FAQ
An insertion type flow meter is a device that measures the flow of liquid or gas in a pipe. It’s installed by inserting a probe or sensor directly into the flow stream, without requiring the pipe to be cut or altered. This makes it easy to install, maintain, and remove, while providing accurate flow measurements for various applications.
The two types of ultrasonic flow meters are Doppler and Transit Time. Doppler flow meters measure the frequency shift of sound waves as they reflect off particles in the flow, while Transit Time flow meters measure the time it takes for sound waves to travel between two sensors, with the flow affecting the travel time.
The main difference between insertion and inline flow meters is how they’re installed. Insertion flow meters are installed by inserting a probe or sensor into the flow stream, while inline flow meters require the pipe to be cut and the meter to be placed directly into the pipeline. Inline flow meters usually offer higher accuracy, but insertion flow meters are easier to install and maintain.
To install an ultrasonic flow meter, first select the proper location on the pipe, ensuring it’s free of bends, valves, or obstructions. Clean the pipe surface, apply coupling gel, and mount the flow meter’s sensors according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Connect the sensors to the flow meter’s electronics, and then configure the device settings, including pipe diameter, material, and other parameters. Finally, test the flow meter to ensure accurate readings.

The ultrasonic water meter adopts the time difference method to measure the flow. That is, an ultrasonic transducer is installed at the upstream and downstream of the measuring channel (pipe section) to transmit and receive ultrasonic signals.
Because the ultrasonic signal and the water flow signal are superimposed, the propagation speed of the sound wave is different in the forward and reverse flow. Therefore, the running time of the ultrasonic signal emitted by different transducers in the water is different. The fluid can be calculated by measuring the difference of the time The flow rate. Then it is converted into a flow rate, so as to realize the measurement of the flow rate.
There are two transducers on the top of the flow tube. Transducer A transmits an ultrasonic signal to transducer B (downstream), while transducer B transmits an ultrasonic signal to transducer A (countercurrent). Downstream and The countercurrent ultrasonic signal forms a certain time difference in the transmission process. In the case of the calibrated cross-sectional area of the pipe diameter and the length of the standard measuring pipe, the flow rate of the meter is calculated by the calculation chip on the integrator.

The measurement accuracy of the ultrasonic flowmeter is very high. Almost no interference from various parameters of the measured medium. In particular, it can solve the flow measurement problems of strong corrosive, non-conductive, radioactive and flammable and explosive media that other instruments cannot. So what causes the inaccurate measurement of the ultrasonic flowmeter? The following are the reasons for the inaccurate measurement: The influence of pipeline parameter equipment on the accuracy of ultrasonic flowmeter measurement. The influence of upstream and downstream straight pipes on the accuracy of ultrasonic flowmeter measurement. The influence of couplant on measurement accuracy. The influence of the installation position of the ultrasonic flowmeter transducer on the measurement accuracy.
Common types of ultrasonic flow meters ①According to the measurement principle. Ultrasonic flowmeters are now the most commonly used methods for measuring flow rates are the propagation velocity difference method ultrasonic flowmeter and the Doppler frequency shift method ultrasonic flowmeter. The propagation velocity difference method can be divided into three types: time difference method, phase difference method and acoustic cycle frequency difference. ②According to the installation method of the transducer. There are two types of ultrasonic flowmeters: fixed ultrasonic flowmeter and portable ultrasonic flowmeter. The transducer installation methods of the fixed ultrasonic flowmeter can be divided into: A tube-segment ultrasonic flowmeter integrating transducer and measuring tube; The external clamp ultrasonic flowmeter with the transducer clamped on the outer wall of the measuring tube; Insertion Type Ultrasonic Flow Meter in which the transducer passes through the outer wall of the pipe and directly contacts the medium; The transducer is attached to the inner wall of the large pipeline ultrasonic flowmeter. ③According to the channel of propagation. Ultrasonic flow meters can be divided into single-channel ultrasonic flow meters and multi-channel ultrasonic flow meters. Among them, multi-channel can be divided into two-channel ultrasonic flowmeter, ultrasonic flowmeter, four-channel and eight-channel ultrasonic flowmeter.
The ultrasonic water meter adopts the time difference method to measure the flow. That is to say, an ultrasonic transducer is installed in the upstream and downstream of the measurement channel (pipe section) for mutual transmission and reception of ultrasonic signals.
