7 Measurement Principle - Transit Time FLEXIM s flow meters measure according to the Transit-Time principle Two Ultrasonic Transducers alternatively emit and receive signals protruding into the pipe The Signal going with the flow travels the distance faster than the one against the current This time difference is measured and allows for the calculation of the flow velocity and the volume flow rates As liquids and gases behave differentely, FLEXIM developed two specific transducer technologies to cope for every application with the best accuracy possible As the Transducers are clamped-on to the pipe wall, there is no need for any process shutdown during installation!

8 Variety of Transducers Flexim has Shear and Lamb wave transducers to cover various applications shear wave, one transducer can cover wide range of pipe size, independent to pipe wall thickness, relatively narrow beam Lamb wave, wide beam could be used for applications where pipe size and wall thickness are dependent
