SONOFLOW® CO.55 V3.0 Non-Contact Flow Meter

Product catalog summary
Overview
SONOFLOW CO.55 V3.0 is a non-contact clamp-on flow meter designed for bioprocessing applications. It offers precise flow measurement for both upstream and downstream processes, with a focus on accuracy and repeatability.

Key Features
  • Non-contact ultrasonic sensors ensure no media contamination and prevent shear stress on cells.
  • Flow measurement range from 5 mL/min to 180 L/min with 1% accuracy even at low flow rates.
  • Stainless steel housing with an intuitive color touch display for easy handling.
  • Volume totalizing, dosing output switch, and configurable air bubble detection.
  • Integrated electronics eliminate the need for an external transmitter.
  • Reusable design promotes sustainability and cost savings.

Measurement Principle
The device uses the transit-time ultrasound method to measure flow rate by calculating the time difference of ultrasonic waves traveling with and against the liquid flow. This time difference is used to determine the velocity of the liquid.

Intuitive Color Touch Display
The SONOFLOW CO.55 SD V3.0 features a built-in color touch display for real-time data monitoring and adjustments. Users can monitor flow and volume data, receive status information, and perform flow adjustments directly on the device.

Technical Data
  • Measuring Method: Ultrasonic transit-time
  • Measuring Cycle: 20 ms
  • Outer Diameter – Tubing: 1/4″ to 1 3/8”
  • Interfaces: 4-20 mA, 0-20 kHz, PNP/NPN, RS-485 Modbus, digital input
  • Operating Voltage: 12-30 VDC
  • Current Consumption: 60 mA @ 12 V to 30 mA @ 30 V
  • Electrical Connection: 8-pin M12 connector
  • Temperature Range: 0 to +60 °C (ambient/media), -20 to +70 °C (storage)
  • Protection Class: IP65

Certifications
The product is certified according to ISO 9001 and EN ISO 13485 standards.
