Flow Measurement System. RISONIC modular, a modular measurement system for specific hydroengineering applications, was developed for ultrasonic flow measurements in filled and partially filled pipes and open channels. Whether for penstock monitoring, turbine and pump efficiency measurements or flow measurements in irrigation systems or water supplies, the system’s modular design provides a broad spectrum of applications and measurement setups with up to 20 measuring paths.

Modular system design
RISONIC modular includes three system components:
- An instrumentation controller that collects the sensor data and, based on these, calculates the exact flow and other measured values
- Up to five RISONIC ultrasonic transit time modules that prepare and pre-process the sensor signals before their transmission to the controller
- Different ultrasonic sensors that are either firmly mounted (inside or outside) or non-invasively attached to the outside of the pipe (clamp-on installation with magnetic frame or adhesive mounting). Alternatively they can be used to measure open channels.
