Page 4: Typical Applications
1 – TYPICAL APPLICATIONS MiniSonic P and P-B main purpose is to offer a performing flow measurement solution at a very competitive price by saving any installation costs. With clamp-on transducers, there is no need of any spool piece or tapping by keeping the same final accuracy than any flowmeter. - Page 5 1-2 - The clamp on solution is available for most of the liquids flowing in metallic or plastic pipes. Ultraflux offers a very wide transducers range with different sizes and frequencies to be selected depending on the application and pipe diameter from 10 mm I.D. to more than 3 metres.
