Working Principle
Line type ultrasonic flow meters operate using the transit-time method. Two transducers are placed on the pipe’s exterior at a specific distance apart. These transducers send and receive ultrasonic pulses through the fluid. The meter calculates the flow rate by measuring the difference in the transit times of the ultrasonic pulses traveling with and against the fluid flow. This non-intrusive method ensures no disruption to the flow and no pressure drop.
Applications
- Water and Wastewater Management: Ideal for monitoring flow in water distribution and wastewater treatment plants.
- HVAC Systems: Used for flow measurement in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.
- Oil and Gas Industry: Suitable for monitoring liquid flow in pipelines and storage facilities.
- Industrial Process Control: Provides accurate flow measurement for various industrial processes.
- Chemical Processing: Accurate measurement of aggressive and corrosive liquids.
Installation and Maintenance
The installation of line type ultrasonic flow meters is straightforward and requires no special tools or pipe modifications. The clamp-on transducers can be attached to the outside of the pipe using straps or mounting brackets. The meter’s user-friendly interface guides the user through the setup process, ensuring quick and accurate measurements. Maintenance is minimal, primarily involving periodic calibration and inspection.
Benefits
- Non-Intrusive Measurement: Ensures no disruption to the flow or system operation.
- Fixed Installation: Suitable for permanent flow measurement solutions.
- Cost-Effective: Reduces installation and maintenance costs due to its non-intrusive nature.
- Versatile: Suitable for a wide range of applications and pipe sizes.
