Product Overview
Thermo’s Polysonics SX40 Dedicated Doppler Flowmeter generates two
independent ultrasonic signals at different frequencies. By correlating these
frequencies, the instrument automatically identifies and eliminates noise
errors from sources such as variable frequency drives.
In addition, operation of the instrument is enhanced by an Expert System
which allows the flowmeter to automatically “learn” the application
parameters. As a result, the flowmeter can be easily commissioned in a
fraction of the time required to configure competitive ultrasonic
flowmeters.
Refer to the following list of part numbers to order spare parts for your
instrument.
