How Ultrasonic Flow Meters Are Made: Factory Tour
Building flow measurement into your product or project? Send the pipe sizes, liquid and outputs — engineers reply within 24 hours.
How is a clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter made? This 2:48 factory tour follows a SEGMENsensor wall-mounted meter from the housing design on screen through display and circuit-board assembly, sealing the housing, final checks on the bench, and packing with a photo record of each order.
Chapters
Key points
- The meter housing is designed in 3D CAD before parts are made.
- The LCD display module and the circuit boards are assembled and handled on anti-static work surfaces.
- A seal is applied in the housing groove so the enclosure is closed against water and dust.
- Finished meters are checked on the bench, then tested on the water flow test line before packing.
- Transducers, cables and meters are photographed when packed, as a record of each order.
