MU801 Plus Multi-channel Ultrasonic Flow Meter With Insertion Transducer
▍Introduction
In the field of liquid measurement, ultrasonic flow meter is a non-contact measuring instrument with high accuracy. Among them, the two commonly-used types are multi-channel ultrasonic flow meters and single-channel ultrasonic flow meters. Obviously, MU801 Plus from Flo-Instruments is a such multi-channel ultrasonic flow meter.
MU801 Plus is an ultrasonic flowmeter based on transit-time schematic design. The multi-channel ultrasonic flow meter uses the combination of multi pairs of transducers, which are installed on both sides of the pipe to form multi sound channel paths. Flow velocity and flow rate are calculated by measuring the time difference in ultrasound propagation along the multi acoustic channel paths. Therefore, the multi-channel ultrasonic flow meter has higher measurement accuracy and stability.
The multi-channel ultrasonic flow meter is suitable for situations with a wide pipe size range, such as large pipe diameters, high flow rates, high viscosity, etc. Since the multi-channel ultrasonic flow meter uses multi-channel paths, the error can be reduced and the measurement accuracy can be improved. In addition, the multi-channel ultrasonic flow meter also has better signal processing capabilities and can resist noise interference.
◆ Features
High-accuracy measurement: Multi-channel ultrasonic flowmeter uses multiple pairs of ultrasonic sensors, which can simultaneously obtain flow rate information at multiple points in the pipeline section. By averaging or fiting these points, the more accurate average flow rate can be obtained. This minimizes errors and compensates for variations in flow conditions, ensuring more reliable results. |
|
Wide range of applications: Multi-channel ultrasonic flow meters can be applied in a variety of pipe diameters and fluid types, including regular water, pure water, cooling/hot water, diesel oil, peanut oil, alcohol etc. At the same time, because of its non-contact measurement method, it is suitable for various corrosive, viscous, dirty and other complex liquids. |
|
High-efficiency measurement: Multi-channel ultrasonic flowmeter can complete the flow velocity measurement of the pipeline cross-section in a short time, including turbulent or non-uniform flow conditions, so it can provide higher measurement efficiency, especially beneficial for the measurement of large-diameter pipes and large-flow fluids. |
|
High fault tolerance: The presence of multiple channels provides higher fault tolerance, ensuring that the meter remains operational even if one channel is compromised. This enhances fault tolerance and overall system reliability. |
|
Easy to install: Multi-channel ultrasonic flowmeter requires sensors to be installed on both sides of the pipeline, but does not require any modification or insertion of any measuring components inside the pipeline, so installation is relatively easy. |
|
High cost performance: Compared with the single channel ultrasonic flowmeters, multi-channel ultrasonic flowmeters require more ultrasonic transducers and more complex signal processing technology so as to bring more stable and accurate measurement. |
|
Visiable Display Interface: Each parameter interface containes both various flow data and parameter details. Colorful digital display screen makes every data reach optimal visual effects. In addition, the clear and obvious operation interface allow users to master and operate it more proficiently so as to input related data more fastly and accurately. |
