A gas bubble detector refers to a device that is used to detect the presence of gas bubbles in liquids used in medical equipment, fuel and lubrication systems in industrial settings and other fluids. In the case of an ultrasonic gas bubble detector, the transducer produces ultrasonic waves on one side and passes them through the tubing to the opposite transducer that consistently recognizes the signal strength. The transmission of ultrasonic waves is different between bubbles and liquid. Only when there is liquid in the tube will ultrasonic waves be transmitted.

Allied Market Research published an exclusive report, titled, “Ultrasonic Air Bubble Detectors Market by Product (Fixed, Adjustable), by Application (Medical Technologies, Pharmaceutical Industry, Foodstuffs Industry, Automation and Process Control, Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021–2031”.

The global ultrasonic air bubble detectors market was valued at $108.8 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $221.6 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.3% from 2022 to 2031.

However, when bubbles are passing through, the ultrasonic waves will be reflected because of the bubbles. From this, the signal received will be weak. This is how ultrasonic gas bubble detectors are used to identify bubbles within the tube. Ultrasonic bubble sensors are totally non-invasive and, once they are calibrated in the factory, do not need further calibration in the field.
