Working Principle of Doppler Flow Meter- Clamp On
The flow velocity measurement of the Doppler ultrasonic flowmeter is based on the Doppler effect. The probe emits a beam of ultrasonic waves obliquely upward. The ultrasonic wave propagates in the fluid. The fluid will contain impurities such as bubbles or particles (it can be considered that the impurities in the fluid are consistent with the speed of the water flow). When the ultrasonic wave contacts the impurities in the fluid, the reflected ultrasonic wave will produce a Doppler frequency shift △f; the Doppler frequency shift is proportional to the flow velocity. By measuring the Doppler frequency shift △f, the flow velocity of the fluid can be measured.
Order Guide of Doppler Flow Meter
- Pipe wall thickness, outer diameter, and medium
- Whether the flow in the pipe contains impurities
- Measure the temperature of the medium
- Select the model reasonably according to the actual situation of the user and the measurement needs
- Consider the calibration cycle, spare parts cost and power consumption
- Choose a model that supports fieldbus or wireless transmission
- Consider imported brands or domestic brands
- Consider external clamp type, plug-in type or pipe segment type
