  • Page 7: Introduction

    Welcome to BE6200 series ultrasonic flow meter. Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before installation and operation. BE6200 ultrasonic flow meter is a time-difference type ultrasonic flow meter, whose transducers are mounted by being clamped to the external surface of a pipe. It measures clean, well-distributed flows of liquids in which the content of suspended particles is minimal.

  • Page 8: Operation Principles

    In industrial sites, the liquids may contain a certain level of impurities and flow conditions are often not very uniform, thereby negatively affecting the performance of the ultrasonic flow meters. But our BE6200 ultrasonic flow meter adopts the most advanced direct time measuring method that considers the influence of temperature and crude inside pipe situation in order to increase the accuracy and the reliability of the result.
