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
Measuring range: ± 0.03ft /s~ ± 40ft /s (± 0.01m /s~ ± 12m /s)
Accuracy class: ±1%
Pipe diameter range: 1″~48″(25mm~1200mm)

The installation of the ultrasonic flowmeter is simple and convenient in the installation of all flowmeters, as long as you choose a suitable measuring point, input the pipe parameters at the measuring point into the flowmeter, and then fix the probe on the pipe. Today, flowmeter manufacturer Aister instrument makes the following analysis for you on this topic.

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?

Matters needing attention during the use of ultrasonic flowmeters

Ultrasonic flowmeter in view of different installation methods, then the requirements for installation are also different, today the flowmeter manufacturer Aister meter mainly for the installation requirements of different installation methods of ultrasonic flowmeter, for you to make the following explanation.

Ultrasonic flowmeters are widely used for measuring the flow of liquids in various industrial applications. Like any other equipment, they may experience common faults in practical applications. Some of the common fault situations with ultrasonic flowmeters include:

When the ultrasonic flowmeter experiences unstable signals and inaccurate readings during operation, many users tend to think that there is a problem with the ultrasonic flowmeter sensor. However, this is not always the case. Today, Aister Instruments, a flowmeter manufacturer, will explain to you the reasons why the ultrasonic flowmeter sensor is good but the flow rate is low or there is no flow rate fault.

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.

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?

Ultrasonic flowmeters are instruments that measure flow by detecting the effect of fluid flow on an ultrasonic beam (or ultrasonic pulse). The ultrasonic flowmeter is mainly composed of an ultrasonic transducer (or an ultrasonic flow sensor composed of a transducer and a measuring tube) and a transducer mounted on the measuring pipe.

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.

Correction methods for ultrasonic flowmeters are essential to ensure accurate and reliable measurements. Here are some specific correction methods commonly used in practice:

Ultrasonic flow meters have become integral tools across various industries due to their versatility and non-intrusive nature. One prominent application of ultrasonic flow meters is in the field of water and wastewater management. Municipalities and water treatment plants employ these meters to measure the flow rates of water in pipes without disrupting the flow itself. The non-contact nature of ultrasonic technology minimizes the risk of contamination and allows for accurate measurement, contributing to efficient water distribution and conservation efforts.

Ultrasonic flowmeters can be used to measure the flow of fluids and large pipe runoff that are not easily accessible. In practical applications, if the temperature, pressure, the nature of the medium and other conditions are different from the calibration, it is necessary to calibrate the ultrasonic flowmeter, today we talk about the calibration method.

Ultrasonic flowmeter installation, easy maintenance, cost-effective. However, no matter how good the flowmeter is, it also needs special attention in daily use. Otherwise, it will affect the measuring accuracy and service life of the flowmeter. Today, flowmeter manufacturer Aister meter mainly explains the maintenance and maintenance of ultrasonic flowmeters as follows.

Today, we mainly talk about several common fault situations of ultrasonic flowmeters and the corresponding solutions.

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.

Under the premise of fixed installation conditions, ultrasonic flowmeter improves the signal processing capacity and diagnostic capacity of the flowmeter itself, and can effectively reduce noise. Under normal circumstances, the measuring accuracy of the flowmeter is very important.

Ultrasonic flowmeter in the use of the process, encountered failures are more common, today the flowmeter manufacturer Aister meter in the form of questions and answers to make the common problems of ultrasonic flowmeter to sort out, hope to help you.

Ultrasonic flowmeter is a non-contact instrument, so it has the advantages of simple installation and maintenance, and is very popular with customers. However, because of this advantage of ultrasonic flowmeters, it is precisely after a period of use that the signal will be weak.

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.

To ensure the normal operation of ultrasonic flowmeters, property owners must choose high-quality products. When selecting ultrasonic flowmeters, property owners can judge the product quality from these aspects.

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 flowmeter installation, use and maintenance is simple and fast, but there are still some points can not be ignored, today the flowmeter manufacturer Aister meter for the maintenance of ultrasonic flowmeter points to make the following explanation.