Because the ultrasonic signal is superimposed with the water flow signal. Make the sound waves travel at different speeds in the forward and reverse flow. Therefore, the ultrasonic signals emitted by different transducers have different running times in water. By measuring the difference in time, the flow rate of the fluid can be calculated. And then converted into flow, so as to achieve flow measurement.

Clamp-on flow meter mainly refers to an ultrasonic external clamp-on flow meter. The ultrasonic sensor is clamped on the pipeline. It can be measured without changing the pipeline. Clamp-on flow meter can be a handheld host, portable host, etc.
Clamp on Ultrasonic Flow Meter adopts the measurement principle of the time difference method. It uses the ultrasonic wave emitted by the sensor to propagate in the flowing fluid. The sound wave propagation speed in the downstream direction will increase, and the backward direction will decrease. In the same propagation distance, there will be different transmission times. According to the difference between the transmission time and the measured The relationship between fluid velocity measures the fluid velocity.
The flow rate of the fluid is different in different positions in the tube. The flow rate in the center of the tube is faster than the flow rate near the wall of the tube. The flow velocity distribution of the fluid in the pipeline can be represented by the flow velocity cross-sectional distribution diagram.

Doppler flowmeter is an ultrasonic flowmeter that uses the Doppler effect of sound waves propagating in fluids. It is suitable for the flow measurement of open channels, rivers and difficult-to-build standard sections, as well as the flow measurement of various full and partial open channels.
The Doppler flowmeter uses the principle of ultrasonic Doppler to measure. By measuring the Doppler frequency shift of the sound waves scattered by the moving particles in the fluid, the velocity of the fluid can be obtained. Combined with the built-in pressure water level gauge, the velocity area method can be used to measure the flow rate of the liquid. According to different application scenarios, it can be called river flowmeter, sewer flowmeter, channel flowmeter, farmland irrigation flowmeter, non-full pipe flowmeter, etc.
Doppler flowmeters do not need to cut off the pipeline to install pipe-segment sensors like electromagnetic flowmeters. There is no need to use a shut-off device. Do not install a fixed weir to control the flow of water from a fixed outlet.
The Doppler flowmeter can measure in both clean and muddy water, and can also measure reverse flow velocity.
For flow velocity measurement, the first thing to explain is the Doppler shift. When there is relative motion between the wave source and the observer, the frequency received by the observer is different from the true frequency of the wave source. The difference between the frequency of the received signal and the frequency of the sound source is called the Doppler shift. Its size is determined by the relative speed between the two. This physical phenomenon is called the Doppler effect.
When measuring the flow velocity, the wave emitted by the probe encounters suspended matter, solid particles, vapor bubbles, and even unstable vortices and disturbances in the medium that follow the wave. Both will produce reflected waves that deviate from the transmit frequency, resulting in Doppler frequency changes. This effect is proportional to the velocity of movement of the reflector.
The receiving probe receives the reflected wave from each point. After complex signal processing, dynamic spectrum analysis and accuracy calculation. The flow velocity of the fluid in the pipe section can be obtained.
Flow rate calculation
The ultrasonic beam emitted from the Doppler velocity sensor (transducer) encounters particles or bubbles moving in the fluid. It is reflected back and received by the Doppler flow sensor (transducer). The Doppler frequency shift of the transmitted signal and the received signal is proportional to the fluid velocity.
Among them: u is the channel flow rate, f1 is the working frequency of the sensor, δfd is the Doppler frequency difference.
Flow calculation
Real-time flow velocity and water level data collected by acoustic Doppler flowmeter. The data acquisition and processing unit receives the flow rate and water level data. Calculate the instantaneous flow rate and record it as Qs; Then calculate the accumulated flow rate and record it as Q; its flow rate can be calculated as follows:
Qs=AV
In the formula, A is the water area of the pipeline, and V is the average flow velocity of the section.
Q = QsT
In the formula, the instantaneous flow of Qs section, T is the accumulated time (unit h).
