Sonar flow meter

The SONARtrac sonar flowmeter, an online measurement system for volumetric flow rate and entrained gas content, represents an innovative breakthrough in full-bore, non-invasive flow measurement technology. By installing a set of sensors on existing pipelines and leveraging patented passive sonar processing technology, the system “listens to” and analyzes the acoustic signatures of turbulent fluid flow within the pipeline, thereby enabling precise measurements. This technology was developed specifically for flow measurement under the most demanding operational conditions—such as drilling, oil and gas extraction, as well as in three-phase flows involving solids, liquids, and gases, including ore processing and metal smelting.
