What types of ultrasonic flowmeters are there?

Ultrasonic flowmeter is an instrument that uses ultrasonic technology to measure fluid flow. It has the advantages of non-contact, no pollution, high precision and high reliability, and is widely used in industry, environmental protection, water conservancy, petroleum, chemical industry and other fields. According to different application scenarios and measurement requirements, ultrasonic flowmeters can be divided into the following types:

1. Traditional ultrasonic flowmeter: The traditional ultrasonic flowmeter adopts the principle of single channel measurement, and calculates the velocity and flow through the propagation time difference of ultrasonic waves between the transmitter and the receiver. Suitable for general liquid flow measurement, such as tap water, sewage, petroleum, chemical industry and so on.

2. Multi-channel ultrasonic flowmeter: Multi-channel ultrasonic flowmeter adopts multi-channel measurement principle, which can measure the flow of multiple pipelines at the same time, and is suitable for parallel flow measurement of multiple pipelines, such as heating stations and water pump houses.

3. Portable ultrasonic flowmeter: Portable ultrasonic flowmeter has the characteristics of small volume, light weight and simple operation, and is suitable for field flow measurement and detection, such as water conservancy, environmental protection, petroleum and other fields.

4. Gas ultrasonic flowmeter: The gas ultrasonic flowmeter adopts the principle of sound velocity difference or Doppler effect, and is suitable for gas flow measurement such as natural gas, gas and air.

5. Liquid-gas dual-purpose ultrasonic flowmeter: Liquid-gas dual-purpose ultrasonic flowmeter can measure the flow of liquid and gas at the same time, which is suitable for petroleum, chemical industry, environmental protection and other fields.

In a word, there are many kinds of ultrasonic flowmeters, which are widely used, and can meet the demand of flow measurement in different fields and different scenes.
