Lanry TF1100 series clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters can be installed using various methods depending on the pipe configuration, flow profile, and measurement accuracy requirements. Here are the three common installation methods:
1. V-Method (Reflect Mode)
• Description: The transducers are placed on the same side of the pipe at an angle, with the ultrasonic signal reflecting off the opposite inner pipe wall before reaching the receiving transducer. V method is standard installation mode for transit time clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeter.
• Applications: Suitable for small pipes with good signal reflection properties.
Advantages:
• Easy installation.
• Requires minimal transducer alignment.
• Good accuracy for clean, homogeneous fluids.
2. Z-Method (Direct Mode)
• Description: The transducers are installed on opposite sides of the pipe, with the ultrasonic signal traveling directly through the fluid without reflection.
Applications: Recommended for larger pipe diameters or when the pipe material causes significant signal attenuation.
Advantages:
• Better signal strength for large pipes or challenging materials.
• Simple signal path, reducing errors.
3. W-Method (Double Reflect Mode)
• Description: The transducers are installed on the same side of the pipe, but the signal reflects twice within the pipe before reaching the receiving transducer.
• Applications: Used for small-diameter pipes or when the signal path needs to be lengthened for better resolution.
Advantages:
• Enhanced measurement resolution for small pipes.
• Allows better adjustment for short signal paths.
