General information about the measuring device
The FH-SONIC is an ultrasonic flow meter for measuring the actual flowing volume of liquid products. It is based on the measurement of the runtimes of ultrasonic pulses along several measuring paths. The meter consists of the following assemblies:
One meter body with a straight pipe section with 5 ultrasonic measuring paths;
Two ultrasonic transducers per measuring path, where the two transducers both serve as transmitters and receivers;
The electronics which are separated from the meter body with the measurement electronics for excitation and processing of the transducer signals and the interface electronic.
Characteristics of the measuring instrument
In Table 1 the general characteristics of the measuring instrument are presented. The construction of the measuring instrument is recorded in the Documentation folder no. TC12652-1.
