SU Puresonic Inline Ultrasonic flowmeter
With its advanced Ultrasonic technology, the SU Puresonic provides precise flow measurement in applications for ultrapure water, water, waterbased media containing up to a 10% aqueous solution, oils and glycol solutions.
The gasket free stainless-steel measuring tube provides permanent sealing and reliable performance without mechanical failures and provides a single wetted part for chemical compatibility assurance. Signal strength and device status are continuously monitored and displayed via the diagnostic LED bar. A color TFT display with high resistance PFA window displays process values (Flow, temperature, signal strength and total quantity).
The SU Puresonic can be easily configured either directly on the sensor using 3 buttons or remotely via IO Link.
Sustainable energy generation? We are powering a greener future.
The energy sector needs smart solutions. For a future with fewer emissions and greater e ciency, precise measurement technologies make renewable energy more sustainable and economically viable. Our advanced level and pressure instrumentation optimises your processes, boosts profitability, and conserves resources. Everything is possible. With VEGA.

SFC3000 FLOW COMPUTER
Your flow computer of choice for accurate measurement of GAS
- OIL - HYDROGEN - WATER
At Ex~I Flow Measurement Ltd, we specialise in researching, developing, and manufacturing products for the gas and liquid measurement industry, with a focus on continuous project development and enhancement.
The SFC3000 flow computer packs all of the calculation performance, flexibility and adaptability you’re ever likely to need into one industry-standard size, offering support for the following specific dry and wet natural gas calculations:
•ISO 5167, AGA 3, EN12213-2 (AGA 8), AGA 10
•ISO 6976, PTZ, NX19, EN12213-3(SGERG)
•Measured Density
•ISO 20765
Other Gases
•Nitrogen, Steam, CO2 Emission Calculations (BS8609), Hydrogen
A full range of digital and analogue input/output boards have been designed and developed to allow you to tailor your SFC3000 and provide the maximum level of connectivity.
Like our flow computers, our option boards are also designed and assembled in the UK.
