What Is Ultrasonic Flow Meter And Its Basic Working Principle

To check the volumetric flow of fluid (number of gallons/ litre per unit time such as minutes) we use Ultrasonic flow meters. Ultrasonic meters demand some basic physical understanding to measure flow rate very accurately over a wide range of flow meters.

Can Flow Meters used for measuring in the Oil & Gas Industry?

Inline ultrasonic flow meters have become quite common in the oil and gas industry this is because ultrasonic flow meter provides distinct benefits compared to traditional flow measurement technologies.

First of all, because the ultrasonic transit time principle is versatile and does not depend on the type of fluid, liquid or gas conductive or non-conductive, high or low temperature when used it is not limited to or pre-set to a predefined narrow flow range or density. The benefits can be different between applications for example in a pipeline application lack of pressure loss saves pumping energy and the full bore line size flow tube allows passing of a pick. For pipe cleaning not being limited to the diameter range also allows reduction of parallel metering runs simplifying a measurement setup. Kevitits is an Ultrasonic Flow Meter Supplier in Dubai that provides a full range of Ultrasonic Flow Meters for the oil and gas sector for cryogenic liquids and high temperature liquids. For low and high viscosities, for process applications, and high accuracy applications for custody transfer, also for gas measurements can be done both at high and low temperatures.

Ultrasonic Flow Meter-working principle

There are varieties of process flow meters, they are:

1.       Coriolis Mass Flow Meter

2.       Positive Displacement Mass Flow Meter (turbine meters /volumetric flow meter)

3.       Ultrasonic Flow Meter

4.       Turbine Flow Meter

In fact a Water Meter Supplier In Dubai can supply with at least eighteen types of flow meters.

Physical Principle

Generally, when fluid flows through a pipe it flows in a unidirectional level at a velocity that is monitored by different factors (size of the pipe, force of the pressure, temperature and viscosity). When the pressure in the pipe rises and from that points downstream the flow of velocity rises higher.

There is an increases flow as soon as the temperature rises while other factors remain constant. Some fluids will be crystal clear, some murky with some bubbles and particles while some will contain heavy oil particles which doesn’t move freely like water.

Where are Ultrasonic flow meters commonly applied?

Ultrasonic flow meters are commonly used in areas which demand high pressures liquid such as natural gas pipelines. To maintain more accuracy different types of chords are used for these types of applications, Ultrasonic flow meters are also popular for measuring the flow of water in the sewer system; where the flow meters are mounted outside to check the flow of liquid.
