Liquid flow ultrasonic transmitter

The AquaTrans AT600 liquid flow ultrasonic transmitter
combines state-of-the-art flow measurement capability witha low-cost transmitter package that can be installed rightat the process measurement point. It’s designed specificallyfor water and wastewater applications in full pipes. The alldigital AquaTrans AT600 has no moving parts and requires
minimal maintenance. An onboard microprocessor uses
patented correlation transit-time™ technology for long-term,
drift-free operation. Automatic adjustment to changing fluid
properties and dynamically configured operating software
simplify programming.

Easy four step installation
Step #1: Install straps onto pipe.

Step #2: Put clamp-on fixture on pipe and move straps onto
sides of fixture.

Transit-time flow measurement

In this method, two transducers serve as both ultrasonicsignal generators and receivers. They are in acoustic
communication with each other, meaning the second
transducer can receive ultrasonic signals transmitted by the
first transducer and vice versa.
In operation, each transducer functions as a transmitter,
generating a specified number of acoustic pulses, and thenas a receiver for an identical number of pulses. The timeinterval between transmission and reception of the ultrasonicsignals is measured in both directions. When the liquid in thepipe is not flowing, the transit-time downstream equals thetransit-time upstream. When the liquid is flowing, the transittime downstream is less than the transit-time upstream.
The difference between the downstream and upstream
transit times is proportional to the velocity of the flowing
liquid, and its sign indicates the direction of flow.

Step #3: Open fixture to set spacing.

Step 4: Set spacing and lock fixture with transducers
onto pipe.

Transit-time flow measurement techniqueClamp-on transducers

Clamp-on transducers offer maximum convenience,
flexibility and a low installation cost compared to traditional
flow metering technologies. With proper installation, clampon transducers provide better than 1% of reading accuracy inmost applications.

Outputs (based on configuration)

Installation assumes a fully developed, symmetrical flow
profile (typically 10 diameters upstream and 5 diameters
downstream of straight pipe run). Final installation accuracy
is a function of multiple factors including fluid, temperature
range, pipe centricity and others.
