Sensor Technology
The ultrasonic transducers are a vital part of each Lauris manufactured flow meter. To achieve the highest flow measurement accuracy and the greatest turn down ratio, Lauris Technologies develops and manufactures its own transducers. The use of in-house design and manufacturing of the sensors allows us to precisely dial in the frequency band and signal pulse quality for each pair of transducers. The proprietary sensor technology has taken over a decade of meticulous trial and error iterations to arrive at the correct composition resulting in the industry leading ultrasonic transducers.
The transducer housing has been rigorously tested in both high pressure and high temperature environments to withstand most demanding applications. Each pair of transducers undergoes initial bench test to assess the pulse quality benchmarked against verified pair as per the ISO program.The cap and the connector are precision laser welded and engraved for traceability.
The quick disconnect design allows for swapping of the transducers with ease, reducing operational downtime. Transducer casing material can be tailored to suit specific design conditions and gas composition. The standard transducers are manufactured from Grade 5 Titanium allowing for maximum corrosion resistance in the most sever of applications. The use of Monel was introduced in 2023 to combat the detrimental effects of high percentage of Methane (CH4).We are also in the final stages of manufacturing our high temperature model, capable of operating temperatures above 300degC.
