When precise measurement of gas‑liquid two-phase flows is critical — whether in chemical processing, energy research, nuclear cooling studies, or fluid mechanics research — the BubbleMaster Model 7961 delivers. This research-grade analyzer from Kanomax enables accurate, simultaneous measurements of void fraction, bubble size, and bubble velocity, providing unmatched insight into complex multiphase flows.

The Gold Standard in Two‑Phase Flow Measurement

The BubbleMaster uses wedge-shaped optical fiber sensors to detect changes in reflected light intensity as bubbles pass through the sensor tip — converting those changes into high-fidelity data on bubble behavior.

Unlike non-intrusive optical methods, BubbleMaster’s intrusive fiber-optic sensing allows measurement even when void fraction exceeds 1%, making it effective in denser, more complex flows where other instruments may fail.

With options for different sensor tip types — S‑TOP, T‑TOP, and F‑TOP — the system can be tailored to a wide range of research demands.

Advanced Capabilities: What BubbleMaster Measures

• Time‑averaged void fraction — quantify how much of the flow volume is occupied by gas versus liquid.
• Individual bubble detection, size, and velocity — every bubble passing the sensor is recorded; with T‑TOP or F‑TOP sensors, you get detailed data on bubble diameter and speed, along with statistical analyses (average, standard deviation) and histograms.
• Compatibility with non‑conductive fluids — BubbleMaster works in a wide variety of liquid media, increasing its usefulness across industries.

Because of its fiber‑optic, photoelectric detection method, the system can detect bubbles greater than 1.0 mm and handle fluid velocities up to 5 m/s, making it suitable for a wide range of two-phase flow experiments.

Intelligent Data Acquisition & Analysis

BubbleMaster comes with software designed to maximize the value of every test. With high‑speed sampling (burst or continuous mode) and data acquisition capacity for up to 100,000 bubbles, researchers can capture large datasets for statistically robust analysis.

The software provides real-time monitoring, bubble signal waveforms, and detailed output data — including void fraction, bubble size and velocity distributions, tables, histograms, averages, and standard deviations.

Compact, Research‑Ready Hardware

The main BubbleMaster unit is designed for lab environments: compact enough for benchtop use, yet powerful enough for rigorous research. It measures 255 × 313 × 153 mm and weighs about 4.5 kg. Power requirements are standard — AC 90–240 V, 50/60 Hz — making it easy to integrate into most labs worldwide.

Multiple sensor tip options (S‑TOP, T‑TOP, F‑TOP) — including versions made for high heat or pressure — allow customization to match the fluid, pressure, and environmental conditions of your tests.
