82. Transmitter 3 Transmitter 3 1 Measurement principle The flow of the medium is measured by ultrasonic signals using the transit time differ ence method Ultrasonic signals are emitted by a transducer installed on one side of the pipe reflected on the opposite side and finally received by a second transducer The signals are emitted alternatively in and against the flow direction As the medium in which the signals propagate is flowing their transit time in flow direc tion is shorter than against the flow direction The transit time difference At is measured allowing to determine the average flow veloc ity on the propagation path of the ultrasonic signals A flow profile correction is then per formed to obtain the area average of the flow velocity which is proportional to the volu metric flow rate The received ultrasonic signals are tested for their usefulness for the measurement and the plausibility of the measured values is evaluated The complete measuring procedure is controlled by the integrated microprocessors Disturbance signals are eliminated AWA lt MIN KANM UN id Fig 3 1 Path of the ultrasonic signal t t t gt Fig 3 2 Transit time difference At 3 2 Serial number The type and the serial number are shown on the nameplate of the transmitter When con tacting FLEXIM always have both numbers and the number of the firmware version at hand see section 15 5 12 UMFLUXUS_F6V4 0EN 2010 05
