AT75 Airducer® Ultrasonic Air Transducer for Level, Distance and Flow Applications

Airmar's ultrasonic AT75 Airducer® Transducer reliably delivers non-contact level, flow and distance measurement. It operates at 75 kHz and its sensing range is 20 cm to 10 m. The AT75 is available as an AR model with threaded cap. The AT75 Airducer® Transducer includes rugged sealed construction, and PVDF housing is available for more chemically aggressive environments.
