Endress+Hauser Ultrasonic Flowmeter Model 9W4BA0 vs 9W4BA1 vs 9W4BA2: What’s the Difference?

Prosonic Flow W 400 is a clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter designed for continuous flow measurement of liquids such as water, wastewater, cooling water, and various industrial process fluids.

Its key advantage is that it does not require pipe cutting or direct contact with the medium. The measurement is carried out externally using ultrasonic signals, which makes installation simple, maintenance low-cost, and allows installation without process shutdown.

1. Working Principle

The flowmeter is installed outside the pipe and sends ultrasonic signals through the pipe wall.

By measuring the time difference of ultrasonic signals traveling in and against the flow direction, the system calculates flow velocity. Combined with pipe size, it determines the flow rate.

👉 Simply put:
It measures flow by “listening to sound inside the pipe.”

2. Differences Between 9W4BA0 / 9W4BA1 / 9W4BA2

These three models belong to the same product family. The measuring principle is identical. The difference lies in system configuration and application reliability.

① 9W4BA0 — Standard Basic Version (1 set system)

  • Configuration: 1 set
  • Single ultrasonic measurement system
  • Designed for standard operating conditions

Features:

  • Easy installation
  • Lowest cost option
  • Suitable for basic flow measurement
  • Stable and reliable performance

Typical applications:

  • Municipal water supply
