Product Description

LYNSB Series Build-in Type Ultrasonic Gas Flow Meter
 

1.1Introduction
LYNSB- Ultrasonic Gas Flow Meter (hereafter call Ultrasonic Meter) is the key and newly designed product with cutting-edge technology. It can be used in process measuring and custody transfer metering in fields such as gas production of oilfields,energy, and environmental protection. Compared with traditional flowmeters,
Ultrasonic Meter with remarkable performance like low pressure, low velocity, no pressure loss, high accuracy, is becoming the most advanced and quickly developed new flowmeter.

1.2 WorkingTheory
Ultrasonic wave is sonic wave with frequency larger than 20000Hz featured with better directionality, penetration and energy concentration, which makes Ultrasonic Meter the new advance flowmeter.
Ultrasonic Meter uses theory of acoustic transit time, as in Fig 1-1:
                                                          

Transducer A (Upstream) sends ultrasonic wave that transits in the pipe and will make total reflection when it touch the smooth and high hardness pipe bottom, and then it goes to B(Downstream) transducer that will receive this wave, which make one sonic path. After B receives the wave, it will send another ultrasonic wave that to be received by A. As the medium is actually carrier of sonic wave, when it flows, the transit time will be different with different flow velocity, which will result in flow velocity and flowrate after calculation of mathematical model.
Flow velocity:

Sound velocity:

Flowrate:

Where:
  V: Gas flow velocity (m/s)
  C: Sound velocity (m/s)
  F: Volume of flowing medium (m3/h)
  D: Diameter of pipe (m)
  : Angle of path to the flow (o)
  : Transit time from transducer A to B (s)
  : Transit time from transducer B to A (s)
  : Sound delay time by circuit, cable and transducer from A to B/ Sound delay time by circuit, cable and transducer from B to A (s)
 

• Features 

Compared with traditional flowmeter, Ultrasonic Meter has outstanding features:
1)  Good performance for measuring low frequency pulsating flow and stable flow;
2)  Can be used for tough medium like gas with little vapor or coal tar;
3)  High accuracy up to 1.0%, and repeatability less than 0.2%;

1. Wide turndown ratio, up to 1:30;
2. Bi-direction measurement, suitable for small working pressure and low flow velocity;
3. Multi-path measurement can reduce the influence of turbulent flow, and the meter can also work normally when one path broken down;
4. No movable parts inside, near no pressure drop, little maintenance;
5. Self-diagnose function will help to judge, correct and alarm for failures, thus reduce measurement loss;
6. It can output flowrate in standard condition after temperature and pressure compensation.

7. In city gas;
8. For well head gas in oilfield;
9. Boiler gas;
10. In large gasification process;
11. Industrial waste gas and torch gas.
