Sonix is nothing short of a transformation in gas metering. Unlike mechanical

diaphragm meters, the Sonix digital design completely eliminates moving parts, relying instead on the proven technology of ultrasonics to measure gas flow. The digital design provides a host of additional advantages. It creates a platform for extensive diagnostic capabilitiesand highly accurate temperature correction. Its compact size drastically reduces installation and labor costsand space requirements. A true expression of the principle that “less is more,” Sonix’s compact size andsimple, no-moving parts design offers unprecedented levels of accuracy, reliability, and performance available in no other gas meter, all backed by a full 15-year warranty — the best in the industry.
