A Global Market of Ultrasonic Flow meter
The global ultrasonic flow meter demand was around US$ 1.1 Billion in 2017! And projected to be US$ 1.8 Billion in 2018!
An ultrasonic flow meter is a measuring device that is used to gauge the volume of a fluid or gas that is moving through a pipeline. The device measures the fluid velocity which further estimates the motion of a gas or any liquid flowing. The velocity of the material flowing is measured with the help of ultrasonic transducers. Beside with fluids, one can also measure the velocity of molten sulphur, chemicals, cryogenic liquids, and even gases and steam. This instrument generally works on three separate principles i.e transition time difference, doppler effect, and Open Channel Flow Measurement Principle. Ultrasonic flow meters are largely used in industries like wastewater, chemical, food and beverages, mining, metals, pharmaceuticals, power generation, paper, and pulp industry, etc.
This ability to gauge with high efficiency and accuracy of ultrasonic flow meters can be associated to the fact that they do not undergo mechanical wear and tear, do not cause a drop in the pressure of the fluid flowing through the pipe, and can be used for bidirectional measurements as well. Ultrasonic flowmeters are playing a major role in making two directional flow measurements that can be done with clamp-on flowmeters.
The other major factor that is pushing the demand for ultrasonic flow meters is their non- invasive nature that provided by its inherent design. These flow meters do not require to come in contact with the fluid or require cutting of the pipeline in order to take the flow measurements. That makes them highly accurate, reliable and require low-maintenance when they aren't coming contact with any corrosive fluids or gases. Moreover, the rising number of refineries catalyzed by increasing energy demand worldwide especially in developing parts of Africa, Asia Pacific, and Latin America is also expanding new markets for ultrasonic flow meters.
Types of Ultrasonic Flow Meter:
There are three distinct types of ultrasonic flow meters. Transmission (or transit-time or Time of Flight ) flow meters can be distinguished into in-line (intrusive, wetted) and clamp-on (non-intrusive) varieties. Ultrasonic flow meters that use the Doppler shift are called reflection or Doppler flow meters.
