The MPU 200 Series B Ultrasonic Gas Flow meter

is a single path ultrasonic meter with non-intrusive and
flush mounted transducers providing undisturbed and
accurate measurement of gas flow in numerous applica-
tions. The MPU 200 is an excellent choice as a backup
meter to more accurate instruments, as check meters or
in applications where reliability is of highest priority.

Features
Optimum path placement – Single path meters
naturally have higher uncertainties than multi-path
meters due to the influence of different flow profiles
and Reynolds number. The MPU 200 however has
a unique lateral position of the path which minimizes
the effect of changing Reynolds number on the ac- MPU 200 Ultrasonic Gas Flowmeter
