Ultrasonic Flow Meter Principle
Our ultrasonic flow meters operate based on Transit-time principle:
Transit-Time (Time-of-Flight) Measurement
- Two ultrasonic sensors are placed on opposite sides of the pipe, sending and receiving ultrasonic signals.
- The time it takes for the ultrasonic wave to travel upstream (against the flow) and downstream (with the flow) is measured.
- The difference in transit time is directly proportional to the flow velocity of the medium.
- This method is highly accurate and suitable for clean liquids and gases.
Advantages of Ultrasonic Flow Meter
Non-Intrusive
No direct contact with the fluid, reducing wear and tear.
High Accuracy
Can measure flow rates with precision, especially in clean liquids and gases.
Low Maintenance
No moving parts, minimizing maintenance requirements.
Wide Application
Used in industries such as oil and gas, water treatment, chemical processing, etc
How Does It Work?
A transit-time ultrasonic flow meter works by measuring the difference in the time it takes for ultrasonic waves to travel upstream and downstream through a fluid. This time difference is proportional to the flow velocity, which is then used to calculate the flow rate. It’s a reliable, non-intrusive, and accurate method for measuring flow in clean fluids.
Installation Requirement
The first step in the installation process is the selection of an optimum location in order to obtain a more accurate measurement. For this to be completed effectively, a basic knowledge about the piping and its plumbing system would be advisable.
An optimum location would be defined as a straight pipe length full of liquid that is to be measured. The piping can be in vertical or horizontal position.
What is Non-Intrusive Ultrasonic Flow Meter Technology?
Non-intrusive ultrasonic flow meter technology is an advanced method for measuring fluid flow in pipes without the need for direct contact with the fluid or cutting into the pipe. It utilizes ultrasonic waves to determine the flow rate of liquids, gases, or slurries, offering a safe, accurate, and maintenance-free solution for various industrial applications.
