Abstract:
A turbidity measurement device for measuring turbidity of a fluid flowing in a flow tube. A first transducer transmits ultrasonic signals through the fluid in the turbidity measurement section so as to provide a first ultrasonic standing wave between the first and second section ends. A receiver transducer receives the ultrasonic scattered response from particles in the fluid flowing through the turbidity measurement section. A control circuit operates the transducers and generates a signal indicative of the turbidity of the fluid in response to signals received from the receiver transducer. Preferably, the device may comprise a second transducer for generating a second ultrasonic standing wave with the same frequency, and further the two transducers may be used to generate a measure of flow rate by means of known ultrasonic techniques. This flow rate may be used in the calculation of a measure of turbidity. Both turbidity facilities and flow rate facilities may be integrated in a consumption meter, such as a heat meter or a water meter.

Claim (Index 13):
Device according to  claim 12 , wherein the control circuit is arranged to operate the first transducer in a first and a second operation time intervals, wherein the first and second operation time intervals are not overlapping, wherein the control circuit is arranged to operate the first transducer for measuring the turbidity of the fluid flowing in the flow tube during the first operation time interval, and wherein the control circuit is arranged to operate the first transducer for measuring the flow rate of the fluid flowing in the flow tube during the second operation time interval.
