As the demand for smarter, more efficient energy solutions grows, ultrasonic metering technology is leading the way in heat and cooling measurement. Whether in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, or residential developments, ultrasonic meters offer unmatched accuracy, long-term reliability, and seamless digital integration—making them an essential tool for modern energy management.
What is Ultrasonic Metering?
Ultrasonic metering is an advanced method of measuring the flow of liquids, primarily used in heating, cooling, and water distribution systems. Unlike traditional mechanical meters, which rely on moving parts like impellers or turbine wheels, ultrasonic meters use sound waves to measure the speed and volume of liquid flowing through a pipe.
The flow is measured using the bidirectional ultrasonic technique based on the transit time method. This technique works by transmitting ultrasonic pulses both with and against the flow of liquid in a pipe. The time it takes for these signals to travel between sensors is then compared to determine the flow rate and volume of the liquid.
Key Benefits of Ultrasonic Metering
- Unmatched accuracy and stability. - Ultrasonic meters provide consistent, drift-free readings over time, ensuring precise billing and energy monitoring
- No moving parts means no wear and tear. - With no mechanical components, ultrasonic meters last significantly longer than traditional meters and require minimal maintenance.
- Smart data collection and remote access. - The Kamstrup MULTICAL series, come with M-Bus, Modbus, Wireless M-Bus, BACnet and LoRaWan capabilities, allowing for real-time monitoring, automated billing, and remote diagnostics.
- Sustainable and energy-efficient - Ultrasonic meters reduce energy waste by detecting inefficiencies and leaks, helping businesses and households optimize consumption and reduce costs.
- Flexible and future-proof - Modern ultrasonic meters support multiple communication modules, making them adaptable to evolving smart grid and IoT technologies.
- Ideal for a range of applications - including district heating and cooling networks, industrial process control, and commercial and residential buildings.
