Sonic Driver is launching a new product.

MOBILE-UFM

Turn a mobile phone into a high quality, accurate clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter.

The Sonic Driver™ POCKET™ MOBILE-UFM is a light weight, pocket sized instrument that clips onto a mobile phone to turn it into a low cost, high quality, accurate clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter. Its intuitive menu driven HMI runs as an app on the phone and makes it incredibly easy to use. Its size and the layout of the HMI means that it can be operated single handed. The instrument is powered from the phone battery. Yet all of this is achieved with no compromise in flow measurement performance. The meter incorporates heat quantity measurement functionality as standard. Its price point (£450) is aimed to put it in the range of plumbing and heating engineers.

  • Intuitive installation using menu driven HMI.
  • Full set of instrument and measurement diagnostics.
  • Signal oscilloscope for sensor positioning and diagnostics.
  • Internal database of common pipe materials and fluids.
  • Heat quantity measurement (if inlet and outlet temperatures are known).

Performance

  • Measurement principle, ultrasonic transit time difference.
  • Flow velocity range 0.01….10m/s.
  • Resolution 0.25mm/s.
  • Repeatability 0.15% of measured value.
  • Accuracy +/- 1-3% of measured value depending on application, +/- 0.5% of measured value with process calibration against reference meter.
  • Measurement rate 1Hz as standard.
  • Gas/solids <10% of volume.

Note 1. IP and ambient temperature ratings are intended to match those of most mobile phone manufacturers.

POCKET-UFM

The POCKET-UFM is a light weight, truly pocket sized instrument. Its intuitive menu driven HMI makes it incredibly easy to use. Its size and the layout of its display and keypad means that it can be operated single handed. Yet all of this is achieved with no compromise in measurement performance. It even incorporates wall thickness and heat quantity measurement functionality as standard.
