Operation:
Kaijo’s Ultrasonic Liquid Flow Meter operates using advanced ultrasonic technology. When ultrasonic waves are transmitted through a liquid flowing inside a pipeline, the propagation velocity varies according to the velocity of the flowing liquid. Utilizing this principle, the flow meter measures the velocity of the liquid flowing inside a pipeline and converts it into a flow rate, which is output as an electrical signal. This allows for the precise measurement of liquid flow without making physical contact with the fluid. This non-invasive approach ensures accurate readings while preserving the integrity of the liquid being measured. It’s particularly beneficial when the fluid cannot be contaminated, or traditional metering methods are impractical. This technology is ideal for a wide range of industrial applications due to its reliability, precision, and ease of integration into existing systems.
Kaijo’s ultrasonic flow meter systems are available in three configurations. The UFM-TR100 flow meter converter has a display and uses a digital cross-correction measurement method with a semi-clamp on the sensor. Another option is the UFMe-TR100 embedded flow meter converter that also uses a digital cross-correction measurement method with a semi-clamp on the sensor. The UFM-TR1000 flow meter converter has a display and uses an ultrasonic transit time measurement method with a clamp-on sensor.
