各種狀態的各種流體流量偵測

Suitable for various fluid flow detection in various states

No matter the liquid type—water, raw water, sea water, beverages, chemicals, solvents, or oils—EchoSense ultrasonic flowmeters excel in challenging conditions like high temperature, viscosity, and bubbles. They deliver highly accurate flow data, with a measurement precision of less than ±2%, even when there are small amounts of solids or bubbles. Count on EchoSense for reliable and precise flow measurements in any situation.

*Specific liquids with exceptionally high or low sound velocities may create abnormal conditions.

Automatic detection of pipe specifications

With "EchoSense" technology installation, you can skip the hassle of additional settings. It automatically detects and adapts to various pipe regulations used worldwide, such as Taiwan regulations, Japanese regulations, American regulations, and more. Say goodbye to manual configurations and enjoy the convenience of seamless integration with EchoSense.

Automatic detection of pipe specifications 
Monitoring Principle

Monitoring Principle

Delta TOF (transit time difference method) is detected by the time difference between upstream and downlstream. If there are too many air bubbles, measurement will not be possible.

Real-time intelligent detection of common issues involve in using ultrasonic flowmeters.

EchoSense technology goes beyond acquiring pipeline-related data. It also collects ultrasonic detection data and applies advanced algorithms to analyze the fluid state within the pipeline.

Unlike other external ultrasonic flowmeters in the market that struggle to differentiate between zero flow, flowmeter misalignment, excessive impurities in the liquid, and changes in fluid sound velocity, EchoSense takes a different approach.

Instead of displaying zero flow or poor signal strength, it detects and distinguishes these situations. When a pipeline issue arises, EchoSense issues a warning, enabling users to accurately monitor the pipeline status, quickly identify the problem's cause, and find an instant solution. Say goodbye to misjudgment and troubleshooting delays with LORRIC's exclusive EchoSense technology.

Just 3 Steps in 3 Minutes!

 
Just 3 Steps in 3 Minutes!
Ultrasonic flowmeters offer the advantage of easy installation without the need to cut the pipe. No machine downtime or pipe damage occurs during installation, eliminating the risks of pressure loss, leakage, and liquid deterioration. Say goodbye to complex pipe cutting and hello to seamless installation with ultrasonic flowmeters.
 
Even More Simplified Installation Experience
LORRIC understands the pain points of users and strives to enhance the installation experience. With the goal of simplicity and independence, we've designed our flowmeter with two easy-to-use horseshoe-shaped buckles. Just connect and insert them into the flowmeter body, and they securely clamp onto the pipe. No more hassle with screws that cause damage or misalignment. Our four-corner anti-falling screw design allows you to lock the sensor and buckle in place effortlessly using a hexagonal wrench, all with just one hand. And the top configuration knob ensures a perfect fit, tightly hugging the pipe's outer wall. It's a straightforward process that anyone can handle, even if you're new to it. No engineering background or experience required—installation has never been easier with LORRIC.
 
*The minimum flow rate may vary slightly depending on factors such as pipe diameter and fluid properties
 
Suitable for Different Types of Piping
The EchoSense ultrasonic flowmeter is designed with a simple and convenient buckle system, allowing for easy installation on different types of pipes, including metal (such as iron and stainless steel) and plastic (such as PVC, PVDF, PP) pipes. It is compatible with various pipe specifications, such as American, Japanese, and Taiwanese standards. With EchoSense, you can effortlessly start monitoring the flow rate in no time.

 

*PVDF and PP pipes with special dimensions may have weaker signal strength

 

 

 

Other Important Features
No More Need for Ultrasonic Gel 
No More Need for Ultrasonic Gel

The EchoSense ultrasonic flowmeter has a special design called the "ultrasonic gasket pad" at the bottom. It eliminates the need for ultrasonic gel and doesn't require frequent replacement. This saves time, money, and reduces the need for manual labor.

EchoSense display screen can be switched based on whether the pipe is vertical or horizontal

The LORRIC pipe clamp type ultrasonic flowmeter head screen display panel adjusts its viewing direction according to the piping orientation, whether horizontal or vertical. This allows for convenient flow monitoring in different piping situations.

Large green, orange and red alarm indicator lights

 

Large green, orange and red alarm indicator lights

 

◉ Large bright LED screen allows for data monitoring at any time from far away, which saves the need to constantly check the screen from up close.

 

◉ Green, orange and red indicator lights: Red – Major abnormality; Green – Normal operation; Orange – Non-urgent data display. This system’s big advantage is that no matter how far the user stands from the screen, the changing indicator light’s color can clearly indicate the status of the equipment and whether any abnormality occurs.

Currently in the process of filing for a patent trademark in the whole world

 

◉ Double screen display:LED-5 digits LED/LCD 16x3 LCD backlight display

 

◉ Large bright LED digits display screen for flow observation:LED’s brightness is best suited for long-distance monitoring. Because of limited display space – numbers are better suited than words. In LORRIC’s design philosophy, we chose to line up a large LED screen to display mostly numerical data for flow monitoring. This allows the users standing further away to clearly observe the immediate flow conditions without the need to get closer.

 

◉ LCD screen best suited for the display of more complex text-based details:Software interface, screen clarity, and button design all contribute to a superior more convenient installation experience, especially at times when attempting to use small narrow spaces for flowmeter installation. LORRIC’s paddlewheel flowmeter’s LCD screen can be used for the task of installation and setup, as the LCD screen’s ability to display more detailed text makes it easier for the user to clearly identify all needed options, thus contributing to smoother and quicker flowmeter installation process.

The measurement accuracy is established in a controlled laboratory environment where the pipe and fluid conditions are set and the instrument is calibrated to zero before conducting tests at 25°C. Although statistical results are obtained under these conditions, there may be variances in accuracy when used in customer environments.

** Incorrect installation when rotating the screen by loosening the screws around it may affect the IP66 waterproof protection.
