FlowCERT - The accurate open channel
flow system
The Pulsar FlowCERT, recently launched by Pulsar Process Measurement, is the most accurate open channel flow measurement system available anywhere, for MCERTS measurements
Pulsar Process Measurement of Malvern announce the launch of FlowCERT, a new non-contacting ultrasonic open channel flow measurement system that uses unique and patented technology to achieve measurement accuracy that was previously impossible, helping companies to achieve the MCERTS standards FlowCERT consists of a dedicated control unit, which makes calculations to BS3680 across every regularly used flume and weir type, and offers datalogging and RS485 digital communications

The Pulsar new level range is deceptively simple
"Blackbox" is a newly launched component ultrasonic level measurement range from Pulsar Process Measurement, allowing users to select the output they need for their specific application
Fascia mount option for Ultra range of sensors
Pulsar Process Measurement have made all of their core "Ultra" range of ultrasonic level and flow measurement and control equipment available in a fascia-mount format
This is coupled with a choice of sensor, either the Pulsar high-frequency dBMach3 transducer or their patented Duet.
Duet is a new concept in ultrasonic measurement featuring two transducers mounted on a common frame, one higher than the other.
Both transducers fire together, but the echoes returning from the flow surface are only processed at the lower unit.
By constantly monitoring the phase difference between the two transducers, Duet dynamically compensates for any changes in the speed of sound between the transducers and liquid surface.
The speed of sound varies with temperature, and conventional temperature compensation equipment does not react quickly enough to be really effective.
Temperature variations provide the major source of process inaccuracy when using ultrasonic equipment, so by completely removing temperature effects, Duet is a significant breakthrough.
In tests, against a temperature variation of more than 30C, Duet plus FlowCERT achieved linear measurement accuracies of +/-0.5mm.
FlowCERT also offers 32-point linearisation and velocity x area flow calculations where no primary measurement device exists, with the addition of the Pulsar 'Speedy' velocity sensor.
Speedy is available either as a "wedge" sensor to be fitted to the bottom of a channel or pipe, or as a pipe sensor.
In both cases the Doppler effect is used to calculate the liquid flow velocity. Request a free brochure from Pulsar Process Measurement ...
