Many times when we measure the flow, we often use a more convenient handheld ultrasonic flowmeter, because the handheld flowmeter has a high accuracy and belongs to the contact measuring instrument, so we should also pay attention to the operating specifications when operating, and a lot of precautions, so today, what are the precautions for using the handheld flowmeter?

When installing ultrasonic flowmeters, the requirements for the straight pipe section are very crucial. This is mainly because the straight pipe section can ensure that the fluid flow state through the flowmeter is stable and uniform, thereby improving the measurement accuracy. The following is a detailed analysis of the requirements for the straight pipe section of ultrasonic flowmeters:

Handheld ultrasonic flowmeters are commonly used tool instruments for flow detection. It is designed to enhance the convenience of flow measurement. It features high measurement accuracy, a large range ratio, no pressure loss, no moving parts, and is compact and lightweight. The flow measurement can be completed simply by installing the sensor on the outer wall of the pipeline.

Ultrasonic flowmeter is cost-effective, easy to install and maintain. Today, flowmeter manufacturer Aister meter makes the following guidance for you on the installation of ultrasonic flowmeter.

1, ultrasonic flowmeter probe used for a period of time, there will be irregular alarm. Especially when there are more impurities in the conveying medium, this problem will be more common.
Solution: Clean the probe regularly (cleaning once a year is recommended).

The reasonable selection of ultrasonic flowmeter model can ensure the more effective application of ultrasonic flowmeter. The choice of which type of ultrasonic flowmeter should be based on the physical and chemical properties of the measured medium to choose, so that the nominal diameter of the ultrasonic flowmeter, flow range, lining material, electrode material and output current can adapt to the nature of the measured medium and flow measurement requirements.

What are the common failures caused by improper installation of ultrasonic flowmeter? Today, flowmeter manufacturer Aister meter collected the fault performance and treatment methods, and it can be collected if necessary.

Ultrasonic flowmeter in the industrial automation more and more wide range of use, many owners in the purchase of ultrasonic flowmeter, will encounter some easy to ignore in the selection of parameters, in view of this phenomenon, Aister instrument to give you a few ultrasonic flowmeter selection needs some parameters.

After the fluid passes through the elbow of the ultrasonic flowmeter, the downstream flow velocity distribution is distorted. If two adjacent planar elbow pipes are distorted, in addition to the distortion of the flow velocity distribution, vortices will also occur. This phenomenon can affect the measurement values of most types of flow meters in downstream devices (except for a few types such as volumetric ones), so it is usually necessary to install a straight pipe section of a certain length before the flow meter installation point to improve the flow situation entering the meter.

In the energy sector, particularly in the oil and gas industry, ultrasonic flow meters are widely used to measure the flow rates of hydrocarbons in pipelines. These meters offer a non-intrusive solution for accurately monitoring oil and gas flows, ensuring precise measurement without the need for cutting into pipelines. The ability to operate in challenging environments, such as high-pressure pipelines, makes ultrasonic flow meters suitable for upstream and downstream applications, providing essential data for process control and optimization.

Ultrasonic flowmeters are well-suited for measuring the flow of clean liquids in a variety of industrial applications. Clean liquids, such as water, chemicals, or other non-viscous fluids, allow ultrasonic signals to propagate through the medium more effectively, resulting in accurate flow measurements. Here are some considerations for using ultrasonic flowmeters with clean liquids:

Measuring medium: single sound conducting liquid medium

The pharmaceutical and chemical industries also benefit significantly from ultrasonic flow meters. In these sectors, where precise measurement of liquid chemicals is crucial for manufacturing processes, ultrasonic flow meters offer a reliable and contamination-free solution. Their non-invasive nature is particularly advantageous when dealing with sensitive or hazardous substances, ensuring the integrity of the product while maintaining operational efficiency.

When it comes to ultrasonic flowmeters, it is essential to pay attention to the adaptability and requirements of installation. The main considerations include the installation direction of the flowmeter, the flow direction of the fluid, the configuration of upstream and downstream pipelines, the position of gate valves, protective accessories, pulse flow influence, vibration, electrical influence, and the maintenance of the flowmeter, etc.

Ultrasonic flowmeters are flowmeters that measure flow by detecting the effect of fluid movement on ultrasonic beams (or ultrasonic pulses). Ultrasonic flowmeters can all be installed outside the pipe and measure flow in a non-contact manner. Their surface cost is basically independent of the size of the pipe diameter being measured, making them excellent instruments for measuring the flow of large pipes.

When installing the ultrasonic flow meter, it is necessary to determine the installation position first, so that the ultrasonic flow can be better measured. Today, flowmeter manufacturer Aister meter mainly makes the following explanation for the probe position selection of ultrasonic flowmeter, everyone remember to collect.

Handheld ultrasonic flowmeters are widely used in industries such as water supply, heating, water conservancy, metallurgy, chemical engineering, and machinery. They can be used for production monitoring, flow comparison, temporary detection, and flow inspection, and are commonly used instruments for flow detection.

Ultrasonic flowmeter has the advantage of its working principle. In the large pipeline water flow measurement has a large proportion, today the ultrasonic flowmeter manufacturer Aister for the installation method and main points of the external clamp ultrasonic flowmeter for you to make the following explanation.

Sewage ultrasonic flowmeters are favored by many users because of their ability to measure without indirect contact with the medium. However, in the daily use of the process, some users encounter the ultrasonic flow meter display is negative, this is what is going on after all?

Advantages of ultrasonic flow meter

When the ultrasonic flowmeter shows unstable signals and inaccurate readings, many users tend to think that there is a problem with the ultrasonic flowmeter sensor. However, this is not always the case. Today, we will introduce to you the reasons why the ultrasonic flowmeter sensor is good but the flow rate is low or there is no flow rate at all.

Ultrasonic flowmeter is a non-contact flow measuring instrument, which has developed rapidly in the past 20 years and has become an indispensable flowmeter in flow measuring instruments.

Let’s first explore what water balance in a sewage treatment plant is: the balance of the total inflow and outflow of the sewage treatment plant. Nowadays, the issue of imbalance in the inflow and outflow of sewage treatment plants has increasingly drawn the attention of relevant regulatory authorities and various sewage operation companies. The imbalance between the influent and effluent water volumes is extremely severe, which is influenced by factors such as the sewage and sludge treatment process, the amount of reused water, the level of equipment, and the installation position of flow meters.

Ultrasonic flowmeters, as very important flow measurement devices in various industrial fields, have a particularly significant adverse impact on measurement accuracy due to their sensors. Different types of sensors should be selected based on the differences in application environments. Today, Aister Instruments, a flowmeter manufacturer, will provide the following explanations regarding several different sensors.
