Abstract
The invention concerns a method for measuring the rate of flow of a fluid from two ultrasonic signals consecutively transmitted in mutually opposite directions between two transducers. This method consists in: forming n clock signals CKi, i = 1 to n, mutually dephased by 2 pi /n; locating and memorising the first clock signal, called CLS, that is produced immediately after the occurrence of a characteristic part of the first ultrasonic signal received SIG1; determining the time t1 corresponding to the sum over a whole number m of consecutive periods of each of the time lapses between the occurrence of the characteristic part of each of the m periods and the occurrence of the CLS signal which follows, similarly, for the signal received from the opposite direction SIG2, determining the time t2 corresponding to the sum over m consecutive periods of each of the time lapses between the occurrence of the characteristic part of each period and the occurrence of the CLS signal which follows; forming the difference |t2-t1| and deducing therefrom the rate of flow.
