The piezoelectric effect demonstrated in piezoceramic materials, provides sensor and actuators for many applications. Recently, Morgan Technical Ceramics (MTC) developed a line of ultrasonic sensors for gas flow measurement using piezoceramic materials. The sensor uses the transmission and reception of ultrasonic waves across a gas channel for time of flight measurement and subsequent flow calculation.
Since it has no moving parts, the sensor is inherently more reliable than alternative sensing techniques that are subject to wear. Also, it does not cause a pressure drop in applications such as acoustic anemometry systems and SMART metering systems for measuring natural gas usage, as well as air-coupled level measurement of liquids and solids.

Hello ,
this sensor can sense a chlorine gas?
