deltawaveSUF Ultrasonic Gas Flowmeter

The deltawaveSUF Gas Ultrasonic Flowmeter: Accurate, Simple, EconomicalS

The multi-path ultrasonic flowmeter deltawaveSUF puts an end to expensive, complicated gas flow measurement.

Until now, the accurate measurement of gas volumes has been very complex and expensive. Although mechanical meters measure flow very accurately, they ignore the influence of pressure and temperature fluctuations, which leads to very large errors. For this reason, especially for large consumers, mechanical meters are supplemented with additional pressure and temperature sensors, and their influence is then calculated and corrected in volume correctors. Not only does this sound complicated, it is also expensive and requires a great deal of effort to achieve accurate measurement.

deltawaveSUF works based on the transit time principle with an integrated p&T sensor. The gas meter can be operated with a built-in battery or with 24VDC. Up to 5 years of continuous operation is possible with a single battery pack.

• Only short inlet distances required
• Up to 5 years continuous operation from a single battery pack
• Near zero leakage

Ultrasonic gas flow meter: How it works 

The deltawaveSUF gas flow meter is based on the transit time difference method:

Ultrasonic pulses are sent into the gas flow and received again.
These sound waves travel faster in the flow direction than against the flow direction of the gas or medium.

Both transit times - with and against the flow direction - are recorded.
The difference between the two times can be used to calculate the flow velocity and the flow rate of the gas.

Our ultrasonic expertise for your gas measurement

systec Controls has been developing ultrasonic flow meters for over 20 years. Flow measurement using the ultrasonic transit time method has many advantages, in particular very wide measuring ranges, outstanding accuracy, virtually no drift in the measured values as it is a digital time measurement. There are no moving parts and no analogue components to wear or age.

The development of the process for a stationary gas meter was requested by our customers in the gas supply industry. As a result, deltawaveSUF has been designed to be as compatible as possible with existing mechanical gas meters. In most cases it can simply replace previously installed turbine meters. Both the dimensions and the measuring range have been adapted accordingly.

deltawaveSUF in industrial applications: safe and accurate

The deltawaveSUF ultrasonic gas flow meter measures very accurately and ensures safety.
Wherever gas flows and their status variables need to be monitored.

It is particularly in demand in the following industries:

• Chemical industry
• Food industry
• Industrial production

Convenient, Accurate Gas Measurement - Anytime, Anywhere

If there is no power supply, deltawaveSUF will run on the integrated battery for 5 years. Pressure, temperature, volume flow, standard volume flow and the counter can be read on the large display. Daily and hourly values are safely stored in the integrated data logger.

Thanks to the powerful battery and the low power consumption, the device can even be used in places where there is no external power supply.

The basic version of deltawaveSUF has HF and LF counting pulses; Modbus and 4..20 mA outputs are also available as options. M12 connection cable and operating instructions are included.
