Flow Measurement & Control


Hygienic and accurate flow measurement

October 2026 Flow Measurement & Control

The SU Puresonic Hygienic ultrasonic sensor detects flows of conductive and non-conductive media with high precision, for example in ultrapure water, water or food oils.

Robust measuring pipe without structures

The stainless steel measuring tube is free of measuring elements, seals and moving parts. This means that faults due to damage, leaks or blockages are excluded from the outset, as are design-related pressure drops.

Hygienic adaptation

The clamp process connection enables quick, tool-free installation and replacement of the sensor.

The dead space-free design facilitates cleaning and sterilisation (CIP/SIP), and increases process efficiency.

The ifm device flange, on the other hand, allows the use of different seals and adapters for flexible integration into existing systems.
