Monitor Flow Rate Accurately With the Sonic-Pro MS-6 Chemical Feed Flowmeter

Industry professionals require an instrument that monitors flow rate with extreme accuracy. Blue-White’s Sonic-Pro MS-6 Chemical Feed Flowmeter satisfies both requirements. It has measurable flow rates down to 10 mL per minute (0.15 gph) and up to 10,000 mL per minute (158.5 gph). Blue-White’s MS-6 flowmeter offers one of the lowest flow rates available.

The ultrasonic technology of the MS-6 flowmeter is an innovative addition to flowmeter offerings in the water and wastewater treatment industries. The flowmeter applies transit time ultrasonic technology to offer a broad flow range, and implementation of this technology provides an immediate solution to a problem the industry has struggled with for years.

Flowmeter features

Features of the MS-6 include a 4-20 mA output, frequency output, and high- and low-flow setpoints that can be used for no-flow alarms. In addition, the flowmeter has numerous warning functions to alert operators to problems in the system like air bubbles or empty pipe situations.

No-flow conditions can indicate there is a block in the chemical line or that the chemical tank is empty, and alarming to these no-flow conditions is critical at plants. While chemical controllers can also provide this feedback, the reaction time is slower because it takes time for the system to register a large drop in pH, and for the controller to signal an alarm. In contrast, the MS-6 communicates these problems instantaneously with the SCADA control system. This capability helps ensure minimal downtime as well as minimal loss of production at the plant.

Accuracy is paramount

Accurately monitoring the amount of chemical being dosed into the system is crucial to ensure effective water treatment. An overdose or underdose of chemicals can adversely affect the quality of the treated water and leads to wasted chemicals, which also has a financial impact.

With the high accuracy and functionality of the MS-6 flowmeter, plant operators and SCADA personnel are consistently provided feedback to optimize production.

With PVDF and PEEK wetted components, NSF 61 approval, and the necessary features to accurately monitor chemical dosing, the MS-6 is an excellent fit for drinking water applications.

MS-6 case study

Heyward Incorporated, specializing in water and wastewater process equipment, has a branch in Charlotte, North Carolina, which currently utilizes the MS-6 flowmeter. Heyward was using a gear flowmeter in a 20% cationic filter aid polymer neat feed application and experiencing gear flowmeter failure.  

With the easy switch to the Sonic-Pro MS-6, there has been no flowmeter failure and the meter readings have consistently been accurate based on draw downs.

In addition, Blue-White manufactures a broad range of both diaphragm and peristaltic chemical dosing pumps perfect for precision pairing with the MS-6.


Blue-White Industries, incorporated in 1957, is located in Huntington Beach, California. The company manufactures all its products in the U.S., including most components, in its own factory. Product lines include chemical feed and dosing pumps, complete skid systems, chemical feed sensors, variable area flowmeters, digital paddle wheel insertion style flowmeters, mechanical diaphragm metering pumps and compact peristaltic dosing pumps.
