- +10
- 360°
- Perfect sound velocity sensor for inline concentration measurement, interface detection, product identification, and quality control
- Robust, durable, precise
- Wetted parts, even for the toughest chemical applications
- No bypass, no pumps, no valves needed
Consisting of two types of sensors, our L-Sonic series builds on more than 30 years of experience developing sound velocity measurement technology. L-Sonic 5100 is a fork-type sound velocity meter, while L-Sonic 6100, a tube type meter, is tailor-made for high-precision OCR measurements.
Our sensors are made of wetted part materials, such as SST, Hastelloy, or Monel. From the chemistry, petroleum, and mining industries to the HVAC and beer ones, these easy-to-use sensors are used in industries all over the world.
