What is transonic?
Transonic flow measurements inform the surgeon, the nephrologist, and the interventional radiologist and create a “Circle of Care ® ” for the patient and their vascular access. Transonic offers a wide range of innovative products and measurements for life science research applications.
What is the speed of transonic flow?
The exact range of speeds depends on the object’s critical Mach number, but transonic flow is seen at flight speeds close to the speed of sound (343 m/s at sea level), typically between Mach 0.8 and 1.2. The issue of transonic speed (or transonic regime) first appeared during World War II.
What is transonic airflow?
Transonic. It is formally defined as the range of speeds between the critical Mach number, when some parts of the airflow over an air vehicle or airfoil are supersonic, and a higher speed, typically near Mach 1.2, when most of the airflow is supersonic. Between these speeds some of the airflow is supersonic, but a significant fraction is not.
Who invented transonic flight?
Not long after, the term “transonic” was defined to mean “across the speed of sound” and was invented by NACA director Hugh Dryden and Theodore von Kármán of the California Institute of Technology. Initially, NACA designed “dive flaps” to help stabilize the plane when reaching transonic flight.
Why choose Transonic for volume flow measurement?
Transonic’s transit-time flow technology has been cited in over 4500 studies that include human surgery, research applications, bench validations, life-saving medical devices and many other applications. When accurate volume flow measurement is critical, Transonic provides the best measurement solution.
Does transonic offer OEM services?
Yes. Transonic has offered end-to-end OEM design, development, and production capabilities for over 35 years. We are a full-service partner to a variety of leading medical device manufacturers. Does Transonic offer OEM services beyond flow measurement?
What is the transonic flow-QC hemodialysis monitor?
The Transonic Flow-QC Hemodialysis Monitor has benefited numerous dialysis-dependent patients by reducing and, in many cases, eliminating the agony of a clotted AV graft or fistula, thereby facilitating correction of access stenoses on an elective basis that prevents missed dialyses and the need for placing temporary catheters.
