| Have you ever needed to test the flow rate of a | | | | Typically a portable flow meter will use ultrasonic |

| like that, a portable flow meter is extremely useful. A | | | | Ultrasonic is also a very useful because it is easy to |
| portable flow meter can still measure the flow rate | | | | produce and to measure with, and it works on simple |

| light enough to hold in one hand. Ultrasonic signals in | | | | Examples include oxygen, steam, diesel, or just plain |
| gas flow meters are used because they are | | | | normal or compressed air. As long as the fluid is |

| many types of fluids, such as oxygen, steam, or | | | | Portable ultrasonic flow meters are very useful for |
