FDT-21 ultrasonic flowmeter is designed to measure
the fluid velocity of liquid in a full/closed pipe. It is a
handheld measurement system which is both easy to
install and use. The FDT-21 operates according to the
difference in the transit time of flight measured, and
determines the flow velocity by measuring the travel
time of a pulse from one transducer to the next.
Flow in the same direction takes less time to travel to
the second transducer than does flow in the opposite
direction. Electroacoustic transducers receive and emit
brief ultrasonic pulses through the liquid of the pipe.
Transducers are vertically placed at both sides of the
measured pipe. Sensors are placed on the pipe and
fastened by means of a clamp. The display will quickly
show the flow velocity. The FDT-21 can be used for
metallic, plastic and rubber tubes.
