How An Ultrasonic Flow Meter Works

Apr 20, 2020Leave a message

Basic Information:


An ultrasonic flow meter utilizes ultrasound to measure the velocity of a fluid and is used in a variety of fluid applications. Ultrasonic flowmeters are ideal for water and other liquids. Clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters achieve high accuracy at low and high flows, save time with no pipe cutting or process shutdown, and are not affected by external noise.

 

Why choose ultrasonic? 


Ease-of-Installation: The largest benefit of any “clamp-on” transit-time flow meter is the ease-of-installation. While still requiring sections of straight pipe upstream of the measurement location, the process does not require shutting the system down to install, making maintenance and upkeep of transit-time meters much more attractive.


Low maintenance: There are no blades to wear out or bearings to replace as in turbine meters, nor are there electrodes that can foul over time as in magnetic flow meters.
