1.53814 liquid ultrasonic meter design
The Daniel 3814 Liquid Ultrasonic Flow Meter is a four-path (eight transducers) in-line meter
designed to measure 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
paths provide an optimum solution for measuring asymmetric flow. The Daniel 3814 Liquid
Ultrasonic Flow Meter utilizes four 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.

combination of an explosion-proof Transmitter Electronics Enclosure that houses the CPU
Module, Power Supply board, I.S. Barrier board, Backplane board and optional LCD Display

FLUID CONTENTS MAY BE HAZARDOUS
The meter must be fully depressurized and drained before attempting to remove the transducer
housing. If fluid begins to leak from the transducer housing, immediately reinstall it.
Failure to do so may cause serious injury or equipment damage.
ESCAPING FLUIDS HAZARD
The purchaser of the meter is responsible for the selection of Daniel components/seals and materials
compatible with the chemical properties of the measurement fluid.
Failure to select suitable meter components/seals may cause escaping fluids, resulting in injury or equipment
damage.
