The in-line flowmeters of the BioPAT ® Flow family provide the right fit for all scales of your bioprocess. They were the world’s first ultrasonic-flowmeter clamp-ons that are used with single-use flow pipes, resulting in flexibility and higher accuracy than conventional clamp-ons that measure directly on the tube. BioPAT ® Flow can be used both as real-time flowmeters and volume totalizers. The sensors of the BioPAT ® Flow family are highly chemically resistant and compatible with a broad spectrum of liquids with respect to viscosity, opaqueness, corrosiveness and temperature. The BioPAT ® Flow sensors are the world’s only ultra sonic flow meter clamp-ons that use a single-use flow pipe instead of measuring directly on the pipe. This innovation comes with several advantages.
higher accuracy then measurements on tubes through optimized coupling, rigid material and a straight flow path
higher reproducibility, other than tubes, the flow pipes do not have deviations in their wall thickness, which enhances the reproducibility of the measurement
High chemical resistance compatible with ADC applications.
Pressure independence. Measurement is highly independent of pressure changes as the rigid flow pipe material doesn’t expand or collapse. High pressure applications with up to 5 bar(g) are possible
Versatile applications. The flow pipes can be connected to all types of tubes with a certain inner diameter, even to reinforced tubing tubes. Conventional clamp-on flowmeters require an extra calibration for every tube material and thickness used.
Clearly defined measurement position as the flow pipe is integrated at a defined position in the tube system. This reduces the risks of operator errors and lower accuracy due to incorrect .
positioning.
