The Daniel 3812 Liquid Ultrasonic Flow Meter is a two-path (four transducers) in-line meter
designed to me
asure the difference in signal transit time with and against the flow across one or
more measurement path(s). A signal transmitted in the flow direction travels faster than one
transmitted against the flow direction. Each measurement path is defined by a transducer pair
in which each transducer alternately acts as transmitter and receiver. The meter uses transit
time measurements and transducer location information to calculate the mean velocity.
Computer simulations of various velocity profiles demonstrate that multiple measurement
ths provide an op
pa
timum solution for measuring asymmetric flow. The Daniel 3812 Liquid
Ultrasonic Flow Meter utilizes two cross-bore, parallel-plane measurement paths, offers a high
degree of repeatability, bi-directional measurement and superior low-flow capabilities without
the compromises associated with conventional technologies.

The Daniel 3812 Liquid Ultrasonic Flow Meter’s U.L
