Measure with ultrasound
Ultrasonic technology for non-contact and precise measurements
Measuring with ultrasound – for precise results even under difficult operating conditions
Solving measurement tasks with ultrasonic sensors offers numerous advantages – and has proven to be indispensable in a wide range of industries. Ultrasound is the preferred choice, especially when it comes to precise measurements in air or gaseous substances. Whether in medical technology, renewable energies or automation technology – ultrasonic measurements enable precise results. This works without direct contact with the reflecting objects, which simplifies the measurement and increases the service life of the sensors. SECO Sensor develops ultrasonic transducers for sensors in demanding areas of application.
Measuring with ultrasound in a wide range of industries
Non-contact and maintenance-free measurement
The biggest advantage of ultrasonic measurement is the non-contact measurement on reflective surfaces. As the sensors in distance measurement, level measurement or presence monitoring do not require direct contact with the reflector, their wear is minimized. This not only increases the service life of the measuring devices, but also ensures reliable and stable performance over long periods of time. This means you benefit from sustainable and low-maintenance solutions that deliver accurate measured values in the long term.
Measuring gas flow with ultrasound
Ultrasonic technology is particularly effective in gas measurement technology. It enables the precise determination of gas composition and gas concentration, which is of central importance in many industries. By using ultrasound, you can make accurate measurements in a wide range of applications. This applies to the monitoring of gas flows in industrial processes as well as for analyzing air quality or for medical diagnoses.

Measuring with ultrasound – from medicine to automation
Ultrasonic measurements with ultrasonic transducers from SECO Sensor are used in many industrial sectors. In medicine, they enable precise analysis of respiratory gases and support diagnoses and therapies. In the energy industry, they are a crucial tool for monitoring the efficiency of gas plants and pipelines. And in the wind power industry, contactless and maintenance-free measurement using ultrasonic sensors is an advantage if the systems are difficult to access – offshore, for example. Ultrasonic sensors also enable precise measurements under challenging conditions in automation technology and robotics across all industries.

Further information on the subject of “Measuring with ultrasound”:
Measuring with ultrasound is extremely precise. An ultrasonic signal with a frequency between 80 kHz and 500 kHz is emitted by an ultrasonic transducer. Depending on the operating mode (transmitter-receiver mode or pulse-echo method), the transit time of the signal to a reflector or a receiver transducer is measured. Depending on the application, the intensity of the detected signal is also included in the measurement results. One of the advantages of ultrasonic technology is that the measurement is contactless and maintenance-free. This is evident, for example, in distance measurement or level measurement, where the material surface is not touched.
Ultrasound – what does that mean? Ultrasound refers to sound waves with frequencies above 20,000 Hertz – or 20 kHz – and therefore outside the range of human hearing. These waves are used in a variety of applications in technology and medicine – whether in medical diagnostics, wind measurement or web edge monitoring. We therefore work specifically with sound waves, typically in the media air and gases, and use them for fast, precise and non-contact measurements – depending on the type of transducer in a working range of a few centimetres to several meters.
