Bestobell – Ultrasonic meter
An versatile ultrasonic meter is especially useful in harsh environments where the level, volume and open channel flow of any liquid or gas needs to be measured. The flow is measured using ultrasonic transducers. The results get slightly affected by variables such as the temperature, density or viscosity of the flowing medium. Because an ultrasonic flow meter has no moving parts maintenance is inexpensive, making the use of these devices for measurement extremely attractive in today’s challenging business environment.. With the level measurement and pipe size, flow rate and total discharge can be calculated. Ultrasonic flow meters come in three basic types, transmission (contrapropagating transit-time) flow meters, reflection (Doppler) flow meters and open-channel flow meters.
The Ultrasonic meter can be used for both fresh and waste applications, as well as in tanks where chemical solutions are present. Ultrasonic flow meters are extremely rugged, suited to the harsh environment within which they are customarily employed, most modern models can stand operating temperatures from -20°C to 60°C. Coupled with a laptop and custom software many varieties of ultrasonic flow meters can display recorded data in a graphical format, providing convenient and easy to understand representation of data. Minimum, maximum and average flow for a specified time interval can be calculated and displayed in tabular and graphical format and because most modern flow meters can save data for up to a month or record over 1000 events comparisons over time are extremely easy to represent.
Ultrasonic flow meters were first introduced for industrial use in 1963 by Tokyo Keiki of Tokyo, Japan. The company later changed its name to Tokimec. Flow meters have undergone many technological improvements in the past 10 years, and the limitations of ultrasonic meters are better understood due to the increasing numbers of industries that are using the technology