Ultrasonic doppler flow meter advantages and disadvantages
Advantages of ultrasonic Doppler flowmeter:

Disadvantages of ultrasonic Doppler flowmeter:
Cannot measure pressured pipelines, closed pipelines and high temperature environments;
The water depth is less than 10cm and cannot be measured;
The stable data can only be measured in a place where the water flow is stable, and there are certain requirements for the selection of the installation location;
For a site with a large turbidity, it is not as good as a site with more floating objects, garbage, and bottom silt, and accurate data cannot be measured;
Ultrasonic Doppler Flow Meter Applications
Fixed Doppler ultrasonic flowmeters
Mainly used in environmental testing of urban sewage treatment plants, drainage pumping stations, and mining, oilfields, metallurgy, chemical, oil refining, paper, food and other industries.
Flow measurement of urban drainage, industrial wastewater, domestic sewage, mud, paper pulp, oil-water mixture, etc.
It is suitable for hard pipes such as steel and hard plastic pipes.
It can measure two-phase liquids containing suspended solid particles or bubbles in tubes with various tube diameters and wall thicknesses.
Doppler flow meter open channel
There are many monitoring methods for measuring the flow of water in open channels, among which the water level flow method and the velocity area method are the majority. The former uses an ultrasonic open channel flowmeter to measure, and the latter uses a Doppler flowmeter to measure in an open channel.
The methods used for different open channels are different. Here we mainly talk about what conditions the Doppler flowmeter must meet for measurement in an open channel.
The Doppler flowmeter is in full contact with the water through the flow rate sensor. The real-time flow rate is measured. Input the width, shape, and water depth of the open channel to the host. The host uses the speed area method to convert the real-time flow.
Therefore, it requires the water depth to immerse the sensor in order to obtain more accurate data.
Due to the principle of ultrasonic measurement, it is determined that the Doppler flowmeter measurement in the open channel needs to meet the following conditions:
The flow rate of the water flow should be uniform, and there should be no plain flow (to ensure such measurement conditions, the site should meet the straight channel with 15 times the channel width)
Water depth requirement: no sensor (Yuzheng Doppler flowmeter requires water depth ≥13cm)
Width of open channel ≥50cm
The water flow velocity is required to be 0.04m/s-10.00m/s. If the flow velocity is too fast, the measurement will be inaccurate
There should be no rubbish and large floating objects in the open channel
The water in the open channel should not be too pure, for example, pure water cannot be measured
The above six points are the conditions that need to be met simultaneously for the measurement in the open channel of the Doppler flowmeter. Of course, before the measurement, the selection of installation and the selection of the installation point are also very important.

Application of Ultrasonic Doppler Flowmeter in Irrigation District
1.Check the water level and velocity curve
Portable Doppler ultrasound can be used to place it in the channel of the irrigation area. During the upstream discharge process, the water level, velocity, and flow changes are measured. The water level, velocity, and flow meter are generated.
In the later calculation, you can directly use the ultrasonic water level gauge or the radar water level gauge for online monitoring. Combine the existing water level, velocity and flow relationship to get the flow value under the current water level.
When the upstream and downstream channels of the irrigation area are changed, re-measurement is required. This method is suitable for use in irrigation areas that require cost and require mass monitoring.
2.Long-term online monitoring
Use LSX-1 Doppler ultrasonic flowmeter with telemetering terminal. Use city power or solar power system for power supply. Fix the flowmeter in the channel. The telemetry terminal periodically collects the data in the flowmeter and sends it to the server remotely via GPRS. The data can be viewed through the WEB platform.
Portable Doppler Flow Meter
The Portable Doppler Flow Meter uses the Doppler effect of sound waves propagating in the fluid. Hand-held design, suitable for handheld wading water flow measurement.
The Portable Doppler Flow Meter (Model: LSX-2) can obtain the velocity of the fluid by measuring the Doppler frequency shift of the sound waves scattered by the moving particles in the fluid. Combined with the built-in pressure water level gauge, the velocity area method can be used to measure the flow of the liquid. It is suitable for flow measurement of open channels, rivers, pipelines and difficult-to-build standard sections. It can work continuously for more than 12 hours on a single charge.
Transit time vs Doppler flow meter
There are two types of ultrasonic flowmeters, one is the time difference measurement method, and the other is the Doppler method. Many users often only know one of them.
Here, we make a simple comparison so that you can choose the correct model.
1.The measurement principle is different.
The main principle of the time difference method is that when the ultrasonic beam propagates in the liquid, the flow of the liquid will cause a small change in the propagation time. The change in its propagation time is proportional to the flow rate of the liquid.
At zero flow, the time required for the two sensors to transmit and receive sound waves is exactly the same. The only technology that can actually measure zero flow.
