Page 13: General Principles
3 General principles FLUXUS F60* 3.1 Measurement principle General principles For the ultrasonic measurement of the flow rate, the flow velocity of the fluid in a pipe is determined. Further physical quantities are derived from the flow velocity and from addi- tional physical quantities, if necessary.
Page 14 3 General principles 3.1 Measurement principle FLUXUS F60* Acoustic calibration factor k  ----------- -  The acoustic calibration factor k is a transducer parameter which results from the sound speed c within the transducer and the angle of incidence. According to Snell's law of re- fraction, the angle of propagation in the adjoining fluid or pipe material is: ...
Page 15 3 General principles FLUXUS F60* 3.1 Measurement principle 3.1.2 Measurement of the flow velocity in the TransitTime mode The signals are emitted and received by two transducers alternatively in and against the flow direction. If the fluid is flowing, the signals propagating in the fluid are displaced with the flow.

Page 17 3 General principles FLUXUS F60* 3.1 Measurement principle 3.1.3 Measurement of the flow velocity in the NoiseTrek mode If the proportion of gas or solids in the fluid is high, the damping of the ultrasonic signal can be so high that the complete propagation of the fluid and therefore a measurement in TransitTime mode is not possible anymore.
Page 18 3 General principles 3.1 Measurement principle FLUXUS F60* 3.1.4 Measurement of the flow velocity in the HybridTrek mode The HybridTrek mode combines the TransitTime and the NoiseTrek mode. During a measurement in the HybridTrek mode, the transmitter automatically toggles between the TransitTime and the NoiseTrek mode depending on the gaseous or solid content.

Page 22: Acoustic Penetration
3 General principles 3.3 Acoustic penetration FLUXUS F60* Acoustic penetration The pipe has to be acoustically penetrable at the measuring point. The acoustic penetra- tion is reached when pipe and fluid do not attenuate the sound signal so strongly that it is completely absorbed before reaching the second transducer.
Page 23 3 General principles FLUXUS F60* 3.3 Acoustic penetration Vertical pipe Select the measuring point at a pipe location where the fluid flows upward. The pipe has to be completely filled, see Fig. 3.12 and Fig. 3.13. Fig. 3.12: Recommended transducer Fig.
Page 24: Undisturbed Flow Profile
3 General principles 3.4 Undisturbed flow profile FLUXUS F60* Undisturbed flow profile Some flow elements (e.g., elbows, valves, pumps, reducers) distort the flow profile in their vicinity. The axisymmetrical flow profile in the pipe needed for correct measurement is no longer given. A careful selection of the measuring point helps to reduce the impact of disturbance sources.

Page 113: Problems With The Measurement
10.1 Problems with the measurement In order to realize a recalibration under reference conditions either the transmitter, the transducers or the transmitter with transducers have to be sent to FLEXIM depending on which part needs to be calibrated. The display does not work at all or fails regularly Check the contrast setting of the transmitter or enter the HotCode 555000 to set the dis- play to medium contrast.
Page 114: Measuring Point Selection
Signal loss during the measurement • If there is no measuring signal after the pipe had been run empty and refilled, contact FLEXIM. • Wait a moment until the acoustic contact is reestablished. The measurement can be in- terrupted due to a temporarily higher proportion of gas bubbles and solids in the fluid.
Page 115: Application-Specific Problems
Measurements on pipes made of porous materials (e.g., concrete or cast iron) are only conditionally possible Contact FLEXIM. The pipe lining may cause problems during the measurement if it is not firmly attached to the inner pipe wall or consists of acoustically absorbing material Try to measure on a section of the pipe free from lining.
