Ultrasonic flowmeters

What is an ultrasonic flowmeter?

Ultrasonic meters are used for measuring liquid flow.

The measurement is based on the travel time of sound in a known liquid. The ultrasonic flowmeter sends an ultrasonic signal into the pipe to be measured while also receiving the return signal. When the pipe size and the speed of sound in the flowing medium are known, the flow rate of the medium can be calculated based on the obtained signal.

Choosing an Ultrasonic Flowmeter

Ultrasonic flowmeters are also available in battery-operated form, which reduces installation costs in locations where electricity is not readily available.

Measurement is also possible from the top of the pipe.

In addition to the measurement that is introduced into the pipe, there is also measurement from the surface of the pipe. The sensors are installed at a distance from each other, as specified in the instructions for use depending on the pipe’s diameter, so that the pipe does not have to be drilled. This is also suitable for temporary verification measurements. However, the surface measurement is always performed in such a way that the pipe is full of the liquid being measured.
