What are surface acoustic waves & how do SAW sensors work?
Applications of surface acoustic wave devices like FLOWave mainly involve hygiene and measuring the flow of water with low conductivity. FLOWave really comes into its own in pharmaceutical applications, such as in the production of pure media, and in food and beverage applications, typically in the management of CIP and SIP processes.
Coriolis Vs Surface Acoustic Wave flowmeters
Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) flowmeters. In terms of liquid flow measurement then, there is an obvious opening for a device which can deliver a compact, non-contact measurement which is accurate, irrespective of media characteristics, flow direction and flow conditions.
Bürkert’s FLOWave surface acoustic wave device makes waves
When it comes to ground-breaking technology, you can now add the Bürkert FLOWave. A “revolutionary” flow meter that uses the same surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology used in earthquake studies. PIF spoke to Bürkert to find out more about this seismic new development.
Bürkert FLOWave makes SAW waves in world of flow measurement
Surface Acoustic Waves (SAW) to be exact. This advanced technology, which was pioneered for the measurement of earthquakes, has enabled Bürkert to develop a compact, hygienic, easy to install digital flowmeter that promises exceptional accuracy and reliability, as PIF found out.
Bürkert FLOWave provides alternative to Coriolis
Developed as an alternative to the enduring Coriolis flowmeter design, the Bürkert FLOWave flowmeter harnesses Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) technology to deliver precision flow measurements from a smooth, uninterrupted flow-through pipe section – making it ideal for hygienic applications. Bürkert explain all here.
Why Bürkert’s FLOWave is perfect for pharma applications
The flow meter from Bürkert uses their patented SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) technology to measure the volumetric flow of a liquid. The science behind the technology is similar to that used in seismic activity, with wave propagation as the key to the analysis.
Introducing Bürkert FLOWave | Surface Wave Acoustic Technology
Bürkert FLOWave fluid control technology is unique to Bürkert. It features Surface Wave Acoustic Technology which is used to measure mass and flow, as well as temperature and other vital metrics. Watch this video to find out more about Bürkert FLOWave technology.
New ATEX-rated Bürkert FLOWave ideal for distilleries
Let’s not forget the impressive performance capabilities of the Bürkert FLOWave quite aside from those all-important ATEX approvals. We’re talking unique Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) flow measurement technology and a single measurement tube body free of any wetted parts and constructed from stainless steel.
How Burkert’s FLOWave flowmeter uses tech to measure flow
Oct 14, 2020 · The Bürkert FLOWave Flowmeter uses the patented Surface Acoustic Waves (SAW) technology, which enables a sensor to measure mass and mechanical properties. This flow measurement technique is based on wave propagation, similar to that seen in seismic activity, whereby they start from a single point and spread along a surface of a solid material.
Why the pharmaceutical industry should go with the FLOWave
The UK pharmaceutical industry contributes tens of billions of pounds to the economy and employs more than 73,000 people.
