Measuring technology for flow rate, mass flow rate and flow velocity

This principle of measurement is also referred to as the transit time difference method. For measuring the flow rate of liquids using this technique, ultrasonic pulses are sent and received simultaneously through the medium in the direction of flow and against it. The sensors work alternately as transmitter and receiver. The transit time of the acoustic signals filtered through the medium in the direction of flow is shorter than that against it. The difference in transit time Δt is measured and can be used to calculate the average flow velocity of liquids filtering through the acoustic path. After measuring the flow velocity and with the pipe cross-sectional area, volumetric flow can be calculated.

Overview

THE ULTRASONIC FLOW MEASURING METHOD PROVIDES MANY ADVANTAGES

These ultrasonic flowmeters have many benefits, for example, the measuring instruments produce accurate results in just a matter of minutes, they are easy to install and operate, there is no process interruption and there are no pipe restrictions. As a result, there is no pressure loss and therefore, time and cost savings as the ultrasonic flow meter is easy to install on the pipe.

resulting in an excellent cost-benefit ratio.

Flow rate measurement in liquid-filled pipes, HVAC systems, pump and technical system verification, boiler testing, leak detection, filter sizing, fire and hydraulic systems.

Non-contact measurement from the outside means that the ultrasonic flow measuring instrument is indispensable in many branches of industry, such as, water management, building services, energy sector, chemical and pharmaceutical, food technology and petrochemical.

Ultrasonic flow measuring instruments can be used in the following industries:

Chemical Aggressive, toxic, high-viscosity and non-conductive fluids

Petrochemical Flow measurement of various intermediate or end products, e.g. tar, bitumen

Offshore Industry Measuring liquid hydrocarbon

Power plants Operational measuring of coolants and boiler feed water, condensate

Pharmaceutical, Semiconductor Industry Ultrapure liquids / fluids

Beverage industry Hygienic measuring in bottling plants or tank installations

Water / sewage Measuring in large pipes and underground pipes and ducts

Plant engineering and construction Any flow rate measurement, e.g. leakage detection in hydraulic plants, pump verification

Aerospace Testing hydraulic, supply and cooling systems

These are just some examples of typical mediums in various branches of industry.

Other mediums suited for this principle of measurement: de-mineralized water, drinking water, river water, water-glycol mixtures, hydraulic oil, diesel, fuel oil, petroleum products, etc.

Ultrasonic flow measurement ExactSonic P for test bench applications

Measuring tube diameters 50, 80, 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 mm (other diameters on request). With temperature and pressure, the transducer calculates the standard volume or mass flow rate from the operating volume flow rate. The transducer is integrated in the connector housing and has a touch display, via which the measured values can be displayed directly and the device can be parameterized. In parallel, both can be remote controlled via the AK protocol from the control room/computer.