When the liquid is flowing, the transmission time of sound waves in the counter-current direction is longer than that in the downstream direction. The Doppler method uses the characteristic that the ultrasonic wave will be scattered when encountering tiny solid particles or bubbles in the propagation path.
2.The applicable medium is different.
The time difference ultrasonic flowmeter can only measure clean liquids. It will not work well when it contains more solid particles or bubbles.
The Doppler method uses the scattering characteristics of ultrasonic waves for measurement. Therefore, the Doppler method is suitable for measuring fluids containing solid particles or bubbles, but clean liquids cannot be measured.
3.The measurement accuracy is different.
The time difference method has higher measurement accuracy, and the Doppler method has lower measurement accuracy.
Since scattered particles or bubbles exist randomly, the sound transmission performance of the fluid is also different. If it is a fluid with poor sound transmission performance, the scattering is stronger in the low velocity area near the pipe wall.
However, the scattering of fluids with good sound transmission performance is dominant in the high velocity area, which makes the measurement accuracy of the Doppler method lower.
Although it adopts a structure in which the transmitting transducer and the receiving transducer are separated. In this way, only the scattering in the middle area of the velocity profile can be received. However, the measurement accuracy is still lower compared with the time difference method.
4.The working conditions are different.
The time difference method is suitable for full pipe measurement. The Doppler method is suitable for measuring the flow of full pipes, partial pipes, open channels, etc.
OMEGA Engineering has a good explanation of Doppler vs Transit Time. Let’s look together.

Application of Ultrasonic Open Channel Flow Meter
Ultrasonic open channel flowmeter has a special structure with a Parshall groove. It can be used to continuously monitor the flow of sewage in the open channel and accumulate the flow. It is suitable for flow measurement under the conditions of water canal, agricultural irrigation, wastewater discharge, water conservancy, hydropower, environmental protection, and other industrial and agricultural open channels.
The open channel flowmeter transmits and receives ultrasonic waves under the control of a computer. Calculate the distance between the open channel flowmeter and the measured liquid surface according to the transmission time. So as to get the height of the liquid level.
So what problems should be paid attention to in the use of ultrasonic open channel flowmeters?
The host of the ultrasonic open channel flowmeter should be installed indoors. Check lines and sensors regularly;
Regularly check whether the filter screen and the still water well are blocked by foreign matter;
Perform metrological verification of the instrument regularly;
Regularly check the corrosion of the probe and replace it as needed
Ultrasonic open channel flowmeter has a special structure with a Parshall groove. It can be used to continuously monitor the flow of sewage in the open channel and accumulate the flow. It is used to measure the liquid flow in self-flowing partial pipes and open discharge channels. It is suitable for flow measurement under the conditions of water canal, agricultural irrigation, wastewater discharge, water conservancy, hydropower, environmental protection and other industrial and agricultural open channels.
Parshall Flume (PVC material, stainless steel material) for Open Channel Flow Meter
When choosing the type of weir and trough for measuring water, it is necessary to consider the size of the flow in the channel, the flow pattern of the water in the channel, and whether it can form a free flow. According to the different large flow, we can choose different weir grooves.
The large flow rate is less than 40 liters/sec. It is recommended to use a right-angled triangular weir;
It is recommended to use Parshall tank for more than 40 liters/sec;
The upstream channel is short, and the large flow rate is greater than 40 liters/sec. It is recommended to use a rectangular weir.
Conditions permit, a good choice of Parshall slot. The water level-flow relationship of the Parshall trough is calibrated by the laboratory, and the requirements for the upstream flow into the trough are relatively weak. The water level-flow relationship of the triangular weir and the rectangular weir is derived from theoretical calculations, and it is easy to cause additional errors due to ignoring some use conditions.
Use glass fiber reinforced plastic to make the measuring weir or trough. The size of the mouth of the triangular weir and the rectangular weir should be accurate, and the surface facing the water inlet should be smooth; the size of the throat part of the Parshall groove should be accurate, and the inner surface of the groove should be smooth.
Common installation methods and installation precautions of Parshall groove:
Put the Parshall trough into the open channel. Keep the trough level. The centerline of the Parshall trough should coincide with the centerline of the channel, so that the water flow into the Parshall trough does not appear drift.
After the Parshall trough is filled with water, the flow state of the water should flow freely. The submergence degree of the Parshall trough is less than the specified critical submergence degree.
