Page 8: Introduction
Introduction INTOODUCTION General The DFX ultrasonic flow meter is designed to measure volumetric flow of solids-bearing or aerated liquid within a closed conduit Transducers are available as non-contacting (DT9) or insertion probe (DP7) types DT9 non-contacting transducers are strapped to the outside of a pipe and are suitable for most installations where the pipe material supports the transmission of ultrasound Some pipe materials, such as concrete pressure pipe and some plastic lined pipes do not allow ultrasound to penetrate to the liquid inside For these applications, use the DP7 insertion probe The flow meter operates by transmitting an ultrasonic sound from a transmitting transducer through the pipe wall or from... -
