TECHNOLOGY INVOLVED

The primary mechanism for reading activity in


the pipe is through the ultrasonic acoustic
waves sent and received by the transducer.
These waves are powerfully transmitted
through the pipe wall, any scaling or paraffin
buildup, and reflect off of the many bubbles,
gas or solids present in the flowstream.

● The CPU module in UltraFlow has the


capability to read and transmit data from
any piece of equipment with a HART or
modbus output protocol

● UltraFlow can be paired with VoluSense


tank monitoring solutions to allow
operators to monitor their entire field from