Require: Keep the downstream discharge of the Parshall trough unblocked. Do not accumulate water, if not unblocked. Keep the water level difference greater than or equal to 30MM.
The straight section before the Parshall trough has a distance buffer of 1 to 3 meters. The buffer channel should be level with the bottom of the trough. It is convenient for ultrasonic measurement.
It must be ensured that there is a water level difference downstream of the Parshall trough. The discharge is unobstructed and no water will accumulate.
Open Channel Ultrasonic Flow Meter Working Principle
The open channel flowmeter is based on the specific shape of the Parshall metering groove/weir plate metering groove. It guarantees a certain liquid level and knows a certain flow rate. The Parshall groove/weir plate metering groove is selected as the specific flow channel. The measurement accuracy is high. Easy to install.
The sensor measures the height of the liquid level, which is processed by 89C52 series single-chip microcomputers to obtain the instantaneous flow and cumulative flow values.
The flow can be expressed by the following formula: Q=KHn Q: Instantaneous flow rate (t/h) K: Flow rate constant H: height of liquid level n: nth power value
The instantaneous flow is processed by the cumulative accumulation to obtain the cumulative flow.
Transit Time Ultrasonic Flow Meter adopts the measurement principle of the time difference method. It uses the ultrasonic wave emitted by the sensor to propagate in the flowing fluid. The sound wave propagation speed in the downstream direction will increase, and the backward direction will decrease. In the same propagation distance, there will be different transmission times. According to the difference between the transmission time and the measured The relationship between fluid velocity measures the fluid velocity.
The flow rate of the fluid is different in different positions in the tube. The flow rate in the center of the tube is faster than the flow rate near the wall of the tube. The flow velocity distribution of the fluid in the pipeline can be represented by the flow velocity cross-sectional distribution diagram.
By setting the flowmeter and considering the cross-sectional distribution of the flow velocity, the average flow velocity can be calculated. Then the volume flow of the fluid can be obtained according to the cross-sectional area of the pipe.
Notes: V measure fluid velocity M ultrasonic reflection times D pipe diameter θ The angle between the ultrasonic signal and the fluid T up The time when the downstream sensor transmits the signal to the upstream T down Time from the upstream sensor to downstream ΔT = T up – T down
Ultrasonic Doppler Flow Meter uses the physical principle of Doppler frequency shift to measure the water flow velocity.
Doppler effect (Doppler frequency shift) principle: The sound waves emitted by one object are received and reflected by another object. If the object emitting the sound wave is moving relative to the receiving object. The frequency of the sound wave received by the receiving object will be different from the frequency of the emitted sound wave.
If the relative distance between two objects is reduced, the received frequency will increase. If the relative distance between two objects is increased, the received frequency will decrease.
Such Doppler effects often occur in daily life. For example: when you hear the sirens (sounds) of an oncoming police car. The sound will appear higher in frequency. When the police car is far away from you, the sound it hears will become lower.
Through the difference between the frequency of transmitting ultrasonic waves and the frequency of receiving ultrasonic waves, the specific flow rate can be calculated. Then the water level is measured by the pressure sensor, and the water passing area is calculated from the water level and channel size. Finally, the velocity and area are integrated to calculate the final instantaneous flow.
Calculation formula: Velocity × water area × 3600 seconds = instantaneous flow rate (cubic meters/hour)
Ultrasonic Open Channel Flow Meter Measures Sewage
Because the ultrasonic open channel flow meter uses open channel non-contact measurement. Therefore, the probe can be separated from the host. It can effectively solve the problems of probe corrosion and instrument accuracy, so it is widely used in irrigation and drainage and sewage measurement.
To ensure that the sewage flowing through the flow tank has no foreign matter. A filter must be installed not far upstream of the flow tank;
To ensure that the sewage flowing through the flow tank is stable and without ripples. A still water well connected to the flow trough can be arranged on the side of the flow trough. The inner diameter of the well is ≥100mm. The bottom of the well should be 150mm below the lowest point of the trough. The width of the straight section of the trough ≥ 10 times the width of the water surface of the weir. The highest water level downstream is lower than the lowest water level of the weir;
The emission surface of the sensor probe should be parallel to the liquid surface. The distance between the lower end of the sensor and the highest liquid level should be ≥0.7 m;
There should be no strong light, electromagnetic field and other radiation sources around the sensor;
There should be measures to prevent rain and snow above the ultrasonic sensor.
