Function

Measurement Principle

In order to measure the flow of a medium in a pipe, ultrasonic signals are used, employing the transit time dif-ference principle. Ultrasonic signals are emitted by a transducer installed on the pipe and received by a sec-ond transducer. These signals are emitted alternately in the flow direction and against it.

As the medium in which the signals propagate is flowing, the transit time of the ultrasonic signals in the flowdirection is shorter than against the flow direction.

The transit time difference, ∆t, is measured and allows the flowmeter to determine the average flow velocityalong the propagation path of the ultrasonic signals. A flow profile correction is then performed in order to ob-tain the area averaged flow velocity, which is proportional to the volumetric flow rate.

Two integrated microprocessors control the entire measuring process. This allows the flowmeter to removedisturbance signals, and to check each received ultrasonic wave for its validity which reduces noise.

Calculation of Volumetric Flow Rate

= kRe . A . ka . ∆t/(2 . tfl)

Number of Sound Paths

The number of sound paths is the number of transits of the ultrasonic signal through the medium in the pipe.Depending on the number of sound paths, the following methods of installation exist:

• reflect arrangementThe number of sound paths is even. Both of the transducers are mounted on the same side of the pipe. Correct positioning of the transducers is easier.

• diagonal arrangementThe number of sound paths is odd. Both of the transducers are mounted on opposite sides of the pipe.

• direct modeDiagonal mode with 1 sound path. This should be used in the case of a high signal attenuation by the medi-um, pipe or coatings.

The preferred method of installation depends on the application. While increasing the number of sound pathsincreases the accuracy of the measurement, signal attenuation increases as well. The optimum number ofsound paths for the parameters of the application will be determined automatically by the transmitter.

As the transducers can be mounted with the transducer mounting fixture in reflect arrangement or diagonal ar-rangement, the number of sound paths can be adjusted optimally for the application..

a = transducer distance

Reflect arrangement, number of sound paths: 2

Diagonal arrangement, number of sound paths: 3

Typical Measurement Setup

Standard Volumetric Flow Rate

The standard volumetric flow rate can be selected as physical quantity to be measured. It will be calculated in-ternally by:

N = . p/pN . TN/T . 1/K

where

The operational pressure p and the operational temperature T of the medium will be entered directly as fixedvalues into the transmitter.

or:

If inputs are installed (optional), pressure and temperature can be measured by the customer and fed in thetransmitter.

The gas compressibility coefficient K of the gas is entered in the transmitter:

• as fixed value or

• as approximation according to e.g. AGA8 or GERG

Example of a measurement setup in reflect arrangement with connection of the inputsto an external process pressure and process temperature measurement for standard volumetric flow rate calculation

N = standard volumetric flow rate= operating volumetric flow rate

pN = standard pressure (absolute value)p = operating pressure (absolute value)TN = standard temperature in KT = operating temperature in KK = compressibility coefficient of the gas: ratio of the compressibility factors of the gas at operating

Transducer Selection

Step 1a

Select a Lamb wave transducer:

Step 1b

If the pipe wall thickness is not in the range of the Lamb wave transducers, select a shear wave transducer:

Step 2

inner pipe diameter d dependent on the flow velocity v of the medium in the pipe

The transducers are selected from the characteristics (see next page). Lamb wave transducers are selectedfrom the left column, shear wave transducers from the right column.

Lamb wave transducers: If the values d and v are not in the range, the diagonal arrangement with 1 soundpath may be used, i.e. the same characteristics can be used with doubling the inner pipe diameter. If the val-ues are still not in the range, shear waves transducers regarding the pipe wall thickness have to be selectedin step 1b.
