Wire-mesh Sensors

Wire-mesh sensors measure the instantaneous, local fluid conductivity on a matrix of up to 128 x 128 measurement locations, with a frame-​rate of up to 10,000 frames/s.

A simplified scheme of the wire-​mesh working principle together with an example of a wire-​mesh sensor for a 2″ pipe is shown below:

A larger wire-mesh sensor for a square cross-section is shown on the left. We design and build sensors for a variety of cross-sections.

Examples of measurements taken with wiremesh sensors for single-phase mixing flows and two-phase flow respectively are shown in the two videos below:
