Ultrasonic flow meter

FHC IND. LTD

B r i e f I n t r o du c tio n
TDS-100 series ultrasonic flow meters / ultrasonic heat meters / ultrasonic industrial water meter use low-voltage and
multi - pulse transit time principle, and adopt high-accuracy and much stable detecting techniques to measure the flow.
Our products features are good stability, small zero drift, high-accuracy, wide measuring range and strong
anti-interference.

Measuring Principle
The flow meter operates by alternately transmitting and receiving a frequency modulated burst of sound energy
between the two transducers and measuring the transit time that it takes for sound to travel between the transducers.
The difference in the transit time measured is directly and exactly related to the velocity of the liquid in the pipe, as
shown flowing:
