Ultrasonic Liquid Flow Meters
Ultrasonic liquid flow meters are advanced instruments that measure the flow rate of liquids using ultrasonic pulses. This unique feature makes them an ideal choice for measuring petroleum liquids and hydrocarbons, as they eliminate the need for moving parts inside the pipeline, thereby minimizing the risks of wear, corrosion, pressure drop, and maintenance requirements.
The operation of these meters is based on the difference in transit time of ultrasonic pulses traveling with and against the flow. This time difference is converted into fluid velocity and, ultimately, into volumetric flow rate.
Due to their high accuracy, wide flow range, and ability to operate under harsh conditions, ultrasonic flow meters are widely used in export and import terminals, pipeline transportation, and custody transfer stations. By providing reliable, uninterrupted measurements, this technology significantly contributes to process optimization and operational efficiency.
