Ultrasonic Meter UGM-G for Gas Measurement with LoRa / NB-IoT Communication

Ultrasonic gas meter with LCD display and wireless communication

Product Overview

The UGM-G series ultrasonic gas meter is designed for gas measurement in closed pipe systems. It is mainly composed of a fluid passage, ultrasonic transducer, indicating device, main control module, and battery.

This ultrasonic gas meter measures the downstream and countercurrent propagation time of ultrasonic waves in the gas flow path, and it can directly display instantaneous flow and cumulative volume flow. The meter uses pure electronic metering with no mechanical loss.

Key Features

  • Pure electronic metering with no mechanical loss
  • Direct display of instantaneous flow and cumulative volume flow
  • High measurement accuracy
  • Long-term stability of differential performance
  • Powered by 4 AA 1.5V alkaline batteries for wireless communication and valve control
  • Built-in lithium electronics designed for the ultrasonic measurement module
  • LoRa or NB-IoT wireless communication options
  • External DC9V power input on applicable models
  • Gas alarm passive switch signal input on applicable models
