Microflown Mission statement

Based upon its unique MEMS technology based acoustic particle velocity sensor, Microflown Technologies develops and markets highly innovative products and (on site) testing services in the field of noise and vibration.

The Microflown

The Microflown is the worlds first and only MEMS technology based sensor that can measure the acoustic particle velocity. By measuring the temperature difference in the cross section of two extremely thin platinum wires placed in parallel, this extremely fast mass flow sensor is capable of monitoring the movement of air particles.  Any sound field is described completely by both the (scalar) value sound pressure and the (vector) value acoustic particle velocity. Understandably, acoustic testing becomes much easier if both acoustic quantities can be measured.

Applications

Microflown Technologies offers superior applications in the field of sound and vibration testing.

  • fast and broad banded panel noise contribtion analysis
  • ( portable ) near field acoustic camera's
  • sound source triangulation techniques in the acoustic far field
  • in situ determination of acoustic properties of materials
  • non contact vibration measurements / modal analysis
  • micropore leaktesting

Markets

Microflown Technologies develops and markets innovative (acoustic) testing techniques to the aerospace, automotive and defence industry. Within the vehicle manufacturing industry, Microflown based testing methods are used for both the development of new prototypes and end of line acoustic testing during manufacturing.
