18. Conclusion
SONARtrac volumetric flow meters are a unique flow measurement device
Over 4,000systems installed on industrial process including mining, oil sands production, pulp & paper, food processing, fossil fired and nuclear power plants
Their ability to conduct flow measurements where the measurement location has less than ideal flow conditions has been demonstrated
SONARtrac meters provide an alternative to other flow measurement technologies with the added ability of measuring entrained air fraction within a liquid
