Function
Measurement principle
In order to measure the flow of a fluid in a pipe, ultrasonic signals are used, employing the transit time differ-
ence 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 direc-
tion 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 ob-
tain 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.

Step 2

The transducers are selected from the characteristics (see next page). Lamb wave transducers are selected
from the left column, shear wave transducers from the right column.
Lamb wave transducers: If the values d and v are not in the range, the diagonal arrangement with 1 sound
path may be used, i.e. the same characteristics can be used with doubling the inner pipe diameter. If the val-
ues are still not in the range, shear waves transducers regarding the pipe wall thickness have to be selected
in step 1b.
