Nowadays, Ultrasonic flowmeter has gradually replaced traditional turbine flowmeter, differential-pressure DP flowmeter, electromagnetic flowmeter and other flow meters.
From different perspectives, it can be known that ultrasonic flowmeter has the following advantages in practice.
1. The installation and maintenance of clamp on ultrasonic flowmeter in practice is more convenient and faster for user compared with other types flowmeter.
Ultrasonic flowmeter has obvious advantages for flow measurement in large diameter pipe, it can save a lot of man power and logistics costs.
In recent years, ultrasonic flow meters are applied to various research fields, it doesn’t require cut off the flow on the official road or carry out tedious steps such as drilling.
2. Ultrasonic flowmeter can measure a wide range of pipe diameter. for our flow meter, it can measure the max. diameter pipe as 5000mm, which is the outstanding advantage of ultrasonic flowmeter; Other type flow meters don’t measure very large diameter pipe, when the measured pipe diameter is out of their measurement range, flowmeter may be limited by various external factors and difficult to meet the specific measurement requirements. In this time, user can choose to use ultrasonic flowmeter to solve these problems, and can measure any pipe diameter. In addition, the pipe diameter range does not affect the price of ultrasonic flowmeters, while the price of other flowmeters often changes with the size range of the pipe.
3. In common, the reliability of ultrasonic flowmeter for measurement is very high, whether insertion installation or external clamp-on installation of ultrasonic flowmeter will not affect the flow measurement in fluid, there is no pressure loss;
4. The measurement of Ultrasonic flowmeter will often not be affected by the physical properties of the fluid, such as conductivity, etc. In addition, ultrasonic flowmeter measurement values can be automatically displayed by some communications, such as RS232, RS485 modbus and can connect your computer to view it .
However, there are some shortcomings for ultrasonic flowmeter.
1. The installation for ultrasonic flowmeter sensor has a certain impact on the accuracy of measurement results, so the sensor installation has strict requirements;
2. Relatively speacking, ultrasonic flow meter’s accuracy is lower than other type flow meter, like magnetic flow meter.
