Liquid flow ultrasonic transmitter
The AquaTrans AT600 liquid flow ultrasonic transmitter combines state-of-the-art flow measurement capability with a low-cost transmitter package that can be installed right at the process measurement point. It’s designed specifically for water and wastewater applications in full pipes. The all digital AquaTrans AT600 has no moving parts and requires minimal maintenance. An onboard microprocessor uses patented correlation transit-time™ technology for long-term, drift-free operation. Automatic adjustment to changing fluid properties and dynamically configured operating software simplify programming. Transit-time flow measurement In this method, two transducers serve as both ultrasonic signal generators and receivers. They are in acoustic communication with each other, meaning the second transducer can receive ultrasonic signals transmitted by the first transducer and vice versa. In operation, each transducer functions as a transmitter, generating a specified number of acoustic pulses, and then as a receiver for an identical number of pulses. The time interval between transmission and reception of the ultrasonic signals is measured in both directions. When the liquid in the pipe is not flowing, the transit-time downstream equals the transit-time upstream. When the liquid is flowing, the transittime downstream is less than the transit-time upstream. The difference between the downstream and upstream transit times is proportional to the velocity of the flowing liquid, and its sign indicates the direction of flow.
