2.2 WORKING PRINCIPLE
The SGM-101F is composed by a digital converter and two clamp-on or insertion type ultrasonic transducers.
The instrument calculates the instantaneous flow rate value by measuring the flight time difference of the ultrasonic pulses.
- Compact system for conductive and non-conductive fluids, even with the suspended material presence (<10g/l; <Ø1mm)
- Measuring ranges from <0,2m3/h to >30000m3/h
- Applicable to various pipes materials (eg. SS316, copper, plastic, etc.), with or without an inner lining.
- Power supply 24Vac; 115Vac; 230Vac.
The meter is designed to measure the fluid velocity inside a pipe.
The clamp-on transducers models allow an easy installation.
The transit time flow meter uses two ultrasonic transducers that work as transmitters and receivers.
They are installed externally to the pipe at a specific distance from each other.
They can be installed at V mode (2 sonic section), at W mode (4 sonic section) or at Z mode (1 sonic section).
The installation method choice depends on the pipe and the fluid characteristics.
The SGM-101F measures the transit time via the two transducers that alternatively transmit and receive a sound pulses
sequence.
The difference in the measured transit time is directly related to the fluid velocity in the pipe.
θ= sonic section angle
D = pipe internal diameter
T1 = sound transit time from the upstream transducer to the transducer downstream
T2 = sound transit time from the downstream transducer to the transducer upstream
∆T = T2-T1
