超声波流量计原理详细说明（Ultrasonic flowmeter principle detailed description） I. The principle of ultrasonic flow meter: ultrasonic wave carries information about the velocity of fluid when it travels in a flowing fluid. Therefore, the flow rate of the fluid can be detected by the received ultrasonic wave, thus converting to the flow rate. The ultrasonic pulse travels through the pipe from one sensor to the other, just like a ferry boatman crossing a river. When the gas does not flow, the sound pulses propagate in two directions at the same speed (sound speed, C). If the gas in the pipe has a certain velocity of V (which is not equal to zero), the sound pulses along the direction of the flow will be transmitted faster, and the acoustic pulses going against the flow direction will be transmitted more slowly. In this way, the downstream transmission time tD will be shorter, while the upstream transmission time tU will be longer. Here is a long or short transmission time and gas flow is compared; according to the detection, can be divided into ultrasonic flow velocity difference method, Doppler method, beam deflection method, noise method and correlation method of different types. Acoustic wave flowmeter has been used in recent years with the rapid development of integrated circuit technology. According to the principle of signal detection, the ultrasonic flowmeter can be divided into velocity difference method (including direct time difference method and time difference method, phase difference, frequency difference method) beam deviation method, Doppler method, correlation method, spatial filtering and noise method etc.. Among them, the principle and structure of the noise method is the simplest, which is easy to measure and carry. The price is cheap, but the accuracy is low. It is suitable for the occasions where the flow measurement accuracy is not high. The basic principle of direct time difference method and time difference method, frequency difference and phase difference m
