Fixed ultrasonic flowmeter: The permanent installation of an expert for precise monitoring.
In the field of industrial flow measurement, the difference between the need for temporary diagnosis and permanent monitoring has led to different technical solutions. Corresponding to portable devices, fixed ultrasonic flowmeters, with their long-term stability, continuous accuracy, have become indispensable key equipment in process industries, municipal water supply and other fields. This article will deeply explore the technical features and application value of fixed ultrasonic flowmeters, and focus on introducing the innovative breakthroughs and successful practices of Hongqi Automation in this field.
1. Fixed-type Ultrasonic Flowmeter: A technical solution specifically designed for continuous monitoring.
The fixed ultrasonic flowmeter is a permanently installed flow measurement instrument designed based on the time difference principle. By accurately measuring the time difference of ultrasonic waves propagating in the downstream and upstream directions, the flow velocity of the fluid can be calculated. Then, combined with the cross-sectional area of the pipeline, the volumetric flow rate can be obtained. Its "fixed" design concept reflects the professional pursuit of long-term stable operation and continuous data collection.
