Micro Flow Sensor / Flow Meter
OverviewThe TGU series inline ultrasonic flow sensors are compact, self-contained low-flow measurement units with a U-shaped PEEK flow channel that accepts flexible tubing via 1/8" NPT barb adapters. They provide ultra-low flow measurement with high accuracy and multiple integration outputs for laboratory, bioprocessing and industrial systems. Measurable 0.1ml/min micro flow rate.
Key Capabilities- Ultra-low flow measurement with high accuracy (model-specific values below)
- Bidirectional flow measurement and cumulative volume calculation
- Built-in bubble detection, quantitative filling and configurable flow switch
- Integrated electronics — no external processing required
- U-shaped channel reduces clogging, dead volume and steering issues
- Multiple output modes for system integration (analog, frequency, serial, digital)
Applications- HPLC and liquid chromatography instrumentation
- Tangential flow filtration (TFF) and crossflow filtration systems
- Protein separation and purification equipment
- Single-use bioprocessing systems and bioreactors
- Buffer preparation, reagent delivery and liquid filling machines
- Medical and virus inactivation devices requiring precise low-flow control
- Manufacturing automation
- Dispensing micro flow rate measurement
- Coating micro flow rate measurement
- PCB manufacturing micro flow rate measurement