Note in use:
Because the places where sewage ultrasonic sensors are installed are places with relatively poor environment. Therefore, the host of the instrument should be installed indoors. There should be a dedicated person to take care of it. Conduct regular inspections of lines and sensors;
Open Channel flow meters measure level, flow rate and total volume of water flowing through weirs, flumes, channels and partially filled pipes. These meters perform best where the sediment does not build up.
In principle, open channel flow measurement methods can be divided into two categories: water level method and velocity area method.
The water level method is to measure the upstream (or upstream and downstream) water levels of water measuring buildings and convert them into flow through empirical formulas or experimental curves.
The velocity area method does not need to build a water measuring building, and the flow rate is obtained by measuring the cross-sectional area of the water (in fact, the cross-sectional area is calculated by the measured water level) and the cross-sectional velocity.
Ultrasonic flowmeter is composed of three parts: ultrasonic transducer, electronic circuit and flow display and accumulation system.
The ultrasonic transmitting transducer converts electrical energy into ultrasonic energy and transmits it into the measured fluid. The ultrasonic signal received by the receiver is amplified by the electronic circuit and converted into an electrical signal representing the flow rate for display and totalizer for display And accumulate. In this way, the flow detection and display are realized.
According to the detection method, it can be divided into different types of ultrasonic flowmeters such as propagation velocity difference method, Doppler method, beam shift method, noise method, and related method. The ultrasonic flowmeter is a kind that has only begun to be applied with the rapid development of integrated circuit technology in the past ten years.
The usual accuracy of our ultrasonic flowmeter is 1%. The highest is 0.5% for a liquid ultrasonic flowmeter and 1.0% for a gas ultrasonic flowmeter.

Transit Time Ultrasonic Flow Meter is a multi-channel flow meter. A velocity flow meter that measures the flow rate of the medium using the time difference method.
Transit Time Ultrasonic Flow Meter is the flow velocity obtained by measuring the difference in the propagation time of the ultrasonic pulse in the measured medium. When multiple beams of ultrasonic waves propagate in a flowing fluid, they carry information about the fluid velocity. The flow rate of the fluid can be detected by the received ultrasonic wave and converted into flow rate. The use of ultrasonic flowmeter eliminates the need to install measuring elements in the fluid. No additional resistance is generated.
Sino-Inst offers a variety of Ultrasonic flow meters for flow measurement. If you have any questions, please contact our sales engineers.

The time difference method is actually based on the vector superposition of the ultrasonic propagation velocity and the liquid velocity. It can be simply compared to the process of ferrying on a river. Although the speed of the ferry itself is the same when flowing downstream and upstream.
However, due to the influence of the current speed, the time required for the ferry to reach the opposite bank is less when the flow is downstream than when it is upstream. The greater the flow velocity, the faster the downstream speed, and the longer the time required for the upstream flow. The time difference between the forward and reverse flow is proportional to the flow velocity.
Transit time ultrasonic flow meter equation
The difference in the upstream and downstream measurements taken over the same path is used to calculate the flow through the pipe:
V = K • D/sin2θ • 1/(T0 – t)2 ΔT
Where:
V = Mean velocity of flowing fluid K = Constant D = Inner diameter of the pipe θ = Incident angle of ultrasonic waves T0 = Zero flow transit time
ΔT = T1 – T2 T1 = Transit time of waves from upstream transmitter to downstream receiver T2 = Transit time of waves from downstream transmitter to upstream transmitter t = Transit time of waves through pipe wall and lining
The above equation shows that the flow velocity of the fluid is directly proportional to the difference in the upstream and downstream measurements.
The transit time ultrasonic flow meter has three possible transducer configurations: Z, V and W.
All are recognized as a single measuring path, whereas the ultrasonic beam follows a single path. In all three configurations, the output produced by the transducers is converted to a current, frequency or voltage signal. The preferred configuration is determined by factors such as:
Pipe size
Space available for mounting the transducers
Condition of the internal walls of the pipe
Type of lining
The characteristics of the flowing liquid
In the “Z” configuration, the transducers are positioned on opposite sides of the pipe with one downstream from the other.
