DYNASONICS TFXP Portable Ultrasonic Flow Meter[Jan. 26, 2012 4:54:58]
Specification
The Dynasonics TFX Ultra ultrasonic flow meter is designed to measure the fluid velocity of liquid within a closed conduit. The transducers are a non-contacting, clamp-on type or clamp-around, which will provide benefits of non-fouling operation and ease of installation. Dynasonics Ultrasonic clamp-on flow meter provides reliable readings with low installation costs, no pressure head loss, no moving parts, and no fluid compatibility issues. Measures in a variety of user-configured engineering units via the keypad.
Ideal for conducting flow measurement surveys on full-pipe liquid systems and for verifying calibration of permanently mounted flow meters. Non-invasive clamp-on transducers are simple and cost efficient to install. Features a tactile keypad, 24-hour battery ( rechargeable) , 4-20 mA output, removable 200, 000-point data logger and a 64x128 pixel, back-lit graphics display integrated into a watertight enclosure. Provides an optical interface utilized with ULTRALINKTM, a software utility that allows simple in-field programming, calibration and software upgrades.
The Dynasonics portable ultrasonic flow meter, utilizing transit time technology utilize two transducers that function as both ultrasonic transmitters and receivers. The transducers are clamped on the outside of a closed pipe at a specific distance from each other. The transducers can be mounted in V-Mount where the sound transverses the pipe two times, W-Mount where the sound transverses the pipe four times, or in Z-Mount where the transducers are mounted on opposite sides of the pipe and the sound crosses the pipe once. The selection of mounting method is based on pipe and liquid characteristics which both have an effect on how much signal is generated. The flow meter operates by alternately transmitting and receiving a frequency modulated burst of sound energy between the two transducers and measuring the time interval that it takes for sound to travel between the two transducers. The difference in the time interval measured is directly related to the velocity of the liquid in the pipe.
Applications:
For portable flow measurements on virtually all non-aerated liquids in closed full pipe systems.
ultrapure liquids cooling water
potable water river water
chemical plant effluent
sewage others
reclaimed water
All TFXP flow meter systems come complete with the necessary components to measure flow rates in most piping systems. All of these parts are stored neatly in a compartmentalized and padded carrying case ( see image) .
