    Ultra Sonic Flow Meter

    Ultrasonic flow meters use ultrasound to measure fluid velocity and calculate volume flow. They transmit ultrasound pulses into the flow in both directions and measure the difference in transit times, or they detect the Doppler shift in reflected ultrasound signals, to determine flow velocity. Ultrasonic meters are affected by fluid properties like temperature, density, and viscosity, but have no moving parts so they are inexpensive to operate and maintain compared to mechanical flow meters. The three main types are transmission, reflection, and open-channel meters.

    ULTRA SONIC FLOW METER

    An ultrasonic flow meter is a type of flow meter that measures the velocity of a fluid with ultrasound to
    calculate volume flow. Using ultrasonic transducers, the flow meter can measure the average velocity
    along the path of an emitted beam of ultrasound, by averaging the difference in measured transit time
    between the pulses of ultrasound propagating into and against the direction of the flow or by measuring
    the frequency shift from the Doppler effect. Ultrasonic flow meters are affected by the acoustic
    properties of the fluid and can be impacted by temperature, density, viscosity and suspended particulates
    depending on the exact flow meter. They vary greatly in purchase price but are often inexpensive to use
    and maintain because they do not use moving parts, unlike mechanical flow meters.

    Means of operation
    There are three different types of ultrasonic flow meters. Transmission (or contra propagating transit-
    time) flow meters can be distinguished into in-line (intrusive, wetted) and clamp-on (non-intrusive)
    varieties. Ultrasonic flow meters that use the Doppler shift are called reflection or Doppler flow meters.
    The third type is the open-channel flow meter.

    Time transit flow meter


    Ultrasonic flow meters measure the difference between the transit time of ultrasonic pulses propagating
    with and against the flow direction. This time difference is a measure for the average velocity of the fluid
    along the path of the ultrasonic beam. By using the absolute transit

    Doppler shift flow meters


    Another method in ultrasonic flow metering is the use of the Doppler shift that results from the reflection
    of an ultrasonic beam off sonically reflective materials, such as solid particles or entrained air bubbles in a
    flowing fluid, or the turbulence of the fluid itself, if the liquid is clean.
    Doppler flowmeters are used for slurries, liquids with bubbles, gases with sound-reflecting particles.
    This type of flow meter can also be used to measure the rate of blood flow, by passing an ultrasonic
    beam through the tissues, bouncing it off a reflective plate, then reversing the direction of the beam and
    repeating the measurement, the volume of blood flow can be estimated. The frequency of the
    transmitted beam is affected by the movement of blood in the vessel and by comparing the frequency of
    the upstream beam versus downstream the flow of blood through the vessel can be measured. The
    difference between the two frequencies is a measure of true volume flow. A wide-beam sensor can also
    be used to measure flow independent of the cross-sectional area of the blood vessel.
