Dwyer UFB Series Ultrasonic Flow Transmitter Set utilizes the transit-time difference for measuring flow rates in pipes non-invasively. This is the permanent model, allowing the user to mount the converter on a surface or pipe.
Dwyer UFB Series Ultrasonic Flow Transmitter Set |
The easy-to-use Dwyer Ultrasonic Flow Transmitter and lightweight design is intended for mechanical devices using ideally homogeneous liquids that contain no air pockets. The Series UFB comes with a sturdy IP65 rating, protecting it from dust and direct water contact. The Series UFB has 4 to 20 mA and pulse output capabilities.
Dwyer UFB Series Features
Kit Includes:
- Converter
- Set of Transducers
- Ruled Guide Rail
- Steel Banding
- Banding Clips
- Set of Transducer Cables
- Set of High Temperature Interface Cables
- Ultrasonic Coupling Grease
Principles Of Operation
Two sensors are placed on the exterior of the pipe, and each transmits an ultrasonic pulse through the pipe and fluid to the other. The velocity of the liquid flowing through the pipes causes the pulse to accelerate or decelerate.
The difference in the transit times of the two pulses is used to calculate the flow rate. The use of transit time allows the flowmeter to be unaffected by pressure or temperature changes.
Application
- Treated Water
- River Water
- Sea Water
- Potable Water
- Demineralized Water
- Glycol/water mix
- Hydraulic System
- Diesel Oil
- Flow Rate
- Datalogging
