of applications.

The U1000 can be installed on pipes with diameters from 25 to 11 mm and is able to measure flow rates from 0.1 to 10 metres per second. The model is suitable for use on a wide variety of pipe materials including PVC, ABS, PVDF. PE, PP and PB Instaflex, with an operating temperature from plus 50 degrees centigrade down to zero.
