  • Page 7: Introduction

    ALTOSONIC Introduction UFM 600 T System Description The Altosonic UFM 600 T is an ultrasonic flowmeter which can easily be clamped on existing pipelines with inner diameters between 50 mm and 3000 mm (2" to 120") and pipe wall thicknesses up to 40 mm. Measurement is performed obstructionless, without changing the existing pipework and without any headloss.

  • Page 9: Measuring Principle

    ALTOSONIC System Description UFM 600 T Measuring Principle Fig. B.1 : Measuring principle A sound wave that is sent in the direction of the flow through a medium will travel faster than one that is sent in the oppo- site direction. This principle is used in the ultrasonic transit time flowmeter.

  • Page 11: Measuring System

    ALTOSONIC System Description UFM 600 T Measuring System A microprocessor controls the transducers via an analog/ digital interface and calculates the actual flow. The control program is stored in EPROM memory. Parameters for the application and processing the data are entered via the keyboard.

  • Page 21: Operation

    ALTOSONIC Operation UFM 600 T Initial Set-Up The main steps of the installation procedure of the flowmeter are: 1 Install the mounting rails on the pipe. 2 Program the application parameters through the Start Up Menu, up to the point where the microprocessor calculates the transducer distance.

  • Page 22: Installation Of Mounting Rails

    C.1.1 Installation of mounting rails Mounting Considerations: The pipe section on which the transducers will be clamped must always be completely filled with liquid, even if there is no flow. The transducers can be fitted on both horizontal and vertical pipe sections (or any other elevation).

  • Page 23: Fig. C.1 : Mounting Rail

    ALTOSONIC Operation UFM 600 T Mounting Procedure: a Severe rust or thick coatings have to be removed from the pipe where the transducers will be installed. b Slide the securing straps through the slots on both ends of each mounting rail (see fig. C.1). Fig.

  • Page 24: Fig. C.3 : Mounting Positions

    d Use the supplied tape measure to ensure that the rails are fitted diametrically opposite each other (see fig. C.3-1a. ). Distance A1 must equal distance A2. Secure the rails by tightening the straps. Mounting position if calculated transducer distance does not exceed 350 mm (14") Mounting position if calculated transducer distance is between 350 mm (14") and 700 mm (28")
