NIS Wedge Sensor
NIS wedge sensors are part of a fixed measurement system for continuous flow measurement and storage of the recorded measurement data. They can be used for clean to slightly polluted media.
NIS wedge sensors are used for flow measurement in full pipes featuring various dimensions.
Readings are detected based on the ultrasonic transit time principle which allows versatile use with high accurate measurement results. Thanks to perfectly matched mounting material the system is ideal for retrofitting of large geometries such as cooling water channels, pipes and surface waters or for replacement of existing flow measurement systems.
Measure. Monitor. Repeat.
For better insights, better decision-making and better process performance.
