SONO 3000
The brain behind SONOFLO
advanced technology
SONO 3000 is a transit time-based
transmitter that can be used on
any pipe up to DN 4000.It employs
an advanced transit time signal
processing technology with an
innovative direct ultrasound transmission technique and digital
correlation signal detection technique that ensures a reliable and
accurate signal detection for a wide
range of processes.

determine exactly when the ultrasound signal reaches the receiving

transducer, Siemens engineers
developed a new correlation
method that greatly improves signal detection.
SONOFLO Accuracy
SONO 3000 achieves greater
accuracy rates 0.5 % of actual
flow than earlier generations
of transit time flowmeters.

These features are deployed in the

self-diagnostic menus such as signal level, signal/noise ratio and the
quality of the measured transmission time.

Direct ultrasound transmission

One of the keys to SONO 3000
flowmeter precision performance
is its transmission technique.
It shoots ultrasound pulses directly
to the receiving transducer without
bouncing them off the interior
walls of the pipe. This way, the
presence of any scale build-up on
interior pipe walls will not weaken
or degrade transmitted signals.
SENSORPROM
ensures correct
start-up and sensor
verification
everytime.

Advanced digital signal

processing and diagnostics
Difficult applications involving
many bends, valves or short inlet
conditions often require closer
examination to maximize accuracy
and performance. Knowing that
the quality of a transit time flowmeter depends on its ability to

Industrial Applications
0.5 % Accuracy. 100 % Reliability.

Siemens has the experience, technology, and service capabilities to

handle virtually all the flowmeterrelated needs of your industry.
SITRANS F US SONOFLO flowmeters, SONO 3100 and SONO 3300
offer a great solution for applications requiring robust performance
and maximum efficiency. They are
ideal for:

Industrial processes
Water and wastewater
Petrochemical processes
Cryogenic
Fiscal metering

SONO 3100 is ideal for difficult

applications where scale build-up
creates problems, typically treated

wastewater or petro-chemical flow

processes. It is also built for rugged
durability and available in both
carbon steel and stainless steel.
And the transducers can easily be
changed without the need for
down time or process shut-downs.
So for operations that routinely
push their flowmeter to the limit,
SONO 3100 is the flowmeter that
offers the highest possible performance. Pressure ratings up to
PN40/ANSI 300 lbs are standard.
Materials as Hastelloy, Doublex or
Titanium and higher ratings are
available on customer specified
units.
For applications with short inlet
conditions, 4-track solutions are
also available on request.
SONO 3300 is an excellent choice
for all purpose applications for
water, treated wastewater, energy,
district heating, irrigation, HVAC
(Heating, Ventilation and Air
Conditioning) or general industrial
applications.
While the transducers cannot be
changed and the choice of construction material is more limited,
SONO 3300 offers a price/performance ratio thats hard to beat.

SONO 3100 is ideal for applications

where scale build-up is a concern.