Usually, the distance downstream is approximately D/2, where D equals the diameter of the pipe. The optimum distance is calculated by a converter. This arrangement is only advisable under conditions where there is limited space, high turbidity, a mortar lining or a thick build-up of scale on the interior walls of the pipe. It should be avoided for installations on small pipes, where the accuracy of its measurements tends to degrade.
The “V” configuration is recommended for most installations. This arrangement places the two transducers on the same side of the pipe within approximately a diameter of the pipe from each other. A rail attachment clamps on the pipe and allows the transducers to be slid horizontally to position them the calculated distance apart.
A “W” configuration is most often used for installations on pipes with diameters of ½ inch to 1½ inches. In this arrangement, the ultrasonic signal rebounds from the wall three times; therefore, it must travel a greater distance. High turbidity liquids, and scale or deposit build-up on the interior of the pipe wall can diminish accuracy.

Ultrasonic Water Meter Working Principle
First of all, let’s start with the measurement principle of the ultrasonic water meter:
Ultrasonic water meters use the difference between the downstream and upstream propagation of sound waves in the water to obtain the flow velocity of the water through a measurement formula, thereby further obtaining the cumulative flow of water per unit time.
Then the component that emits sound waves and receives the return sound waves is called a transducer. An ultrasonic water meter with a pair of transducers is called a mono ultrasonic water meter.
In theory, the measurement accuracy of an ultrasonic water meter with more channels will be higher. Because the more sound channels, the wider the width of the water meter to measure the water flowing through the pipe section. The more the number of measurements, the more reliable the data obtained.
However, the subsequent change is also the substantial increase in cost. If it is not particularly necessary, it is recommended to use dual channels to meet the normal measurement requirements.
Generally speaking, two-channel ultrasonic water meters are only used for DN100 and above.
Ultrasonic water meter is a new type of water meter that detects the time difference caused by the speed change when the ultrasonic sound beam propagates in the water upstream and downstream, and analyzes and processes the water velocity to further accumulate the water flow.
Ultrasonic water meter is a fully electronic water meter manufactured with industrial-grade electronic components using the principle of ultrasonic time difference. Compared with mechanical water meters, it has high precision, good reliability, wide range ratio, long service life and no moving parts. No need to set parameters, installation at any angle, etc.
With excellent small flow detection capabilities, it can solve many problems of traditional water meters. More suitable for gradient charging of water charges. It is more suitable for the conservation and rational use of water resources. It has a broad market and application prospects.
Ultrasonic Clamp on Flow Meter is composed of an integrated host and external clamp on sensors. Clamp on Flow Sensors are available at room temperature and high temperature.
Clamp on flow meter (Model: 2000) is composed of an integrated host and ultrasonic clamp on sensor. Clamp on flow meter is widely used in online flow measurement of various liquids. Just stick the external clamp sensor on the pipe surface. Compared with the traditional flowmeter, it does not need to cut off the pipe and flow. The installation is convenient and quick, and the non-destructive installation is truly realized.

According to the design requirements of household measurement, a filter must be installed before the water inlet. The filter must be cleaned and maintained regularly.
It must be installed in a horizontal or vertical direction, and the direction of the arrow on the pulse meter (including the filter) must be consistent with the direction of the water flow in the pipeline. Do not allow the water to flow backwards to avoid impurities in the water from damaging the meter. When installed vertically, the water flow direction must be upward .
Before installation, the pipes must be cleaned.
There should be straight pipes of sufficient length at the inlet and outlet of the water meter. The length of the straight pipe at the front end of the inlet should not be less than 10 times the length of the pipe diameter. The length of the straight pipe at the front end of the outlet should not be less than 5 times the length of the pipe diameter:
The water meter calculator (display) shall not be immersed in water.
The water quality of the water supply should meet the relevant regulations.
The water meter is a measuring instrument, and the heat meter must be checked regularly in accordance with national standards, and the battery must be replaced during the check.
To avoid man-made damage to the metering system, a water meter box can be installed.
Without the permission of the company, no one is allowed to disassemble the maintenance watch without permission, otherwise the warranty service will be released by itself.
Water meter is an instrument for measuring water flow. Most of them are cumulative flow measurement of water, generally divided into two types: volumetric water meter and speed water meter. Originated in the United Kingdom, the development of water meters has a history of nearly two hundred years.
The service life of the water meter shall not exceed 6 years (caliber of 15-25 mm), 4 years (caliber of > 25-50 mm), and shall be rotated upon expiration. In other words, a water meter with a diameter of 15 to 20 mm can be used for up to 6 years.

