Doppler Flowmeter Market

Doppler flowmeter operates on the principle of the Doppler Effect, which is a change in the observed frequency of a wave (sound wave /light wave) due to relative motion between the wave source and the object. These flow meters use reflected ultrasonic sound to measure fluid velocity of slurries, aerated liquids or liquid with bubbles, and gases with sound-reflecting particles, where other meter don’t work. The Doppler flowmeter can be easily installed outside the pipes which will not have any influence on pressure loss in the pipe, and has been gaining increasing demand for key beneficial factors such as low power consumption, corrosion resistant, and ability to obstruct less flow. They are ideal for wastewater applications or any dirty liquid which is conductive or water-based as well as for applications where chemical compatibility, low pressure drop and low maintenance are required.
