Classification and selection of ultrasonic flow meter

There are still many types of ultrasonic flow meters. Let's analyze what kind of environment each flowmeter is suitable for according to different usage conditions.


1. Classification of ultrasonic flow meters


Ultrasonic flowmeter is composed of ultrasonic transducer, electronic circuit, flow display and accumulation system. The transducer generates ultrasonic output under the action of electrical signals, and can convert the received ultrasonic signals into electrical signals.


According to the installation method, the protable ultrasonic flow meter can be divided into four types: external clip type, internal stick type, plug-in type and portable type. The transducer of the external clip-on ultrasonic flowmeter is fixed outside the pipeline with a special couplant, and the pipeline is not damaged during installation, and the propagation path of the sound wave passes through the pipeline wall; for the internal-mounted ultrasonic flowmeter, the transducer is welded and bolted. It is fixed on the inner wall of the flow channel in other ways; the plug-in ultrasonic flow meter uses a special drilling device to make holes in the pipeline under test, and the flowmeter probe is inserted and installed from the outside of the flow channel through the drilling hole, which solves the problem of the external clamp ultrasonic flow meter. When measuring thick scaled pipes, it is difficult to receive signals and measure signal attenuation for a long time; portable ultrasonic flow meters are suitable for mobile measurement and are often used for flow calibration.


According to the type of channel structure, ultrasonic flowmeters can be divided into two types: single-channel ultrasonic flowmeters and multi-channel ultrasonic flowmeters. The monophonic ultrasonic flow meter is to install a pair of transducers on the measured flow channel to form an ultrasonic channel. The multi-channel ultrasonic flowmeter is to install multiple pairs of transducers on the flow channel to form multiple ultrasonic channels, and the results of each channel are combined to obtain the flow rate.


2. Selection of ultrasonic flow meter


For the measurement of flow in small and medium-diameter pipes and channels that do not require high measurement accuracy, a single-channel ultrasonic flowmeter is generally used; for the measurement of flow in large-diameter pipes and pipes with complex flow distribution, multi-channel ultrasonic flowmeters are generally used. flowmeter. Multi-channel ultrasonic flowmeters are generally used when ultrasonic flowmeters are used in hydropower stations to measure turbine flow.


In the hydropower station, when measuring the flow rate of the unit passing through the machine and the total flow of the power station, it is advisable to use the internal sticking type or the external plugging type ultrasonic flowmeter. The diameter of the penstock in front of the volute of the hydro-generator unit of the hydropower station is generally larger. For the low cost ultrasonic flow meter arranged on the penstock, if the installation position is in the buried part of the penstock (non-exposed flow channel), the ultrasonic flowmeter adopts the inner sticker. The transducer and cable pipe are clamped on the inner wall of the penstock and fixed by welding; if the installation position is in the open pipe part of the penstock (exposed flow channel), it can be combined with factors such as the diameter of the penstock, accuracy requirements, and installation conditions. Consider plug-in or in-line ultrasonic flow meters. In order to facilitate installation, D should be at least 1.6m when using an internal stick ultrasonic flowmeter, and at least 0.8m when using an external plug-in ultrasonic flowmeter.

How to choose a five-star hotel mattress suitable for healthy sleep?

When working outside on a business trip, the hotel is our homestay and residence, so how much do you know about the mattress es used in the hotel? How to choose a five-star hotel mattress suitable for healthy sleep? How to choose a five-star hotel mattress ? The hotel will set up different types of rooms according to different needs and uses of guests. The room classification standards of hotels in different regions, different levels, different types, and different brands are not uniform. There are single rooms, standard rooms, double rooms, suite rooms, apartment rooms, and presidential suites. In addition, some characteristic hotels have characteristic rooms. There are two ways to choose a hotel room mattress :  First, look at the elasticity of the mattress. In order to identify whether the mattress has good elasticity, you can use your knee to test the bed surface, or sit down in the corner of the bed and try to see if the compressed mattress will quickly return to its original shap

What Is Color Matching Booth?

What is color matching booth? Color Matching Booth is used to assess color difference under different light sources. Light booth for color matching is widely used in textiles, toys, dyeing, plastics, paints, inks, printing, pigments, chemicals, footwear, leather, cosmetics, etc. and other color industries for goods color deviation. Gester is Colour Matching Cabinet Manufacturer and supplies it in affordable price. Gester colour matching cabinet meets standard of ASTM D1729, ISO 3664 and etc. Find more color fastness tester here to complete your test! Principle: Different color would appear on test samples due to the different energy radiant of different light sources. Usually, colour matching cabinet would have TL84 light source, D65, UV, F/A, CWF, U30. More light sources like D50, U35, TL83 and etc are available. Operator may assess the color difference by switching the light sources. What lighting is best for color matching? The best "true daylight, color balanced" fluor
