Watch the Video
Learn how PSG Bitoech provides accurate, intuitive and non-invasive ultrasonic flow sensors for use in biopharmaceutical processing. The BioProTT transducers, with transit-time technology, provide simple, clamp-on flow measurement of tubing systems in the video above.
Space Saving Design
Utilizing a highly integrated digital electronic design, the PSG Biotech flow meter offers a remarkably compact footprint, allowing you to save valuable space while achieving greater accuracy in flow measurement through its non-invasive technology.
Overview
Leveraging transit-time technology, the PSG Biotech flow sensor, with its BioProTT transducer provides accurate and straightforward clamp-on flow measurement for tubing systems. This pre-calibrated sensor requires no priming and offers the flexibility of seven on-board calibration tables. The intuitive click-lock mechanism allows for rapid, contamination-free installation on flexible hoses, eliminating pressure drops and assembly splicing. Unlike invasive methods, the PSG Biotech flow meter's design features no moving parts, ensuring minimal shear stress on process fluids, making it ideal for sensitive biomolecules and organisms.
