According to the conventional method we use for our Ask the Expert series of blogs, we are here again with a new informative blog on Working Principle and Applications of Ultrasonic Flow Meter.
So, let’s discuss this topic in detail-
What is Ultrasonic Flow Meter?
Ultrasonic Flow meter is a device used to measure the velocity of the fluid with the help of ultrasound transducers to compute volume flow of the fluid. This flow meter measures average velocity of the fluid with the use of sound waves.
Working Principle of Ultrasonic Flow Meters-
The hero of this story is Doppler’s effect that is basically a frequency shift of ultrasonic signals when it is imitated by deferred particles of fluid in motions. The metering method of this flow meter uses the Physical phenomenon of sound waves to measure an average flow rate of the fluid.
Ultrasonic flow meters sends and receives ultrasonic waves between transducers in the both upstream and downstream directions within the pipe. Generally it takes more time while upstream flow conditions and less time during downstream flow conditions. The upstream and downstream times is processed by the transmitter to define the flow rate.
These flow meters are used in diversified industries along with its wide range of applications.
Applications of Ultrasonic Flow Meter-
- To measure the velocity of the liquids that permits ultrasonic waves to pass through it. Such liquids consist of water, molten sulfur, cryogenic liquids, and chemicals.
- To measure gas and vapor flow.
- Used for wastewater flow metering
- Building services
- Power and energy management
- Chemical and pharmaceutical industry
- Food and hygienic flow-metering
- Steel industry
- Petro-chemical
- Pump inspection
Although there are many different types of Ultrasonic flow meters that are used in different industries according to its applications. Generally, specifications are different between the various manufacturers but the principle of its working is almost similar in every flow meter of this type. Installation of this flow meter depends on the requirement of the industry. For more information contact us at www.broiltech.com.
