KDF1200 Portable Doppler Flow Meter
1.Introduction
The ultrasonic Portable Doppler Flow Meter is based on the Doppler effect. The probe sends a beam of ultrasonic waves obliquely upward (or forward). The ultrasonic waves propagate in the fluid. The fluid may contain impurities such as bubbles or particles (it can be considered that the impurities in the fluid have the same speed as the water flow). When the ultrasonic waves come into contact with the impurities in the fluid, the reflected ultrasonic waves will produce a Doppler frequency shift Δf. The Doppler frequency shift Δf is proportional to the flow velocity. The flow velocity of the fluid can be measured by measuring the Doppler frequency shift Δf.
The portable ultrasonic Doppler flow meter is a convenient metering device developed based on field application experience. It follows the principle of simplicity and convenience in assembly, testing, data collation, etc., aiming to provide users with a good experience. The product integrates the corresponding cross-sectional area calculation formula based on various channel types in nature. The instantaneous flow rate can be calculated by the velocity area method, and the cumulative flow rate is calculated based on the cumulative time selected by the user.
