Eliminate field failures, reduce operational costs, and future-proof your water systems with the UFM-02 contactless ultrasonic technology.
Mechanical sensors fail in a few years. Moving parts wear out, triggering costly field service calls and missing leak detection requirements your customers—and insurers—now demand.
UFM-02 eliminates the problem at the source: Contactless ultrasonic technology delivers 10-20 year operational life with zero maintenance. Detects even micro-leaks. Runs for years on battery power with 90% lower consumption.
Custom cables, connectors, and firmware configurations. Engineered for your exact application.
The limitations are getting harder to ignore:
Rotating impellers jam. Rotors wear out. Accuracy drifts. By the time they fail after a few years, costly field repairs are inevitable.
With our technology, micro-leaks are detected reliably, even at flow rates mechanical sensors miss. Long-lasting, low-power design keeps IoT devices running for years without battery replacements. Maintenance? Minimal. Hard water, scaling, and corrosion no longer threaten performance. Downtime becomes predictable and manageable, protecting operations, relationships, and total cost of operations.
Traditional mechanical flow sensors with rotating impellers are being replaced by ultrasonic technology for three critical reasons: eliminating field failures, operational efficiency, and future-readiness. Here’s how UFM-02 solves the problems that mechanical sensors can’t.
The UFM-02 consumes just 50 microamps (µA)—enabling years of battery-powered operation instead of frequent, costly replacements.
This dramatic power reduction enables seamless IoT and smart home device integration without draining system power, reduced operational costs in high-volume commercial installations, and suitability for battery-dependent applications requiring long autonomous operation cycles.
Traditional impeller-based sensors degrade over time as moving parts experience friction and wear. The UFM-02 uses contactless ultrasonic measurement to remove this failure point entirely, providing 10-20 year operational lifetimes with zero maintenance requirements. This approach delivers consistent performance throughout the product lifecycle, reducing service calls while ensuring reliable operation in applications where sensor replacement is costly or impractical.
The UFM-02’s ability to detect flow rates as low as 0.03 liters per minute opens capabilities beyond standard flow measurement. This sensitivity enables early leak detection that meets insurance requirements and reduces liability exposure, supports precision control in applications where small flow variations affect product quality, allows connected systems to alert users to abnormal flow patterns, and helps satisfy water conservation mandates that increasingly require detailed consumption monitoring.
Drinking water certification comes standard with the UFM-02, making it suitable for water purifiers, water dispensers, coffee machines, and sanitary equipment. The sensor’s contactless design means no stagnation points where bacteria can develop, and the absence of moving parts eliminates contamination risks present in mechanical alternatives. Pre-certification shortens development cycles by removing months of testing and validation from your product timeline.
The UFM-02 offers standard SPI and pulse output interfaces for straightforward integration with common MCU platforms, while four thread sizes from G3/8″ to G1.5″ accommodate different pipe diameters. For applications requiring specific configurations, customization options include tailored cables, connectors, and firmware algorithms optimized for particular flow profiles. This combination of standard interfaces and customization capabilities supports both rapid prototyping and application-specific optimization.
