Both measure flow by transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves in a pipe. Doppler flowmeters can measure dirty liquids, while clamp-on transit time ultrasonic flowmeters primarily measure clean liquids.Both utilize a clamp-on flow sensor to detect flow in closed pipes. ...
Both utilize a clamp-on flow sensor to detect flow in closed pipes. Clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters are a unique measurement method and are currently the dominant type. ...
Replacing a defective System......while avoiding high Costs The Challenge The customer faced a challenge with a defective MID DN2000 in an overflow channel. Replacing the system, including installation and construction work, would have been extremely costly. However, the NIVUS flow measurement solution offered a much more budget-friendly alternative, at just a fraction of the replacement ...
Innovative Flow Measurement Solution The Challenge Accurately measuring flow at a wastewater pump station with 10 integrated pipe pumps presented unique obstacles. The pumps, along with cables and mounting devices within the pipes, created hydraulic and measurement interferences. A tailored solution was essential to overcome these ...
This article will provide comprehensive guidance on selecting a liquid vortex flowmeter, helping you make a sound and appropriate choice for your specific needs.How a Vortex Flowmeter WorksA liquid vortex flowmeter measures flow by utilizing the vortex phenomenon caused by fluid flow. As the liquid flows through a sensor installed in a pipe, vortices of a certain ...
Solution: Install the sensor on both sides of the pipe. 2. The ultrasonic flowmeter sensor is installed on the pipe where the water flows downward, and the pipe is not filled with fluid. ...
Solution: Install the sensor on both sides of the pipe. 2. The ultrasonic flowmeter sensor is installed on the pipe where the water flows downward, and the pipe is not filled with fluid. ...
Magnetic flow sensors convert the velocity of a flowing fluid, waters for example, into a measurable electrical signal that is proportional to the flow rate. ...
Here are some of the key challenges faced when measuring seawater flow: Corrosion: Seawater contains a large amount of salt and other chemical components, which are highly corrosive to measurement equipment materials (such as sensors, electrodes, and pipe linings). It can damage the materials used in flow measurement equipment, and specialized ...
As shown below, the inspection of a 10,000-feet (3km) of 36-inch (913mm) diameter Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe (PCCP), gave a clean-bill-of-health with ‘NO LEAKS’ using a leading vendor’s Untethered Acoustic Ball technology. Eighteen (18) months later, separate pipe ruptures occurred. First, on June 21, 2013 (Rupture #1) causing a ...
Sensors are the backbone of any water quality monitoring system since they determine accuracy and reliability. As such, it is best to start with picking the sensor(s) when designing a new system for applications such as pollution control, saltwater ingression studies, aquaculture, process control, ...
Providing precision direct mass flow measurement, the FS10i Flow Meters require no additional pressure or temperature sensors or other components to infer flow measurement. Their sealed and no-moving parts sensor does not foul or clog, and requires no routine maintenance that ensures years of trouble-free, continuous operation. ...
Transit-time meters send ultrasound signals into the flow using transducers that are either clamped onto or inserted into the pipe at two locations. The difference between the time it takes for sound to travel upstream and downstream between the two sensors is directly proportional to flow velocity. ...
The Ability To Improve How A System Operates Starts With Understanding What’s Happening In The Environment RLE’s WIFI-TH has been used to collect T/H data to operate classroom fan coil units, while the WiNG-THRM has been connected to pipe strap sensors to provide supply and return temperature values to improve heating/cooling efficiencies. ...
“The other technology helping to make water pipes smart is narrowband internet of things (NB-IoT) communications – a means of transmitting signals from thousands of remote sensors that uses just a small slice of bandwidth to do so. It means that pipe sensors can send far more frequent updates to a central server ...
It includes an electric heater, and piping to direct the conditioned air into the throat of the engine carburetor. Intake air temperature is measured by a thermometer installed in the inlet air pipe. The octane test engine uses a temperature sensor installed in the inlet piping to provide the input signal for a temperature ...
Servelec Technologies’ and Primayer’s joint portfolio includes the following data-led leak detection tools: Enigma3hyQ comprises immersed acoustic hydrophone sensors that listen to sound waves inside a pipe to pinpoint leaks. The sensors are placed into the pipe permanently, providing greater sensitivity to leak ...

Solution CCID sought a suitable alternative to monitor flow in sub-surface, reinforced concrete pipes ranging in size from 24 to 72 inches. They found what they were looking for in the AgriFlo XCi and Doppler Insert Velocity Sensor. The sensor uses continuous-wave, advanced-spectrum Doppler to “see” velocity through the entire cross ...
A sparge nozzle was installed at the bottom of each of the basins to receive the waste gas stream, which is piped directly from the hydrogen plant. The system uses a flow-through pH sensor and pH transmitter/analyzer to control the amount of CO2 sparged. The pH sensor measures the pH of the flowing aqueous fluid, and in this case, is installed ...
Challenge In instances of clean water infiltration into sewer pipes, the source of the additional water can be tough to discern, especially in older systems that are large and susceptible to both stormwater and groundwater intrusion. This is the case in northeast Ohio, where a mix of residential and old commercial users bring in more than 5 million gallons a day for treatment ...
