Description
SITRANS F US ultrasonic flowmeters measure flow in standard volumetric units. Measurement
is independent of changes in liquid temperature, density, pressure and conductivity. A time of
flight flowmeter is designed for use on single phase liquids.
They are designed for measurement of:
● Volume flow rate
● Limit monitoring
● Total volume
● Sound velocity in the media
3.1 Measuring principle
Physical principle
3
Figure 3-1 Velocity distribution along sound path
A sound wave travelling in the same direction as the liquid flow arrives at point B from point A
in a shorter time than the sound wave travelling against the direction of flow (from point B to A).
The difference in sound transit time indicates the flow velocity in the pipe.
Since delay time is measured at short intervals both in and against flow direction, temperature
has no influence on measurement accuracy.
SITRANS F US flowmeters
In SITRANS F US flowmeters the ultrasonic transducers are placed at an angle θ in relation to
the pipe axis. The transducers function as transmitters and receivers of the ultrasonic signals.
Measurement is performed by determining the time the ultrasonic signal takes to travel with and
against the flow. The principle can be expressed as follows:
v = K × (t
v = Average flow velocity

Description
3.2 Design
t = Transit time
K = Proportional flow factor
This measuring principle offers the advantage that it is independent of variations in the actual
sound velocity of the liquid, i.e. independent of the temperature.
The Proportional factor K is determined by wet calibration or calculated by "Auto" in case of
manual programming of mechanical geometrical pipe data (SONOKIT only). The transducer
angle (Θ), distance between sensors (L) and pipe dimension (Di) are shown in the figure below.
Figure 3-2 Measuring principle
The ultrasonic signal is sent directly between the transducers. The advantage gained sending
signals from point to point is an extremely good signal strength.
3.2 Design
SITRANS F US SONO 3300 with FUS060 is designed for measuring the flow velocity of liquids
in full pipes. Satisfactory function of the ultrasonic flowmeter depends on a low sound
attenuation of the medium and a well-defined and stable flow profile.
The sensor SONO 3300 with transmitter FUS060 remote mounted measures with a high
accuracy (better than ±0,5% of reading over a wide measuring range).
