HGUOC Ultrasonic Open Channel Flow Meter
HGUOC Ultrasonic Open channel flow meter contain main unit and sensor, connect sensor to main unit through cable. Sensor detect the liquid level in weir or flume base on the principle of sound wave reflection, then main unit use the related formula to calculate the liquid volume flow which pass weir or flume.
Ultrasonic Open channel flow meter is non-contact instrument, widely service groundwater flow monitoring system, Industrial wastewater discharge monitoring, accurately measuring open channel flow.
Product Description
Advantage:
- Non-contact measuring, sensor does not contact the measured medium, without hazard of abrasion and corrosion, long span and easy to maintain
- High accuracy, liquid level change 1mm, the volume flow will also change correspondingly
- Suitable for many weir/flume, support international and ISO version of weir/groove, such as Parshall flume, triangular weir (30°, 45°, 60°, 90°, 120°), rectangular weir(can customize weir’s width),can input formula of calculating volume flow.
- LCD display with backlight, operation language option: Chinese / English
- Can set flow unit, correct accumulated flow and set many menu item
- Simple to programming, easy to operate
- Sensor weather proof grade: IP68
- Sensor has strong anti-interference performance, low blind area, high sensitivity, the length of cable connecting sensor to main unit can reach to 1000m
- Can supply 6 relay outputs, pulse output of accumulated flow
- Can supply RS485 communication base on Modbus-RTU protocol
- Can supply corresponding manipulator for operate expediently
- Can customize solar power supply mode, wireless transmission(database server is in China)
Principle:
Ultra sensor is installed on the top of weir/flume( shown as diagram above), sensor emit a bunch of sound wave to liquid surface periodically, when this bunch of wave reach to liquid surface, it will be reflected back and received by sensor, main unit will measure the transmission time (t) of this process. The known sound wave velocity is “V”. d=V*t/2, h=H-d
For the known weir/flume, there is a certain function relationship between the volume flow and the corresponding liquid level value. That is Q= f (h). In main unit, you can set parameter value of weir/flume according to the known weir/flume, the main unit will calculate volume flow automatically during measuring process. Ultrasonic open channel flow meter firstly measures the distance from sensor to the liquid surface, then calculate the liquid level value, then calculate the volume flow. It is important for Installation and commissioning to know this flow meter’s working principle.
