Function

Measurement Principle

In order to measure the flow of a medium in a pipe, ultrasonic signals are used, employing the transit time difference principle. Ultrasonic signals are emitted by a transducer installed on the pipe and received by a second 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 flow direction is shorter than against the flow direction.

The transit time difference, ∆t, is measured and allows the flowmeter to determine the average flow velocity along the propagation path of the ultrasonic signals. A flow profile correction is then performed in order to obtain 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 remove disturbance signals, and to check each received ultrasonic wave for its validity which reduces noise.

Path of the ultrasonic signal Transit time difference ∆t

Calculation of Volumetric Flow Rate

= kRe . A . ka . ∆t/(2 . tfl)

where

= volumetric flow rate

= fluid mechanics calibration factor

A = cross-sectional pipe area k

= acoustical calibration factor

∆t = transit time difference t

= transit time in the medium

a < 0

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 arrangement

The 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 arrangement

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

• direct mode

Diagonal mode with 1 sound path. This should be used in the case of a high signal attenuation by the medium, pipe or coatings.

The preferred method of installation depends on the application. While increasing the number of sound paths increases the accuracy of the measurement, signal attenuation increases as well. The optimum number of sound 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 arrangement, 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

Direct mode, number of sound paths: 1 Direct mode, number of sound paths: 1,

Typical Measurement Setup

to an external process pressure and process temperature measurement for standard volumetric flow rate calculation

Example of a measurement setup in reflect arrangement with connection of the inputs

Standard Volumetric Flow Rate

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

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

where

= standard volumetric flow rate

= operating volumetric flow rate

= standard pressure (absolute value)

p = operating pressure (absolute value) T

= standard temperature in K

T = operating temperature in K K = compressibility coefficient of the gas

conditions and at standard conditions Z/Z

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

: ratio of the compressibility factors of the gas at operating

or:

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

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

The transducers are selected from the characteristics (see next page). Lamb wave transducers are selected from 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 sound path may be used, i.e. the same characteristics can be used with doubling the inner pipe diameter. If the values are still not in the range, shear waves transducers regarding the pipe wall thickness have to be selected in step 1b.

Damping Mats (optional)

Damping mats will be used for the gas measurement to reduce acoustic noise influences on the measurement.

Transducer damping mats will be installed below the transducers.

Pipe damping mats will be installed at reflection points, e.g. flange, weld.

Wall Thickness Measurement (optional)

The pipe wall thickness is an important pipe parameter which has to be determined exactly for a good measurement. However, the pipe wall thickness often is unknown.

The wall thickness probe can be connected to the transmitter instead of the flow transducers and the wall thickness measurement mode is activated automatically.

Acoustic coupling compound is applied to the wall thickness probe which then is placed firmly on the pipe. The wall thickness is displayed and can be stored directly in the transmitter.

Technical Data

technical type DWR1NZ7

type 2616 length ft 4

The measuring range depends on the attenuation of the ultrasonic signal in the

pipe. For strongly attenuating plastics (e.g. PFA, PTFE, PP) the measuring range is smaller.
