... measure reliably

Sonatic®-sensor systems are ideal for industrial and mobile applications. The combination of an ultrasonic measurement principle with state-of-the-art signal analysis ensures reliable measurement results - even when encountering strong movements or shocks.

... work without maintenance:
1 year warranty on the product and its components


Sonatic®-sensors are non-invasive measurement systems that means they can measure without contacting the medium, even through container walls. Patented Sonatic®-dry coupling eliminates the need to replace coupling media during operations or when swapping tanks. In fact there is no need for additional coupling media. Cast directly in robust housings, Sonatic®-sensor systems operate maintenance free.
