Morgan Advanced Materials has launched a new best in class 2 megahertz (MHz) water-coupled transducer for ultrasonic flow metering, offering greatly improved sensitivity and ring-up time about 3 times shorter than alternative ultrasonic sensors on the market. Customizable for any liquid measurement application from water metering to fuel flow, Morgan’s 2MHz flow sensor provides a high receive signal over a very small area.
With a diameter of only 20 millimeters, the new sensor offers space and material savings, while maintaining superior performance. It operates with a wide bandwidth and high sensitivity, and resists pressures of up to 50 bar.
The standard 2MHz sensor offers an impressive 2:1 drive to receive ratio and is supplied in an advanced water resistant thermoplastic. Custom developments can be manufactured in a number of different materials according to specific requirements. The new sensor solves issues with alternative sensors that can disrupt measurement accuracies due to extended ring-up time, which refers to the time it takes for the sensor to reach maximum output and then return to zero output.
“The 2MHz sensor demonstrates our agility in responding quickly to evolving customer requirements,” explains Charles Dowling, Project Engineer at Morgan. “We knew that utility companies in particular had a need for higher accuracy sensors. This led to our design of a high sensitivity, wide bandwidth sensor, with reduced zero flow offset between transducers. This combination of electrical properties has enabled us to release our most accurate sensor yet, while maintaining resistance to high pressure bursts and operating across a wide range of operating temperatures from 1°C to 120°C.”
