Function
Measurement principle
Transit time difference principle
In order to measure the flow of a fluid in a pipe, ultrasonic signals are used, employing the transit time difference principle. Ultrasonic signals are emitted by a transducer installed on the pipe and received by a second
transducer. These signals are emitted alternately in the flow direction and against it.
As the fluid in which the signals propagate is flowing, the transit time of the ultrasonic signals in the flow direction is shorter than against the flow direction.
The transit time difference, t, is measured and allows the flowmeter to determine the average flow velocity
along the propagation path of the ultrasonic signals. A flow profile correction is then performed in order to obtain the area averaged flow velocity, which is proportional to the volumetric flow rate.
Two integrated microprocessors control the entire measuring process. This allows the flowmeter to remove
disturbance signals, and to check each received ultrasonic wave for its validity which reduces noise.
HybridTrek
If the gaseous or solid content in the fluid increases occasionally during measurement, a measurement with
the transit time difference principle is no longer possible. NoiseTrek mode will then be selected by the flowmeter. This measurement method allows the flowmeter to achieve a stable measurement even with high gaseous or solid content.
The transmitter can switch automatically between transit time and NoiseTrek mode without any changes to
the measurement setup.
