Product catalog summary
Overview
The SONOFLOW IL.52 is an inline ultrasonic sensor designed for ultra-low flow measurement in liquid-filled tubes and pipes. It is ideal for multi-product manufacturing and hybrid platforms, particularly in single-use technologies. The sensor is compatible with CIP, SIP, and autoclave processes, ensuring minimal equipment footprint and sustainability.

Key Features
  • Highly accurate with 1% accuracy and repeatability.
  • Instantaneous response time and independent of liquid color and electromagnetic characteristics.
  • Constructed with high-grade PEEK material for the measurement channel.
  • Integrated electronics eliminate the need for an external transmitter.
  • Volume totalizing and dosing output switch for precise delivery.

Technical Specifications
  • Measuring Principle: Ultrasound, Transit-time method.
  • Response Time: 10 ms or faster.
  • Hold-up Volume: 1.6 ml.
  • Measuring Channel Diameter: 3.0 mm.
  • Tube Connection: PEEK/Viton® or PEEK/FFKM.
  • Operating Voltage: 12 ... 30 VDC, Current Consumption: 50 mA max.
  • Temperature Range: Ambient 0 ... +70 °C, Media 0 ... +100 °C, temporarily +145 °C.
  • Protection Class: IP65.

Measurement Principle
The sensor uses the transit-time ultrasound method to measure flow rate by determining the time of flight of ultrasonic waves with and against the liquid flow. The time difference is used to calculate the fluid velocity and specific flow volume.

Software Integration
The optional SONOTEC Software allows for sensor configuration, performance control, data collection, and real-time flow monitoring. It supports the connection of up to 12 sensors simultaneously.

Certifications
Certified according to ISO 9001 and EN ISO 13485.
