Description
The CG Series Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Sensor / Flow Meter is a compact and highly efficient non-invasive solution designed for precise liquid flow measurement in bioprocessing and medical environments.
Using advanced ultrasonic technology, the sensor easily clamps onto flexible plastic tubing without direct contact with the fluid. This ensures contamination-free operation, making it ideal for applications with strict hygiene and sterility requirements.
With measurement accuracy up to ±3%, bi-directional flow monitoring, and real-time air bubble detection, the CG series provides reliable and consistent performance. It is specifically optimized for bioprocessing systems such as filtration units, chromatography equipment, and bioreactors, helping improve process efficiency and product quality.
