Ultrasonic metrology of flow velocities

About us

Met-Flow has pioneered ultrasonic velocity profile measurement since 1990. Met-Flow has a unique know-how in instrumentation and software that precisely measures liquid flows velocity in both transparent and opaque liquids, using ultrasound signals. Being a spin-off of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Met-Flow’s main market mainly includes universities, institutes of technology, government and private research agencies. The measurement technology manufactured by Met-Flow can be widely applied in the industries dealing with any kind of liquids, transparent, opaque, suspensions, etc. Collaborating with a sales force of 20 agents representing more than 30 countries, the company is currently seeking to expand its sales upon the launch of the new generation of its main instrument UVP-DUO. Met-Flow guarantees the Swiss quality, with UVP-DUO being exclusively manufactured within the country. The company and its associates extensively support sustainability, carbon footprint reduction, renewable energies as well as the overall well-being of the humanity and seeks to cooperate with the like-minded businesses/entrepreneurs.

    How to measure velocities in opaque fluids? 😎 Look no further than Ultrasonic Velocity Profiling (UVP) technology! While Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is a powerful tool for measuring liquid movements, it falls short in opaque fluids. UVP technology, specifically the Met-Flow UVP-DUO, excels in this area, providing accurate velocity measurements with real-time data and high spatial and temporal resolution. Plus, it's user-friendly, cost-effective, and versatile for a variety of applications. Learn more about how UVP technology can complement your PIV solutions in our latest blog post. #UVP #PIV #fluidmechanics #opaquefluids #MetFlowUVPDUO https://lnkd.in/eba5GQTt

    Understanding Industrial Mixing with UVP-DUO Technology when PIV is not possible (none-transparent fluids) Innovations in Flow Analysis Unveiled in New Study 🔬 Study Overview: In a new study by Hiroya Okumura and team, presented at the 14th International Symposium on Ultrasonic Doppler Methods for Fluid Mechanics and Fluid Engineering, the Ultrasonic Velocity Profiler (UVP) technology - particularly the UVP-DUO system from Met-Flow - has been instrumental in advancing the understanding of industrial mixing processes. 🌪️ The Challenge: Tackling the opacity of non-Newtonian fluids in industrial mixing, the study used a cloudy Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) solution, highlighting the limitations of traditional optical measurement methods. 💡 UVP-DUO's Role: Employing UVP-DUO-Mx with a 4 MHz transducer, the study successfully measured flow velocity in opaque fluids, a feat unachievable by conventional methods. 🌀 Impeller Performance Insights: Comparing Parallel Paddle® (PP) and disk turbine impellers, the UVP-DUO revealed that the PP impeller significantly reduced isolated mixing regions (IMRs), enhancing the efficiency of mixing in laminar flow conditions. 📊 Impact and Implications: This research not only showcases the versatility of UVP-DUO in industrial applications but also paves the way for optimized impeller designs and mixing strategies, especially in challenging fluid conditions. 🌐 Met-Flow's Commitment: At Met-Flow, we're proud to contribute to such pioneering research, reinforcing our dedication to improving industrial processes through innovative ultrasonic measurement technologies. 🔗 Read the full blog post > https://lnkd.in/eSSPDYnd --- #UVPDUO #IndustrialMixing #Innovation #MetFlow #FluidDynamics #EngineeringExcellence

    many years... 😇 biologically active fluids, 2D ultrasonic array, fermenting multiphase flows, great flexibility, maximum of measurement depth "We have been successfully using Met-Flow’s UVP systems for many years, particularly for measuring velocities in biologically active fluids. In several projects, we have used a 2D ultrasonic array to investigate velocity fields in fermenting multiphase flows in the food and beverage industry, for example by coupling two UVP-DUO Multiplexer devices to realise great flexibility in the velocity bandwidth, using two basic frequencies with a maximum of measurement depth."

    Invaluable... 💰 precise measurements, turbid waters, complex flows, secondary currents, concentrations. "Met-Flow’s velocity profiles significantly enhanced our research at Universidad de la República. It allowed us to perform precise measurements in turbid waters, analyse complex flows, observe secondary currents, and estimate suspended sediment concentrations. It has proven invaluable for our work in hydraulics and sediment transport." Prof. Dr. Francisco Pedocchi and Prof. Dr. Rodrigo Mosquera, Instituto de Mecánica de los Fluidos e Ingeniería Ambiental, Facultad de Ingeniería, Universidad de la República, Uruguay More testimonials: https://lnkd.in/e6237mu4

    Concentration measurement, rehometry, versatile, easy to use... 😍 "As a researcher in complex multiphase flow, I used Met-Flow’s UVP-DUO instrument for several years to perform velocimetry, concentration measurement and rheometry. The UVP-DUO is very versatile and easy to use, and its software is fast and stable." Dr. Hugh Rice – Postdoctoral research fellow, School of Geography, University of Leeds, UK More testimonials: https://lnkd.in/eMNtFBuA
