Open Channel Flowmeters suit narrow weirs and flumes.

Press Release Summary:




SmartSonic(TM) Model L4660/OC Narrow-Beam Ultrasonic Flowmeters combine signal conditioner, microprocessor, and totalizer in single unit housed in NEMA 4X enclosure. Narrow Beam technology ignores baffles, uneven sidewalls, and other obstructions that interfere with other ultrasonic devices, allowing signals to penetrate gases, vapors, heavy fuming, and foams. Flowmeters include full temperature compensation and pushbutton programming.

New Open Channel Flowmeters



SmartSonic(TM) Narrow-Beam Ultrasonic Open Channel Flowmeters Provide High Reliability, Simple Installation & Startup, Built-in Characterizations for Virtually All Standard Weirs and Flumes, at a Fraction of the Cost of Similar Units

Compact 2-wire and 4-wire transmitters combine sensor, signal conditioner, microprocessor, and totalizer in a single unit... with Princo's unique 10-year warranty.

SOUTHAMPTON, PA -- Princo Instruments, Inc., a well-respected, long-time manufacturer and supplier of control instrumentation, introduces its Model L4660/OC SmartSonic Open Channel Flowmeters with novel Narrow Beam Angle Technology for high accuracy and reliability. The flowmeters include built-in flow equations for 20 configurations, including the common Parshall, Palmer-Bowlus, and Khafagi Venturi flumes, and rectangular, trapezoidal, bottom-step, circular, and Thomson weirs, as well as many others. The self-contained units include the sensor, signal conditioner, microprocessor, and totalizer in one unit housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure.

With their novel Narrow Beam Technology the new transmitters are accurate in even narrow weirs and flumes, problem-some applications for many ultrasonic flowmeters. Princo's SmartSonic Narrow Beam Technology also ignores baffles, uneven sidewalls , and other obstructions that interfere with other ultrasonic devices. Since the narrow beam signals have outstanding focus, they penetrate gasses, vapors, heavy fuming, and foams that may fool other units. Initial units have been successfully installed and proven in water treatment applications that measure 8 million gallons per day.

Princo SmartSonic transmitters are the only ultrasonic open channel flowmeters available with a 10-year warranty. Basic units are priced at about $800, one-third to one-half less than the cost of similar units with far fewer features.

SmartSonic transmitters provide a unique combination of advantages in addition to their narrow beam angle, including full temperature compensation, simple pushbutton programming, and high accuracy and reliability independent of the materials being measured or the design of the vessel, weir, or flume. Options include HART® Communication Protocol, Intrinsically Safe Electronics, and 3A approved Tri-Clamp configuration.