When the ultrasonic wave is transmitted in the water flow, the speed and temperature of the water flow will affect the ultrasonic receiving time. However, the difference between the upstream and downstream measurement times can eliminate the temperature effect. Therefore, if the ultrasonic receiving time is affected at this time, it is only related to the speed of the water flow.
During measurement, both transceivers transmit and receive ultrasonic waves, and the current water velocity can be calculated according to the time difference between upstream and downstream.
Compared with mechanical water meters, it has the characteristics of high precision, good reliability, wide range ratio, long service life, no moving parts, no need to set parameters and installation at any angle.
If the diameter of the water pipe is known when calculating the water loss, the flow rate for a certain period of time can be calculated. The calculation formula is:
Downstream formula: TDown= L / (VS+ Vf) Upstream formula: TUp= L / (VS– Vf)
L is the distance between the two ultrasonic sensors. VS is the speed of sound in water. Vf is the velocity of the water flow.
It is precisely because the ultrasonic water meter has the above characteristics. The measurement accuracy of the ultrasonic water meter is very high. It is several times or even dozens of times that of ordinary mechanical water meters. It is precisely because of this that more and more people are beginning to use ultrasonic water meters.
The areas with relatively large demand for ultrasonic water meters include agricultural irrigation, township water supply, urban water supply, and smart city construction.
Details as follows:
Agricultural irrigation: no mechanical transmission parts. No flow blocking elements. Ultrasonic water meter measurement is almost unaffected by water quality. It can adapt to the poor water quality of agricultural irrigation and is the most suitable product for the measurement of agricultural irrigation water.
Smart city: no pressure loss, reduce the energy consumption of the pump, and achieve the goal of energy saving. The communication interface is complete. It is convenient for network remote monitoring and reflects intelligence. Battery powered, no mechanical transmission parts, long service life.
Urban water supply: The initial flow of the ultrasonic water meter is low, which avoids the unmeasured small flow and increases the water fee income. The high measurement accuracy makes the accurate measurement of water bills a reliable guarantee. Wide range ratio, suitable for various users with different water consumption.
Township water supply: adapt to various domestic water quality conditions. The communication network is convenient, the output signal is many, and it is convenient for automatic settlement and computer management. Realize centralized management of water resources and improve management efficiency. Remote monitoring, reducing management costs.
There are many advantages of using the ULTRASONIC flow meters which include:
The electronics in the ultrasonic flow meter includes ultrasonic flowmeter detector which compensates and adapts to the changes in the profile of the flow, type of the liquid and material of the pipe.
A portableultrasonic flow meter converter can be used as a direct method to determine the flow rates effectively when compared to the other flow systems.

A new type of water meter designed for agricultural irrigation, garden management, and water pipe monitoring of water resources. The thickness of the water meter is only 50mm to save installation space.
Because the ultrasonic signal is superimposed with the water flow signal. Make the sound waves travel at different speeds in the forward and reverse flow. Therefore, the ultrasonic signals emitted by different transducers have different running times in water. By measuring the difference in time, the flow rate of the fluid can be calculated. And then converted into flow, so as to achieve flow measurement.
There are two transducers on top of the flow tube. Transducer A transmits an ultrasonic signal (downstream) to transducer B. At the same time, the B transducer transmits an ultrasonic signal (countercurrent) to the A transducer. A certain time difference is formed in the transmission process of the ultrasonic signals in the upstream and downstream.

It is one of the rapidly developing types of flow meters.
Transit Time Ultrasonic Flow Meter adopts the measurement principle of the time difference method. It uses the ultrasonic wave emitted by the sensor to propagate in the flowing fluid. The sound wave propagation speed in the downstream direction will increase, and the backward direction will decrease. In the same propagation distance, there will be different transmission times. According to the difference between the transmission time and the measured The relationship between fluid velocity measures the fluid velocity.
The flow rate of the fluid is different in different positions in the tube. The flow rate in the center of the tube is faster than the flow rate near the wall of the tube. The flow velocity distribution of the fluid in the pipeline can be represented by the flow velocity cross-sectional distribution diagram.
By setting the flowmeter and considering the cross-sectional distribution of the flow velocity, the average flow velocity can be calculated. Then the volume flow of the fluid can be obtained according to the cross-sectional area of the pipe.
