The DMTFC wall-mount Insertion Ultrasonic Flow meter Seires provide abundant capabilities for accurate liquid flow measurement from outside of a pipe. It utilizes state-of-the-art technologies in ultrasonic transmission /receiving, digital signal processing and transit-time measurement. The proprietary signal quality tracking and self-adapting technologies allow system to optimally adapt to different pipe materials automatically.
The flow meters of the DMTFC family are carefully designed with self-explanatory interface and the operation is simple and easy. The unique clamp-on fixture design makes the installation very simple requiring no special skills or tools.
Due to hot-tapped mounting, insertion transducers produce no ultrasonic compound and coupling problem. Even though the transducers are inserted into pipe wall, they do not requier a flow enclosure, thus, do not generate disturbance or pressure drop to the flow. Comparing with clamp on flow meter, the insertion (wetted) type has the advantage of long-term stability and better accuracy.
Principle of Operation:
 
DMTF transit time flow meter utilizes 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-method in which case the ultra sound transverses the pipe twice, or W-method in which case the ultra sound transverses the pipe four times, or in Z-method in which case the transducers are mounted on opposite sides of the pipe and the ultra sound transverses the pipe only once. The selection of mounting method depends on pipe and liquid characteristics. When the flow meter works, the two transducers transmits and receives ultrasonic signal amplified by multibeam that travels firstly downstream and then upstream (Figure 1). Because  ultra sound travels faster downstream than upstream, there will be a difference of time of flight(¡÷£ô). When the flow is still, the time difference(¡÷£ô) is zero. Therefore, as long as we know the time of flight both downstream and upstream, we can work out the time difference, and then the flow velocity (V) and flow volume (Q) via the following formula.
    
V= K*D* dt            
  Where:  V: Liquid velocity
  K: Constant
  D: Distance between the two transducers
  dt: difference in time of flight
