Why Choose Multi-Beam Ultrasonic Flowmeters over other Flowmeters?

Ultrasonic flow meters are non-infiltrative flow measuring systems that use sensors to produce ultrasonic waves traveling through the transducers in the flow to determine flow velocity followed by calculating flow rate. These meters are simple and easy to incorporate. They can easily resist abrasion unlike other invasive flow metering devices with moving parts. Furthermore, an Ultrasonic meter is classified as transit-time and doppler.

For crude oil and refined commodities, a Multi-beam Ultrasonic flowmeter is specifically used for custody transfer. The technology and the use of the transducer are the same. Within the inner walls of the flowmeters, a pair of transducer and receiver are placed upstream and downstream respectively. The travel time from the transmitting transducer and receiving transducer is measured accurately with the flowmeter technology. This obtained transit time is further used to find the flow velocity in real-time.

An Ultrasonic flow meter beholds multiple pairs of transducers, each of which provides brisk transit-time measurements. As a result, there's a lot of fundamental data for averaging and calculating flow rates.

Further, just using a bi-directional pipe prover or a piston prover for small volume can verify the flowmeter instantaneously. 

Multi-beam ultrasonic flowmeters comply with international as well as indigenous standards.

The unique design

Multibeam ultrasonic meters comprise two sets of transducers with eight pieces in each set. The first set releases four ultra beams received by the second set and the process continues the other way around. This installation forms a multi-star design of the ultrasonic flow meter that ensures maximum coverage of the flow. 

Benefits of Multi-beam ultrasonic flowmeters over other ultrasonic flowmeter types

• Ensured accuracy of the measurements.
• In the case of hydrocarbons, multibeam flowmeters are immune to water content.
• Can be calibrated on-site with the help of a prover.
• Ultrasonic Multi-beam Flowmeters have a complete bore and no obstructions to the flow. As a result, the pressure drop throughout the meter is comparable to that of a pipe length.

Having learned the benefits the significance of Multi-beam Ultrasonic Flowmeter is evident and for the best purchase, OGSI is the place.
