Understanding and Working Principles
Ultrasonic Flowmeter is a tool used to measure the flow (Discharge) Liquid / Liquid or Gas.
The working principle of ultrasonic flowmeter is to use sound waves / ultrasonic sound
Ultrasonic Flowmeter Reading MethodUltrasonic Open Channel Flow MeterAs the name suggests, this method is indeed used for open / non-pipe flows, such as rivers, irrigation canals and othersIt works using ultrasonic reflection to determine the distance from the face of the ultrasonic transducer to the surface of the liquidThe difference in the time taken when the signal is transmitted and when the signal is received determines the liquid levelThis height will be converted into discharge / flow,By calculating the flow height with the size / dimensions of the open channel plate that has been determined during installationInstallationClamped-on where the installation is placed outside the pipeClamped-on Portable - Handheld typeInline where the installation is placed together with the pipe using flangesInsertion where this method is almost the same as the inline modelOpen Channel, Above the plate that has been determined the dimensionsAdvantages of Ultrasonic Flow Meters:1. No Pressure Loss: The pressure does not decrease after the liquid passes through this flowmeter, because the sensor has no moving parts and blocks the flowEven for the clamp on and open channel mounting method the sensor does not come into contact with the fluid2. Easy Maintenance, so for low maintenance costs3. Available portable models are suitable for under everywhere for analysis and diagnosis in the field.4, clamp on if applied to a large pipe size above 10 inches will be more economical than other types of flowmeters.5. Practical Installation, because there is no need to cut the pipe or make holes in the pipe for the clamp on version,6. Safe because it does not come into direct contact with liquids/gases that may contain hazardous chemicals7. Sensors are more durable
