High accuracy and low uncertainty in gas measurement with the Q.Sonic Max Ultrasonic Meter

Honeywell Elster combines the best of two worlds to deliver one excellent gas flow meter. The Q.Sonic Max Ultrasonic Meter delivers high measurement accuracy, cost effectiveness, and resistance to installation effects. A low level of uncertainty and high robustness means more individual operational demands are met.

The Q.Sonic Max Ultrasonic Meter utilizes a combination of reflection and direct paths which result in a detailed, accurate flow profile and superb noise immunity. Honeywell Elster leads the industry with a unique patented 8-path configuration in this meter. Internal pressure and temperature sensors along with advanced diagnostics and easy-to-use software ensure accurate calculation of the Reynolds number and dynamic correction of the meter body. Each component of the Q.Sonic Max works together to create a long-term reliable product.
