Ultrasonic Flow Meters Ideal for Pharmaceutical Facilities

Production of pharmaceutical drugs presents difficult challenges for instrumentation used to monitor and optimise the process. Typically drug production processes require devices able to cope with low flow rates and constructed from ultra-pure materials to maintain critical hygienic, sterile and sanitary conditions.

Clean bore flow measurement devices such as Titan Enterprises’ Metraflow® ultrasonic flowmeter, offer the ideal solution for the pharmaceutical industry.

Ultra-pure water (UPW) systems, typically used in production and cleaning processes within the pharmaceutical industry, require a selection of technologies and equipment that preserve the purity of materials. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology facilities use UPW as a cleaning agent and a diluent for multiple-dose injections as well as an ingredient in products. Water free of endotoxins, microbes and viruses is essential in these applications and others such as inhalation therapy products, internal irrigation therapy products and bulk preparation of medicines.

Metraflow’s high performance PFA polymer tubing offers excellent chemical inertness and an ultra-high grade of purity. Non-intrusive with no internal moving parts, Metraflow® gives an accuracy of +/-0.5% FSD and repeatability across flow ranges from 20 to 5000 ml/min. Its wide flow range and PFA (FDA approved) tubing makes this ultrasonic flowmeter highly suited to aggressive chemical flow measurement.
