  • Page 11: Applications

    INTRODUCTION Applications The Thermo Scientific Sarasota 2000 is a velocity x area open channel flowmeter which uses the ultrasonic “time of flight”, also known as the “transit time” method. Unlike traditional methods of open channel flow measurement which use weirs or flumes, the transit time method creates no obstruction and assumes no relation between level and flow.

  • Page 12: Principle Of Operation

    Sarasota 2000 Ultrasonic Multipath Flowmeter INTRODUCTION Principle of operation 1.2.1 The Standard The Sarasota USMP is a velocity x area open channel flowmeter which uses the ultrasonic “time of flight” method. This is also known as the “transit time” method. It complies with the International Standard ISO 6416.

  • Page 13: Flow Determination

    Sarasota 2000 Ultrasonic Multipath Flowmeter INTRODUCTION The mean water velocity at the height of each path is determined from these timing measurements, based on pre-determined geometrical measurements (length of the path and the angle to the flow direction). Transducer A θ...

  • Page 14: Mid Section Method

    Sarasota 2000 Ultrasonic Multipath Flowmeter INTRODUCTION 1.2.5.1 Mid section method In the mid section method, the slice boundaries are defined by lines mid way between the paths. The slice velocity is taken as that determined by the path within the slice and the slice area as the product of the slice height and the (average) width.

  • Page 15: Mean Section Method

    Sarasota 2000 Ultrasonic Multipath Flowmeter INTRODUCTION 1.2.5.2 Mean section method In the mean section method, the slice boundaries are defined by the path heights themselves. The slice velocity is taken as the mean of the upper and lower paths which define the slice boundaries.

  • Page 16: Path Configurations

    This method saves cable but increases path lengths and is very sensitive to misalignment. The Sarasota 2000 flowmeter is capable of being configured for these and many other situations. Please consult Thermo Fisher Scientific for examples and advice.

  • Page 31 The BCD connector also provides the means of connection to the two-phase outputs direct from a shaft encoder as an optional means of depth input. The Sarasota 2000 flowmeter will count the pulses up and down to track the depth changes. It is necessary to set the pulse scale, i.e.
  • Page 32 Sarasota 2000 Ultrasonic Multipath Flowmeter SYSTEM COMPONENTS 2.3.3.3 Relay (Volt free contact) card The relay card consists of 4 programmable relays and a fault relay with both normally open and normally closed contacts. The connections are accessible by removing the cover plate on the side of the plinth.

  • Page 33: Ultrasonic Transducers

    The transducers for the Sarasota 2000 are “smart”, with local circuits for the drive voltage (HT) generation and the receiver amplifier built in to minimise losses and optimise signal-to- noise ratio.

  • Page 34: Maximum Cable Lengths

    Sarasota 2000 Ultrasonic Multipath Flowmeter SYSTEM COMPONENTS The 500 kHz transducers have the HT and signal amplifiers built in. They are connected directly to the flowmeter or via star boxes. If ultrasonic depth transducer(s) are being used, it is usual to use 500 kHz frequency when that frequency is being used for water velocity measurement.

    Sarasota 2000 Ultrasonic Multipath CALIBRATION/ Flowmeter VERIFICATION CALIBRATION/VERIFICATION Flowmeters of this type do not normally require calibration. Exceptions are where there are significant unmeasured areas, for example, behind transducers, or where local conditions might create atypical velocity profiles and a small number of velocity paths are deployed.

  • Page 47: Channel Maintenance

    Sarasota 2000 Ultrasonic Multipath Flowmeter MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE There is little maintenance as such relating to the flowmeter itself. However, the river or channel must be kept free of weed, silt and other obstructions to avoid interruption of the ultrasonic paths or changing the cross section area which would affect the accuracy of flow determination.

  • Page 48: Routine Checks

    Sarasota 2000 Ultrasonic Multipath Flowmeter MAINTENANCE Routine checks 7.3.1 Remote Remote checks of operation of all velocity paths and depths are easily carried out via GAFA. It is recommended that a monthly routine should be set up to handle this.
