Description
The measuring system uses a measurement method based on the transit time difference. In this measurement method, acoustic signals (ultrasonic) are transmitted between two sensors. Signal transmission is bidirectional, i.e. the sensor operates as both a sound transmitter and a sound receiver.
As the speed of propagation of the sound waves is slower against the flow direction than in the flow direction, this results in a transit time difference. This transit time difference is directly proportional to the flow velocity.
The measuring system calculates the volume flow of the medium from the measured transit time difference and the pipe cross-sectional area. The sound velocity of the medium is simultaneously measured along with the transit time difference. With this additional measured variable, it is possible to differentiate between different media or monitor the medium quality.
