The iSonic was designed and developed in the US by an iconic team of engineers
having collectively hundreds of years of experience designing/developing ultrasonic
flowmeters.

The iSonic design falls nothing short of pure sophistication. It is graceful, ingenious,
intuitive, and adaptable.

 Transducer Design

The iSonic transducers were designed to meet today’s most demanding rigorous applications.
Fully encapsulated in Titanium and Stainless Steel able to resist extreme harsh environments
including, wet-gas, corrosives, and abrasive contaminants commonly found in pipelines.

The iSonic (patent pending) transducer is today’s most innovative, intelligent and proven
design. Whether by choice or application we offer three transducer versions to adress a wide
range of applications including; high pressure, low pressure and sour environments.

iSonic Transducer
Features & Benefits

Transducer piezo-crystals operate outside the Insight metering systems extensive expertise
process, fully protected from abrasion, corrosion, in transducer design and development ensures
and pipeline hazards, ensuring durability, reliabilty, performance and reliability as well as able to
repeatability and accuracy. customize to meet every application.

The transducer mounting arrangement (patent Intelligent transducer, combined with high speed
pending) provides unparalleled acoustic isolation electronics and lightning-fast signal processing
that yields extraordinary signal to noise ratios, can guarantee accurate, reliable measurement
resulting in total elimination of meter body 24/7 even under most severe flowing conditions.
crosstalk-interference and path sampling at higher
speed levels never achieved before.

Inherent transducer reciprocity allows for replacing

the transducers without affecting the meter’s
accuracy or needing re-calibration. Matching
transducers is unnecessary.
Insight SmartLink, an intelligent,
intuitive and simplified diagnostic
software designed to facilitate the
meter’s configuration, monitoring, and
troubleshooting. It guides operators
through any suspect / upset conditions
before measurement is compromised.
This software was created focusing
on “simplicity” avoiding complex and
complicated data screens. The user no
longer struggles with confusing charts,
too many screens and too much data.

SmartLink was designed with an

Intelligent dashboard, simplified
and easily personalized by selecting
graphical or numerical data and
dragging in to an intuitive dashboard.
Simplified adaptable to meet most
user’s needs for reliable, accurate and
continuous flow analysis.
SmartLink provides performance-base
and dynamic flow-based diagnostics
to ensure continuous performance,
reliability and accuracy 24/7.

Performance-Based diagnostics for each

path include; gas velocity,
signal to noise ratios, speed of sound,
gain, percent-performance and more.

Dynamic-Based diagnostics include;

turbulence, swirl, cross-flow, profile
factor and other disturbnces in the
pipeline.

ABOUT US
Insight Metering Systems is a division of LETD (Leading Edge Technology Development, LLC).
LETD was founded by Don Augenstein and Bob Beede, two iconic engineers with extensive
experience in designing, developing and selling ultrasonic flowmeters. Their partnership and
collaboration started when Don worked with Cal Hastings (Caldon) where they succesfuly
developed the very first LEFM multipath Westinghouse 8 path ultrasonic flowmeter for liquid
hydrocarbons and gas applications.

Don Augenstein, Phil Salazar and Bob Beede founded Insight metering systems because they
identified the need for a company genuinely committed to serve customers in the US and
Americas. A company able to offer innovative, accurate and reliable ultrasonic flowmeters,
meet customer’s delivery requirements, and most importantly, service these meters quickly.
Insight metering systems is here to do what others fail to offer. Insight metering systems is
here to deliver best in class ultrasonic flowmeters along with best in class customer service.
