LEVIFLOW® LFS-SU Single-Use Flow meters

LEVIFLOW® LFSC-SU (Single-Use) Series

Non-invasive, Ultrasonic High Precision Single Use Flow Sensors

The LEVIFLOW® single-use flowmeters are designed for non- invasive flow measurements of high purity fluids with flexible tubing.

All wet materials are fabricated from biocompatible (FDA, USP-VI, BSE/TSE and Animal free) gamma sterilizable polypropylene (PP).

Applications

  • High purity and high precision liquid processes
  • Sterile non-invasive flow measurement in Pharmaceutical manufacturing
  • Biotech processes
  • Flow control in combination with Levitronix MagLev pump systems
  • Single-use disposable applications

 

System Configuration

The standard configuration of the LEVIFLOW® single-use flowmeters consists of a flow sensor and a converter with a digital signal processor (DSP) for processing the sensor signals.

Various signals (analog output, digital input/output) are provided and can be configured with a PC software. A RS485 bus allows arrays of multiple flowmeters. In addition, the sensor value is shown on a 4-digit display.

For debugging, data collection and configuration with a PC the LEVIFLOW® 
Configuration Software is available at Levitronix® together with a USB to RS485 adaptor.
